If you would like to avoid becoming isolated from love and emotions, it might be helpful to consider removing the insulating material.
Have you ever considered the possibility that the depression you experience in high school and the current insulation from love, as well as the current feeling of loneliness without anyone to talk to, may be related to the fact that you have been a good girl since you were young and up to the age of 18? Could it be that the insulating material you have become may be a result of your actions?
Could I respectfully propose that there might be a link between being obedient and becoming emotionally insensitive?
Because they are obedient, they may sometimes feel the need to meet other people's expectations and ignore their own emotional needs. A child who has been obedient for a long time may sometimes feel very depressed or deny their own emotions and needs.
As we grow up, we may either develop a personality trait of lacking opinions and being submissive and pleasing to others, or one of appearing to conform to the expectations of others, while breaking taboos and doing things that are out of the ordinary, which may bring danger to oneself.
Before the age of 18, it is often expected that girls will not think about love.
Have you ever considered why you held such a strong conviction at that time?
It is a normal part of life for people to experience a confused urge for emotions when they reach puberty. This is a natural physical and psychological process.
It is often thought that in order to be a good girl, falling in love is absolutely forbidden and something that cannot be considered.
This kind of thinking can lead to confusion between innocent emotions and love, and even mistake innocent liking for love.
So, when you describe your feelings for the boy you like, you use the words "the most outrageous thing."
I think it's fair to say that he's doing well, and that it's perfectly fine to ride the bus with him. Perhaps you could have expressed your liking or desire to be friends?
It seems that at that time, your efforts to be good may have started to insulate you somewhat from your emotional needs.
It seems that you have never had the experience of being liked or having your feelings expressed.
I believe there may have been an unspoken rule in your heart that you had to be a good boy and not fall in love.
I believe that at that time, you may have kept a certain distance from the opposite sex. This could have made the opposite sex feel that you were not easy to get close to, or that there was a sense of distance.
This could be seen as the insulating material of "good behavior," which may prevent outsiders from "conducting" emotions to you.
The insulating material of "being good" may also insulate inwardly, preventing the inner emotions from "outputting current" to express one's inner feelings.
You mentioned that you were feeling depressed during your time in high school. While I'm not sure of the specific cause, there is a common observation about individuals struggling with depression: it can be challenging for them to express their emotions in a way that is socially acceptable, which can lead to feelings of isolation and distress.
I believe this is the issue that arises from the part of "good" that insulates inwardly.
Because you have to align with the expectations and demands of others, you may find yourself suppressing, denying, or ignoring the expression of your true emotions. This state of mind can potentially contribute to depressive symptoms.
It can also potentially contribute to the formation of negative internal beliefs, such as feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness. This self-doubt can, in some cases, lead to a sense of inferiority and reluctance to form close connections with others.
In terms of interpersonal relationships, she would become apprehensive about socializing, unsure of how to interact with others. She would have to choose to be alone, and would feel lonely, but not know who to confide in.
I often felt lonely and, on occasion, when I sought to express my emotions, I found myself crying in private.
You may be able to relate to this if you think about it. This sense of loneliness and the feeling of having nowhere to release it is not unlike this.
I found myself lacking the motivation to engage in any particular activity, and if I did experience feelings of romantic interest, I tended to prioritize conversation and physical affection.
You mentioned that you don't necessarily feel the need to do much if you fall in love, and that it's more about chatting and cuddling.
It's also possible that this is a result of the tendency to be overly self-sacrificing, which can sometimes lead to confusion about one's own emotions.
If I may, I would like to share an experience from my past that might shed some light on this issue. When I was in junior high school, I encountered a boy I liked and experienced a certain degree of emotional confusion.
Perhaps what you might benefit from at this time is making a friend before pursuing a romantic relationship.
It might be more practical to focus on finding someone you like first, whether they are a man or a woman. As long as there is something to appreciate or a topic to talk about, it might be helpful to become friends first.
It might be helpful to try expressing your emotions, experiencing the feelings that result from emotional output and emotional input, and finding a way to communicate your emotions so that the emotional current is no longer insulated, but emotions can interact with others and produce a current effect.
It's possible that you may not be immune to love, but it seems that you have been bound by "good behavior" for so many years that you are a little uncomfortable with interpersonal socialization and emotional expression.
I believe these problems can be solved by changing the way we interact with others and the way we express ourselves.
In other words, it seems that these emotional communication and expression skills are innate, but they have been suppressed to some extent. When we remove the obstacles that prevent us from connecting with our emotions, we can begin to reconnect with them.
Then, you may find it easier to express your emotions freely. If you are able to release your emotions safely, you may feel less lonely. Real and rich emotions and feelings are what make people come alive. If you feel your emotions are repressed or denied, you may feel like there is always a dark cloud over your head, and you may feel reluctant to get close to others.
It is perfectly okay to shed tears openly when you are feeling sad.
If you would like to find someone to chat with, you might consider going and looking for them. If you are unable to find them, you may wish to try writing down your emotional feelings or expressing them here as you are doing now.
Writing can be an effective way to release emotions. If you receive a response or feedback, it can also be beneficial for emotional communication, interaction, and self-awareness.
If you're feeling lonely, you might like to try hugging yourself. This can be a way of connecting with your inner emotions.
Perhaps it would be beneficial to stop being a good girl and start being the real you.
Perhaps the first step to becoming more independent and self-sufficient is to learn to protect your heart and emotions. This could help you to become less dependent on others and more open to love.

I can totally relate to feeling down when it seems like love is passing you by. It's hard not having anyone to share your thoughts with, especially when you're at a point in life where you're ready for companionship.
It sounds like you've been through quite a lot, and it's understandable that you feel lonely. Maybe it's time to try new activities or join groups that interest you; meeting people organically could lead to friendships and maybe more.
The way you cared for that boy in junior high shows you have a caring heart. Sometimes love comes when you least expect it. Try focusing on what makes you happy and the right person might notice you.
Depression can really hold you back, but it doesn't define your future. There are so many ways to connect with others now, like online communities. You never know who you might meet that shares your feelings.
It's tough being 25 and feeling like you're behind in the relationship race. But remember, quality over quantity. When the right person comes along, age won't matter as much as compatibility and understanding.
