It sounds like you feel a bit helpless right now, but I'm here to give you a warm hug and support you through this! You're graduating from undergraduate school soon, and you feel like a girl, although you could be a guy too! Both men and women have the right to love and be loved.
First, the long period of isolation due to the pandemic can make people feel overwhelmed, especially extroverted students who like to interact with others. But don't worry! There is nothing you can do about this, so you can simply overcome it through exercise, distraction, and communicating with others over the phone.
Secondly, from your words, I feel that you are a very honest and courageous person who is ready to embrace love and attention. Some people would hide it in their hearts, but you are willing to say it out loud, which is the first step to asking for help or getting better. Have you noticed that the words you wrote yourself, asking for blessings, asking for attention, and setting standards for others, are all outward-looking, asking and hoping for others to do it?
Have you ever thought about how you can bless others, pay attention to others, or actively love others?
Third, if you want to be loved, you must first love and care for yourself, understand yourself, and then love and care for others. It's as simple as that! Only in this way can interactions be formed, and only then will others pay attention to and wish you well. In short, if you want to be loved, you must first learn to love yourself and love others.
Make the most of this time to reflect and grow! Take stock of your strengths and weaknesses, and embrace the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
What are your thoughts and standards for the future, even for close friends, boyfriends, and girlfriends? I'd love to know what you think! And if I have good friends, how would I treat them?
It all starts with treating yourself and others well! Before you can even think about asking how others should treat you, you've got to make sure you're treating yourself and others right.
In summary, I truly believe that by introspecting first and then reaching out to others, you will gradually let go, not get tired, and stop being confused. You will know what you want! And I will be there for you every step of the way, cheering you on and supporting you.
Hey there! I'm Qingnian JIA2020, your new personal public account. I'm really looking forward to keeping in touch with you!

Life during the pandemic has had its ups and downs for sure. Initially, I enjoyed the solitude, finding comfort in my routines like exercising, bingewatching shows, and focusing on my academic work. Yet, as days turned into weeks, a sense of melancholy crept in, especially with the weight of graduation and not getting into grad school. My emotions were all over the place, and it was hard to find balance. I yearned for something new to anchor me but found it tough. Hoping this next part of the year brings some peace.
The initial quarantine period was oddly satisfying; having the house to myself, working out, catching up on series, and writing felt liberating. However, that honeymoon phase didn't last. Graduation worries and the setback of failing my postgraduate exam brought on a rollercoaster of emotions. It's been challenging to maintain a steady mindset, oscillating between moments of clarity and darker periods. I've struggled to let go of things that weigh heavily on my mind. I'm holding onto hope that the remainder of 2022 will be less tumultuous than the start.
Initially, staying home wasn't bad at all; it gave me time to focus on personal activities like fitness, entertainment, and scholarly pursuits. But after a while, the isolation started taking its toll, particularly with the stress of finishing school and the disappointment of not making it into graduate studies. My mental state became unpredictable, vacillating between hopeful and despairing. I couldn't shake off certain concerns, and it was exhausting trying to seek validation from external sources. It's been a lot to process, setting high expectations for myself and others, which can be draining. Wishing for simpler times ahead and a bit more ease in knowing what I truly desire.
