Hello, dear. From what you've said, it seems like you're struggling with depression. It sounds like you're struggling to find meaning and passion in your life. You seem to be going through the motions each day, without much hope or love in your family.
Let's start with a warm hug and then take a look at what's on your mind.

1. Internal conflict:
Internal conflict: 1.
Internal conflict happens when two forces within a person are at odds. It arises when what a person thinks they "should be" clashes with what is actually the case in reality.
Context:
"I should be happy," but I'm not; "I want to fit in with my father's new family," but I don't feel at home...
It seems like there are two sides to you right now, constantly fighting. It's like a tap that's not properly screwed in, dripping non-stop. All that internal conflict is draining your energy.
We all have limited energy, so where is the time and energy to do something more meaningful and important?
If you want to be happy from now on, take a look at what you're trying to hide right now. Pick something that's easy to see, admit your own shortcomings, and get rid of the lies that drain your energy.
Take a good look at what you're proving. Be honest with yourself and admit that what you're proving is actually what you lack.
2. Loneliness:
Loneliness is a feeling that you experience when you feel isolated or alienated from others or society at large.
It's a kind of self-isolation, a severing of connections, a kind of escape. When you isolate yourself from others, you end up feeling pain, like you're in a kind of passive isolation.
The reason for loneliness is that you can't connect with yourself because you can only connect with others and give yourself a good opinion if you connect with yourself.
"Connecting ability" is a key factor in distinguishing loneliness from isolation.
As you mentioned, you experienced your parents' divorce at a young age and didn't have much communication with them. Your introversion is just a way of protecting yourself. Without the love and support of your parents, you learned to protect yourself with your quiet demeanor.
A person's sense of security between the ages of 4 months and 3 years mainly comes from the relationship between the parents, their companionship, and the parenting style. In China, when a parent's marriage fails, it often harms the child, leaving them insecure and lacking the ability to love and connect with others.
Some people don't know how to love or show love, and some don't even know how to accept love. When love comes along, they run away, even though they long for it in their hearts.

3. Happiness:
3. Happiness:
Happiness comes from the smallest things, not from mountains of gold and silver. The best way to reduce internal conflict is to focus on your inner self and what's going on inside you. When you do that, you'll find that your outer life will improve too.
Emotions can also make us feel happy. Feeling love is happiness, and a deeper level of love is what we call "great love"—compassion.
Emotions can also make us feel happy. When we feel loved, we feel happy, and when we love deeply, we feel great love—compassion.
Emotions are like thoughts in the brain. When we understand our emotions, that's when we feel love.
When our emotions are in a good place, it's love.
When you feel all your emotions, it's important to welcome them. They'll come and go, but if you resist them, they'll become tangled up.
When you accept your emotions, you're essentially experiencing happiness because happiness is all about how you feel.
Why can't you experience happiness?
People often find ways to isolate themselves from the world, which can lead to feelings of loneliness.
For instance, a house has walls, but people don't necessarily need them.
For instance, a house has walls, but people don't need them. You need a sense of security before you can tear down those walls.
It's better to focus on developing yourself than seeking external validation. A person with a strong inner self doesn't need to rely on material things or emotions to feel secure. By embracing their vulnerability, they can connect with others and the world around them.
Happiness comes from focusing on the inside, growing through learning, being our own "significant other," and providing the "psychological nutrition" needed for physical and mental health and growth—a sense of security, the ability to love, and the ability to connect with others.
I hope this is helpful to you, and I want to let you know that I love you and the world loves you too.
I hope this is helpful to you. The world and I love you.

I can relate to the complexity of family dynamics you're experiencing. It's tough when there's a shift in family structure, especially with new additions. I'm glad you're making an effort to improve communication with your dad and aunt; it sounds like a positive step forward.
It sounds like you've been through a lot emotionally. Taking time for yourself is important, and it's okay to feel the way you do about work sometimes. Maybe finding a hobby or something you're passionate about could give you a new perspective on life's meaning.
The changes you've made this year show a lot of personal growth. Reaching out and trying to understand where your dad and aunt are coming from takes courage. Building that bridge can be really rewarding over time, even if it's challenging at first.
Your feelings about your parents' divorce and its impact on you are valid. It's not easy being caught in the middle, especially as a child. Now that you're older and taking steps to mend those relationships, it's important to also take care of your own emotional needs and boundaries.
It's interesting how your dad is thinking about your future, suggesting you find a boyfriend. While it might feel a bit intrusive, it seems he cares about your happiness and wants to see you settled. You don't have to rush into anything, though. Take your time and focus on what feels right for you.
