Is it normal to feel this melancholic?

A month ago I tried laying in bed and pleasure myself, and I cried instead. I realized how I don't have anybody I can fulfill my fantasies with, not even someone I can call late at night when I can't sleep. I forgot how it feels to be kissed or touched. I've been feeling so lonely lately, I never felt this way before. I have friends I hang out with but when I see couples or people holding hands I get really sad. I'm in my mid-teens, I'm aware I shouldn't rush into things but I can't help it. I never felt this way before, I honestly never been this lonely. My self-esteem has dropped to the deep bottom. I gave up on looking for someone, and I don't really do my hair or try to look pretty anymore. I cry myself to sleep almost everynight, nothing motivates me anymore. I haven't had anyone special in years. I don't feel like I'm going to be alone forever, but just a long long long time. Is this normal?

    I usually don't comment on stories. But this one really got my attention.

    I know exactly how you feel. I'm probably younger than you but I know how you feel. I say it is normal. Just remember that your not alone in this world. I'm pretty sure we're both going to find someone special. I hope.

    See a therapist. Good luck.

    Sidenote: I'm pretty sure you just wrote the lyrics to a Celine Dion song.

    See a rapist.
    Shit,I meant therapist.Wait,I am a therapist!
    No wait,I'm The Rapist!
    Where am I?What am I even doing here?How I got here?
    Damn.

    I just wanted to give you a laugh.Hope it worked.
    That's not being melanchonic.You just need to be touched and loved!You are a very easily exploitable person.Any moron could do you the way you are going.
    Just accept the fact that you will probably have nobody to do these things to you once and for all buy yourself a giant vibrator and give yourself the extremest orgasms you can get.Fuck romances!
    Believe me,if you get this right,you will look at couples and just go:AHAHAHAHAH!What a couple of lamos!Oh,you can get yourself a dog.A puppy.A cat.
    Or a gerbil to shove up your ass.The only reason I miss having a person like that is I can't sleep at night If I don't cuddle and snuggle a little.
    My pillow had enough.
    Tomorrow I'm gonna buy a new one.

    I stopped reading when you mentined you're in your teens. If you still feel like that in your late 20's then worry.

    I'm pretty much the same way, but I don't 'pleasure' myself since I find myself to be gross and no one wants to touch something that's gross. Anyways, I have a feeling I'm going to be alone for the rest of my life, but oddly enough, I still have a little hope... very little hope.
    No worries, it's normal.

    I'm 18 never had a partner before so I don't even know what it feels like to be kisses or touched.

    I used to (and still do from time to time) feel pretty much like what you described. I end up crying and get a weird aching pain feeling in my chest.

    I guess when your a teenager your body is telling you to find a partner and if you can't find one then it seems only natural to feel bad about it.

    I tell myself that it's a silly thing to get upset about and although being lonely is not good there are far worse things that I could be going through. Usually this helps me pull myself together.

    Hopefully you found something in this comment helpful.
