Oh boy does this resonate with me. I know exactly how you feel. I am so sorry, too, because I know it hurts very deeply.
All I can tell you is that it was not until I learned to look in the mirror and truly see
myself as a beautiful person worthy of love,
regardless of whether I had someone else in my life to validate that did I ever experience true happiness or attract healthy people into my life. You don't need someone else to prove that you have value in this world. In fact, no one else is even capable of such a thing. It is a gift that only you can give yourself. I hope that one day you do. Until then please stick around here for support and understanding. We get you.
