I Wish I Didn’t Crave For Love- Ari Lennox

Ari Lennox has admitted that she struggles with self-confidence in regard to dating and relationships and that she felt “unattractive” because she “wanted love so badly.”

The R&B artist admitted on Twitter on Thursday (March 9) that she might have damaged her self-esteem in the pursuit of love.

Ari said that it has caused her to feel “blind and weak,” which made her “dangerously trusting.”

“Have I made myself unattractive by wanting love so bad?” she asked. “By speaking about it? Complaining about it? I wish I didn’t crave it.”

Ari continued: “I wish it didn’t make me blind, weak, and so dangerously trusting. I wish I had no love inside of me. Wish I didn’t have emotions. Wish I didn’t care.”
