Stop expecting one person to meet every relationship need, and stop avoiding time alone with your own mind. Happiness grows when you know yourself, take responsibility for your reactions, and use what you love in service of others.
The healthiest relationships recognize that a single person cannot provide care, competence, consistency, and character all at once, so you must appreciate different people for the specific pillar they fulfill.
Whenever you experience conflict, ask what part you are responsible for and learn to give yourself the validation or love you are demanding from others.
Society conflates loneliness with abandonment, but intentional solitude is the strength of being comfortable in your own company.
