I wish I had no love inside of me- R&B star Ari Lennox cries out

In regards to dating and relationships, Ari Lennox has acknowledged that she lacks confidence and that she felt “unattractive” because she “wanted love so desperately.”

On March 9, the R&B performer acknowledged via Twitter that she might have harmed her self-esteem while looking for 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.”
