Itzik,
Regarding privacy, I can’t believe what you describe not to be an exaggeration. Every store owner, cashier etc.?? Why don’t they give me so much attention 😉 You must really stand out of a crowd 😉
Why is it NY, E”Y or the Ukraine… what happened to everything in between?
So they referred you to a live Rov- why not try it out? I personally find it much easier to “spill my guts” to an anonymous person than to someone I know well.
Regarding shidduchim, who is forcing you into anything? You need to find the right one, not just anyone.
“If I truly feel happier alone…”- do you believe that? You do not have control over whether you get married or not, but I don’t feel that’s the correct or healthy perspective. It’s a pronounced shrug. And we all know you didn’t really give up yet.

PS- if you respond to this now, do not think I am ignoring as I need to step away from the CR, most probably for the night. Hatzlocha!
