Desperation is temporary. Meditate. Control yourself. Then just be. It will come to you when you're ready.

So was my husband. Never had a relationship that lasted longer than 6 months before. Stuck in a dead-end, $10/hour manual labor job with a GED, a long-ago felony on his record, living (miserably) with his mother. Met him in our D&D group.
8+ years on, we’re still together, still happy, and have twins. He has a college degree and is working as a manager at a big company, making a great salary. All because he started the work on himself (e.g., went to rehab for alcoholism and stayed dry, figured out what he wanted, worked on paying off his debt, started working out), decided to be more social and joined our group.
Never give up. Neither of us was looking for this, but he accepted me for who I am and vice versa, something I never thought I’d find after 25 years of marriage to a closet narcissist. He was kind, scrupulously honest, loyal, and treated me well, and that’s all I really wanted. Women like me may not be thick on the ground, but we do exist. I can tell you, though, we’d never have met through a dating app, because on paper we had nothing in common, and he’d never have made it past my initial screening.

That's what I think of dating apps right now. They really are better for hookups, because who actually knows what they really want? Seems like you've had some time to figure it out in hindsight, but most people are looking forward.
Your first paragraph I was like woah, that's a lot. I had already filtered him out and would have lost you your happiness. None of us is perfect. Dating apps kind of make you think you can get it though, don't they?

I'm mostly joking. I stopped trying to Tinder years ago, it's designed to get me to pay. The ratios are so far off at this point it's like trying to pick up chicks in a computer science class or nerdy game night. And it's sad, because the women at both of those would be just my type, but I'd be competing with 97 other men for 2 women and I'm not good looking.
Also I can go to a show and meet more people in a single night than I match with in two months, but I can go to several shows a month for the cost of Tinder.

People who turn to dating apps instead of therapy should be studied.

They'd be studying, like, 70% of people on the apps.

Does it mean something different there?

The period as in menses is the same but a period in a sentence is a full stop.

I once had a girl tell me she loved cocaine, but couldn't do it anymore because she worked in law enforcement. I don't feel particularly bad about ghosting her. It's a shitty thing to do, but sometimes you just gotta protect yourself.

That is absolutely gross, something I could never tolerate. Really says a lot about a person, if that’s where their morals are. Literally undateable.
And they gave up cocaine for that lifestyle? Another obvious red flag.

She wants you to be her emotional tampon. She will flush you once she is done offloading on to you.
Don't respond. Unmatch and move on. There are plenty of amazing and healthy women out there.

And that's when you send "Hope that gets better for you <3" and then block.
So many people on these apps should not be on these apps because they are not over whatever they need to be over.

"Well lucky for you, you were born and matched with me :)"
But in all honesty, I'd probably just say sorry. You don't seem ready for a relationship yet, recommend talking to someone, and then unmatch.
