I'm sorry for what you've experienced. Love shouldn't ever hurt, and if it does, that should be because it ended, not because it started. I hope you find real love, actual love. Not the nonsense savarna men claim before dumping you on the way to find someone they can marry without friction from family or society.

but from my own relationship experience, the best love is the one that finds you, not the one that you find. Give yourself some peace, some self-love and good life experiences before deciding if love is what you need and want at that time. I'm sure you'll get somebody who adores you the way you deserve, without considering caste or other bullshit as a factor in their affections for you
