Why would candida stop one from having a relationship? Perhaps the social issue is deeper than that, as loving relationships can only help illness. Since you seem to have trouble connecting, you might want to start with a pet; less responsibility, but you'll develop compassion and true caring by taking care of a living being. Sometimes we need to take the emphasis off ourselves and GIVE to have a rewarding relationship. That's what the "lesser" creatures have to teach us.
