How to be alone?

Hey! So I (32,NB) noticed that I have always struggled with being alone. Nowadays I see that my addiction to constant contact with people got worse. I also scroll through dating apps to find some new entertaining people. Currently I have 1 partner (32,NB), 1 meanigful relationship (26,NB) currently abroad and I am dating a new person (27,F). I can see that I have some sort of NRE but I don’t really like this feeling cause I tend to obsess about them like „why aren’t they texting me”. It’s draining and I want to learn how to be alone and fulfilled without being on the phone all the time in order to write either to my partner or my current date or swiping on Feeld etc. I know it can come from anxious attachment. I am in DBT therapy. Just to give the context - I am AuADHD. I would appreciate some helpful advice how to be more content with myself cause I tend to chase novelty, be addicted to texting and checking my phone and constantly think about my love life.

Any advice? 😭
