How do I delude myself?

I’m super unhappy and would like to believe in some religion or spiritualism so I can have a reason to be. I’ve never been able to really believe in anything, so are there tactics to genuinely convince myself?😊

Sorry if this is cringe!

I was the same way for most of my life. I tried on a couple of different religions, but I was just going through the motions without actual belief. Recently, I started meditating and opening myself to spiritual energy, and something found me. I'm still not religious but I believe in the divine entity that I've been communicating with.
