You're too young for serious relationships.
Oh ya, I agree, it's more the constant loneliness.
Honestly, i think this is societys view embedded into people. Like, if you dont end up in a house with a picked white fence with a stable spouse, a few kids, and a great career, you didnt make yourself up to what you could have.
I think this falls under a lot of influence of past religions with huge family orientations and marriages. A lot of huge parts of life in the past have a great influence on our way of modern thinking and a lot of these things can be found especially in relationships.
People are doomed to be losers if they dont have success in relationships, when in reality, you dont need in any way another person to make them happy in the least.
Look at so many alternate life styles. Swingers is a good example. Finding a balance in their sexual beliefs separated from their beliefs of what love is. But it's taboo. But why? There is no real reason besides the influence that religion insisted on monogamous relationships to raise many children. There is no proof that humans are even monogamous. We proved no way naturally that we desire one partner for all of life, but we deem ourselves as failures if marriages fail for 10 year relationship get boring and fail.
We had to practice and exercise our ways to keep them stable, but why?
Society needs to stop pressing that you need great sex all the time and the perfect other in order to be happy, fulfilled, and well..Not lonely. I was single majority of my life and never regretted it. I never seeked relationships. This one just happened and I cant say and will not say this IS the love of my life and I will be with him forever. Who can make such promises. He makes me happy now, I make him happy now, it should be that basic.
Before him, I was happy.
Some people feel so pressured they just skip relationship to relationship, regardless how dumb it is, to fill a void that needs no filling. if you wanna be truely happy, fuck this pressured ideal crap. When you can be fulfilled and unlonely in your own ways with your own friends and own hobbies, or whatever, i'd only pursue a relationship then, or you're just asking to compromise yourself.
Your loneliness is your perspective alone. Not majorities. You got to ask yourself why you feel lonely just because you aren't with someone, and understand that that mindframe can easily be twisted to not feeling lonely for those reasons. Cause honestly, not everyone wants to feel protected, or nurtured, and most importantly, you don't need a GIRLFRIEND to get those things. But its impedded only that person can truly fill you an those needs., when the only person who could understand those things, is yourself and only you.
I gotta stop ranting. D:
