Oh allow me to direct you to my recent comment where I went full throttle on that subject lol..well if I can recall the thread..
Anyway, I would gladly not care if society didn't keep shoving the idea and weight of it down my fucking throat.
I'm a little beyond apathy, and it just makes me angry now with how much importance and stock is put into the idea, as well as the real life embodiment.
Same thing for having children, we reward couples and their procreation, and why?
I am sick of it.
I know being in a relationship would only bring me more problems and turmoil and heighten any issues that are already killing me.
I see this happen in individuals who have far less torture and trauma than myself.
Relationships don't solve problems, they throw a bandaid on them, and eventually create more of their own.
So if you ever end the relationship, you often find yourself worse off than before you got involved.
Any desires or holes in your sense of fulfillment will feel even more neglected and empty once you realize all you did by getting into a relationship, was put YOU on pause, to become US and THEM.
When people don't know who they are and what they want in life..when they set themselves up to lose that opportunity by melding themselves into another person, bad things happen, under the obfuscating umbrella of chemical euphoria.
Just look at the amount of people who are here due to some type of relationship drama, break-up, or as you mentioned, a complete lack of companionship simply because they have not been able to get into said romantic/sexual relationship.
I can only relate to that last part indirectly, because I have no desire for such-or my desire for other things is far more overwhelming-but there is a reason to why people feel the need to pursue a relationship and how the failure to do so fills them with so much dread and emptiness.
The expectation has seeped into every crevice of the modern world, social media putting a major spotlight on those who flaunt their position once they reach it.
Even those of us who wish to direct our attention elsewhere, aren't exactly allowed to avert our eyes.
