Is it time to give up on love when it feels like my only purpose in life?

[Anonymous]

Some wished I was born in the same religion as them,
Some said I was tall and handsome.
Some just didn't feel any attraction.
Being stood up, saying that I thought you will be better looking in person.
Is it time to give up?
But giving up for me is dying.
Cause for my whole life my goal is to find love and earn money to settle down.
Then get a good land and earn just enough to get us by. Pay for my children's college.
And as I am approaching my 30's it's becoming harder for me to accept anyone who had past relationships, mistakes , or children.
I am a bit narrow minded. I changed that but I got the same result each time.
I also tried to look for better dreams to fulfil.
And to be fulfilled, but nothing attracts me.
Love was my only salvation. It was my final goal.
Finding a place together, building a home, and living in it.
Giving up on my ideals, my dreams, and finding a new dream is too difficult.
It has been a complete disaster when I tried something new ( it was making my parents proud, I did it once that's all)
Then I changed it to finding a good job and paying back all the money my dad spent on me, with all taxes and inflation.
Also completed,
I can't find any other purposes in life which are well suited for me. Not a leader, do not have a good voice, do not have skills other then computer things
Even trying to build one not getting good at it even after years of practice (music, dance, sports)
I have tried a lot of things, acting, playing cricket, football, hockey I am shit at it, dance a bit (one day and it was too overwhelming and bad cause no one wanted to me my partner felt a bit worse), singing my voice not good, instrument I got somewhere with drums but still not good enough to play in a band or solo, hacking still nowhere, coding I was always bad at it but somehow got a job.
I am running out of a lot of good careers and hobbies.

Love, selfless love, conquers all.

Keep on loving.

Loving won't guarantee immediate, short-term, or even long-term gains in return, but not loving will guarantee failure.

I choose to love.

My life isn't wine and roses, by any stretch of the imagination.

I still choose to love. 😊♥

Naa it doesn't work for me,
People used me, then cast me aside.
Even women did the same, men did the same, even my own family did the same.

I still choose to love, but now I don't have anything else to love.
I loved myself enough to turn myself into an egoistic madman.
But still a shit one

Feeling like love is your only purpose can be overwhelming. When a relationship doesn’t work out or love feels out of reach, it can leave you questioning everything—your worth, your future, and even your reason for living. But does that mean it’s time to give up on love completely? Not necessarily. Love is a powerful human need. It gives us connection, meaning, and emotional security. Sometimes, due to past experiences or emotional attachment, we begin to centre our entire identity around one person or the idea of being loved. getduaforlove. com/

I dated non-stop for the best part of 10 years before meeting my husband in 2009. Only losers give up.

Sometimes love feels like the final boss of life, and losing to it makes everything else look pointless 💔

I’ve been there: gaming, hobbies, work… none of it hit as deeply as the idea of “finding my person” and building a home. But life isn’t over at 30, and you’re not broken because things haven’t worked yet.

Your dreams can evolve without dying. You can still want love, but also build small wins: better health, new games, deeper friendships, learning skills at your own pace.

Love isn’t your only purpose, it’s just the one that hurts the most right now ❤️‍🩹

I didn’t. I just waited and was patient.

Your 20, where as I am 28

You are the lucky one who got it early
