Is being in a relationship the only way to feel complete in life?

This question was inspired by a argument that I had with someone on TikTok earlier, who claimed that romantic love is essential to the human experience. in my opinion people can live a fulfilling life without being in a relationship, just the experience of "being in a relationship" isn't automatically fulfilling. There are countless examples that prove this.

You're not set for life just because you were in a relationship once. Of course having that bonus is not bad, bonus is good… always. I don't understand why society makes it seem like it's the end of the world, if you aren't in a relationship and there are so many people, who obsess over dating.. I personally can't relate to this mentality at all.

No, I don't think so. Relationships aren't for everyone. Some prefer to be single and others feel miserable in a relationship. I don't understand the obsession either.
