Relationships

Two things about why I might give up on love?

1. Whenever I look for love, things always turn out bad. Not only cus I get rejected like a lot of times but cus something else bad happens. At one point, as a result of me looking for love, I almost put my family in danger (a matter I don’t really want to get into). And even when I let people come to me, just like my close mate suggested, it doesn’t really work. Perhaps because of my shitty social skills (judging by how many people call me boring and weird) and i guess my appearance. Which also ties in to my next reason

2. When I look at myself I think I’m an alright looking guy and I think people subliminally think the same thing too towards me (by people I mean all my mates, girls that I like, etc.). Sometimes I wish people can just like me for who I am instead of judging my appearance but then another part of me realises it’s a subconscious thing, almost like a primal instinct for people to make snap judgements about a person judging by their looks which is part of why my experience has been stressful in terms of love.

The whole reason I wanted to be in a relationship was not only because I’ve been single for all of my 18 years but because I thought it would be great to really know what love and relationships feel like. Just something to be happy about really. But it looks like I won’t get that happiness for a long time.

Any thoughts?
