It seems pretty common, honestly. Especially people who want their relationships to be something to get excited about. There's nothing worse than looking at someone you're supposed to spend many years with and thinking ugh...
It seems to be more common these days because most people are brainwashed by social media these days , that assume they aren’t good enough and that no one would want them because they constantly compare themselves to people The see on social media , thinking they have to be fit and have a shit ton of money for someone to be interested in them , so they don’t make any effort to meet anyone or show interest in someone because they automatically assume no one will want them. So they lack confidence and self esteem in themselves over it. Of people put their phones down and social media down and looked at the real world around them , they will see that social media really means shit and that most of it is bullshit and garbage , when someone allows social media to influence their lives , they are in for a rude awakening if they ever realize social media really means nothing. Back when I was younger in my teens when social media and internet chatting sites weren’t really a thing , we actually valued someone that we met in person instead of having our brains flustered with social media nonsense , we didn’t give a shit about where someone else was going on vacation , or what someone was eating , or what someone was wearing , or how much money they had , all those things didn’t matter , we met someone we were attracted to and had great chemistry and connection with and that was it , we didn’t really compare each other to anyone else. But unfortunately social media ruined that for people by making people compare and making people think grass is greener on the other side constantly, why so many relationships and marriages are failing because people have become way more selfish and only think they deserve the best thing out there , thinking they deserve perfect , well there is no such thing as perfect , if you think there is, you are in for a ride awakening because nothing is perfect, we are all imperfect people , we all eat and shit pretty much the same. But unfortunately most people don’t grasp this concept , so they just go for what they think is best for themselves because they can’t admit to themselves that they are wrong , How dare someone point out your flaws because you think you are perfect and do no wrong? So it’s very common for people not to be able to find love because they are either high maintenance or they lack confidence and self esteem within themselves , by comparing themselves to people they see on social media.
They key is to never give up. I have been actively searching for a partner since highschool, and it took me to when I was 34 until I found the woman who is now (over two years later) my wife. Countless mismatches in between, most of them not lasting beyond just a few dates, some longer (longest past relationship was 2,5 years, but without much progress; didn't get close enough to decide to start living together; not enough connection between us that time).
