Does anyone else feel like this?

Other than being a woman or man with needs, you feel mild jealousy when you see cute guys and pretty girls out together and you’re single? The wanting to be with someone is more than physical. It’s a dull, nagging ache at the back of your mind. You try explaining it to other single friends and they think you’re just needing sex. You want a relationship but by your thirties, you’re weary of getting your heart broken and aware that it’s better to be alone than unhappy. If so, how do you deal with it? Aside from hooking up with people who will use you? Which I haven’t done in years.

I feel the same. I also see how happy my friends are with their partners and get chocked up because I'd love to be in a happy loving relationship. I'm single, and don't want to be. But I've been in some of the most abusive relationship, so I've decided it's better to be alone than abused. I know men aren't all the same, but I just don't think there's a Mr. Right out there for me

I am a very affectionate person and i miss cuddles and hugs more than anything else. I have so much love to give but I've always given it yo the wrong people.

Yeah it’s hard…especially coming out of a relationship near valentines but I just think things happen for a reason and if I was meant to be with someone I would be and I won’t settle for someone just to be in a couple…I’d rather be alone then be with the wrong one.

That’s how I feel too.

That does sound terrible. I'm sorry to hear that.

Given how shitty dating is these days? Lol no.




Everyone is cheating on each other like crazy now

I have never been single long enough to have that feeling.

I distract myself and get pissed off occasionally.

You were conditioned and indoctrinated to be alone and they sold you several pills for that. Now you're alone and are being conditioned to accept that. Anti depressants are available and recommended. The "education" is mandatory. Resistance is futile. Take your pill, pay your tax. Always remember you voted for this.

[Asker]

What exactly did I vote for? Taking antidepressants is no joke.

[Randalama]

No discourse is required. The science is settled. Take your pill, pay your tax. This is not a negotiation.

[Asker]

You don’t make sense. I’m not looking to negotiate. I’m seeking to understand what you’re talking about.

[Randalama]

I make perfect sense. You understand completely. If you were looking for understanding you wouldn't come to GAG. You are looking for validation, gratification. You are not responsible, it's not your fault, that's what you want to hear but I simply cannot offer that. If your question is genuine than the answer is yes. Lots of people feel like this. Ungratified, Unvalidated.

I was actually literally asking if anyone else feels this way.
