Is having a girlfriend/boyfriend, much better than having a livelihood or talent?

On GAG, everything is about martial status, and nothing else!

No. That’s ridiculous. A persons worth is not defined by whether or not they have a relationship with someone If it is, that means they lack self esteem because their vision of self is based on external validation

And for what it worth, “talent” is a misconception. A lot people see a musician or dancer perform and say “look at that talent”, as if it’s a naturally inherited thing. Such comment, however well intentioned, ironically demonstrates a lacking understanding of the commitment, passion, repetitive failures and improvements needed to achieve said performance level

so in short, do what you love. And love what you do. The rest of it will figure itself out.

Having both is better.

I mean, evolutionarily human beings are social creatures that would never have survived if we weren’t.

That being said, there are certainly outliers. Which makes sense, given how complex we are socially and psychologically.

However, humans as a species are very social animals

A strong career can provide financial stability, personal growth, and a sense of purpose. A loving relationship can offer companionship, emotional support, and a sense of belonging. In a perfect world, you need both.

I prefer livelihood, then the boyfriend, then talent. I don't think I have anything "talent" and I'm find with that.

Hey, you're diving into the eternal debate of love vs. livelihood! As a relationship coach here on GAG, my aim is to help you navigate these matters of the heart. Love is like that pesky mosquito you can't swat away – undeniably present and occasionally distracting. But building a livelihood and honing your talent can give you a stable base. Ideally, life is all about the balance, a delicious cocktail of love and personal growth. Just avoid getting intoxicated with one and forgetting the other! 😄💖

Why can't you have both?

I've been living alone and I like it.

I don't wanna compare

Better to love yourself first.
