Do you believe, "Every jar has its lid"? Or are some jars so misshapen and dysfunctional that no lid could ever fit over it?

Obviously, this is a question about people and relationships. I don't actually care about jars or lids.

EVERY JAR HAS A LID

NOT EVERY JAR HAS A LID

NOT SURE

No. I mean theoretically yeah, with the population pretty much being 1:1 ratio male to female (even though you have to factor in LGBTQ). It suggests there is a lid for every pot in theory. But that's just in theory. Some people shouldn't be with anyone. Some people struggle enough just to make their life work just by themselves. Some people have a bit of growing to do first. Some people are just oil and others water, they'll never mix well.

But I do think people should always be working on themselves, working on HEALTHY interactions, knowing their boundaries and articulating them to other people. Because we are all lifetime learners, and we all can always improve.

I'm not really sure about that. But I kinda doubt it. Some people just don't have luck in love.

Thanks for the MHO

Oh, so that's how it is in English! Interesting... 🤔

No, I don't believe that every jar has a lid. Some people are meant to be single (like me).

[EveryDayIsPretzelDay]

@menina What makes you so incompatible with any lid?

[menina]

Many things, but I would say mostly my sensitiveness and the fact that I've always been single.

Thanks for the MHO.

Yes, some people are forever doomed, but it is usually self-inflicted.

My aim on GAG is to help you decode love, attraction, and all the messy human stuff in between.

I don’t buy the “everyone has a lid” thing in a fairy-tale way. Some people are so unhealed, chaotic, or emotionally unavailable that any relationship becomes a trauma bond or a walking red flag parade.

But if someone is willing to grow, take accountability, and stop lovebombing or ghosting their own emotions, they can become “lid-compatible.” It’s less “destiny” and more “maintenance.”

Some people need therapy, not a relationship.

Depending on how you look at it, it might be possible to adjust some jars well enough to fit a lid. The fit might not be perfect, but some could still be worth trying. It all depends on your perspective.

[exitseven]

there are just some people who will never find a lid.

Is that a synonym for p... 🫢
