      Hey, thought I'd ask what stuff you enjoy? It's usually people like you that have the coolest interests. (I've learnt that from the select few friends I have ha ha)
      I personally have had 3 relationships where I've genuinely been good, and everytime it ends, it's because "they found someone else"
      Eitherway, if you wanna ever just talk, I'll be happy too help. And of course, wish the best of luck!

      I understand what you are trying to say. I feel the same way. I don’t want to listen to other people and I don’t want to love myself first. Honestly, I would rather love a guy first than myself - like putting myself first in things and all that… But now I come to realize it’s important to learn to love myself.
      I was in a relationship with a guy and everything was great, but I didn’t realize how much I started to try to enjoy the same things he does and literally just “imitate” him, in a way. I didn’t know how important it should have been to learn to care for myself as well.
      I had to move away 1 1/2 year later, and things between us got messy - I refused to have a long distance relationship. It would have been too hard for me. And so, as time passed by I started to understand that I rarely cared about how I felt. I never cared to put my mental health first. Instead, I cared about others first. I’m not going to lie, that hasn’t changed. But after a year, I learned how to balance those two things. Now, I’m just trying to focus on myself and school.

      ​@jessicaj9743With all respect to the God who created us physically and spiritually, why did he create us if he wanted us to be alone? According to your Bible, Adam and Eve were in a relationship, he created them to have children. Secondly, today there are different people and everyone wants to have someone by their side who can hug them and talk to someone, I don't know how God influences the person himself, I've never experienced it, to say I only want God, maybe you are misunderstanding it all and you need to find maybe people that God works through them, maybe it is that some have felt God's love, but so far I have only been through people 💁‍♀️ everyone needs passion, love, understanding to have real talk and not talking with myself I mean with GOD, I think human brains are soo much more than we are we don’t know what kind of tricks our brain play with us 💁‍♀️

    When I turned 35 I decided I was no longer going to chase love. I was always being rejected and I thought I was forcing it and that it was a waste of time, money and energy. I remained hopeful that not forcing it was the solution. It wasn't. I'm 48 now and I've never known love. Right now I'm getting used to the idea that I will never find someone, never have a family of my own and will die alone. I try to enjoy life on my own but it's hard sometimes, it doesn't get easier, at least not for me. I find it astounding how easy it is for so many people to find somebody, if it doesn't work out it's on to the next partner, just like that. It must feel great to be loved and wanted.

      My truth is as multiple times I've been rejected, ghosted and lied to by girls, no real good women ever existed, just the shallow, greedy, selfish ones. Most of my family has been in relationships and marriages, except me. I tried at the time to get to know girls, and all they do is lie again, ignore, reject and ghost me. That's why I always feel ugly, invisible and empty inside everyday, every week, every month and every year. All this is why I gave up because it's like pulling teeth.

    Ever see how it's always the ones in happy relationships that tell you that love will happen to you , and that you should love yourself first before finding someone to love you. Ironically most of them are average people with good luck, who didn't love themselves before meeting their partner. There is no recipe, no instructions, no manual to finding love. However these same people will pretend to know the "real " way to find love, which let's be honest here, isn't necessarily true.

    • @unicronprimus7450
      @unicronprimus7450 10 месяцев назад +7

      I agree with you. I have known someone who did not love themselves and was broken, yet they have met their partner. But you see, that is the thing. I am a Christian. I do actually believe that part of it is because finding love is a calling. A calling to commit and to test your patience (or teach a lesson to make you holy or a better person and for them, this is "joy"). You may term it like "good luck", but you see, I think the more righteous and not broken you are, the more likely you are already enough of your own. As a single man (who already experienced a 7-year long relationship), I think we just downplay our maximum capabilities that we could actually be single and happy enough of our own, that is why it pains a lot. I saw myself as someone who loves too much and becomes so toxic for my own good whenever I am in a relationship (hence it is why they always keep on saying love yourself first before committing). Perhaps I am going against the call. Furthermore, it is because those broken people would find their "wholeness" if they got to meet their partner (because having and being in a relationship would surely teach them a very very hard lesson, and this is coming from me who was broken when I have found my former girlfriend, and have also known former best friends who got married).

Go on dates to see if things will work out, keep trying trying trying. It’s been my life for 3 years. I don’t understand why people can just do nothing and love just appear? lol

      @ML-HS 4 месяца назад +9

      Exactly. I agree with you. Then there is judging. Judging for wanting love, saying friendship is love too(which I very much agree with) However, there is something that only romantic one can give. I have friends who got lucky and they claim relationships are not all that. They are hard work. You have to heal and then there are are handful of them who were a beautiful mess, someone took a look at and said I want that beautiful mess for me and through loving and supporting helped them blossom. Just gonna stop saying to anyone I want to have someone because it seems people are judging you. As if you are going to jump in the bed off the next person who shows interest.

    Question: why am I single?
    My answer:
    1. most of the people that I meet in real life are not single, especially the decent ones
    2. 80% of the attractive single men I met online or bars only care about sex, try to get you in bed on the first date, etc, which I find very disrespectful
    3. The rest of the 20% I might either not attracted to or I see red flags
    4. When I finally found someone who we are mutually interested in each other, I later on found out that they’re not available or they disappear all of a sudden. It feels like the universe is fucking with me.
    In conclusion: looking for the one is like looking for a needle in the middle of ocean.
    I have a very happy life and I love myself fully. I’m independent and am totally good being single. People told me that I’m an amazing person and don’t understand why I’m single. Well, I don’t understand either. The universe is finding all kinds of way to stop me from meeting someone.

      I agree. I'm alone, and am unloved, unlovable and undateable. I'm so tired of all this bullshit from healthy and good looking people that have been alone for a bit, but they always find someone in the end. I won't. I don't love myself. I have agonising depression and loving myself is not an option. I've tried and worked on myself for twenty years. I'm 41 now. I have HIV, bulimia, persistent depressive disorder, severe anxiety, PTSD, and unfixable dental problems from my bulimia which people find repulsive. I've been raped, beaten, bullied and abused. I have seen so much death, disease and trauma. have constant suicidal ideation, I live in poverty, and I have no pleasure from anything. All I want is to be held. It won't happen. People who say all this stuff about relationships don't know the half of it. They have so much going for them. Try being me for a day, and you wouldn't bother for a tomorrow.

    This is great advice. However, I do have to push back a little. I have no problem being single. Yet, I'm still lonely and want to have a partner to come home to. All my life, it's the thing I want most. All my relationships have brought me pain though so I don't know anymore. I'm still reeling from a pretty bad breakup. He was my best friend, with similar values and morals. He ended up hurting me anyway. I'm ok being single. Life keeps moving forward. I'm just sad nothing has worked out yet. And I miss my best friend.

      Have you maybe tried repairing the relationship? I know it takes time,courage and capacities but that is what makes things last. There will always be hurt and hurting that is life. Don't get me wrong I really do feel you,all of my relationships sank badly bc both of us were really immature. But there is a way if you're willing to see :). And this thing like u first need to love yourself is such a bullshit. Yes you can try your best , do your best around it but that's not where the real selflove is born, only developed according from what you've learned in your relationships. First relationship we have is with our parents ,what we've learned there is gonna stick around until we can again try and trust someone deeper and let them love us,that's where the narrative inside changes. That's how we learn to actually love ourselfs,by experiencing that love. We can't evoke it from the inside when we never actually felt it, we can do it when we learn. And we learn in relationships and carry it with us in every next one. You can meet yourself better,but that also has limits if you don't have any support or anyone to make a safe space for you. You can't all of a sudden love something you are hating all your life. Just saying

Not to mention everyone who has someone has not really truly love themselves in the first place, but they still find someone to love them for the way they are.

It's been years now,but the trauma still haunts me every now and then!!Because of my orientation,I even got physically assaulted and bullied a lot in my school!It just killed me from inside!There isn't even any support from my parents and friends! I have rarely a few people in my life who are also getting busy with their life with time!All these things have just made me so insecure that I am scared to talk to anybody!It breaks my heart when I see people around me getting somewhere in their life in terms of career or relationships!And there's me,who's been in this loop for so many years!!Thus,I always seeked validation from everywhere possible,I wanted somebody to love me unconditionally all in my life..I can say I've never ever experienced love from anyone till now!!Its gets even more worse since I am a bisexual person!!Thats an another battle to fight with myself!The people I have always found good or trusted,have always hurt me and left me making me feel empty!I have had multiple counselling sessions but yk,its just so tiring!!The feeling of being alone at the end is hard!

    I'm only 18 and I have this inexplicable sense of I don't know what. In my former high school career, my friends would always talk about wanting to go on dates, hold hands, make out, and have flirty moments with guys. They geek over hot guys at the beach and actors. I do too, sure, but I don't want that. I want a dad bod, a nerd, a husband. I want someone I can take care of and love more than I want to be loved. And when it comes to wanting to be loved, I want him to brush my hair, count my freckles, be the father to my children, and protect me wether from spiders or just by standing by me at the gas station watching the meter tick. I want a soulmate, someone to be my companion through life. Someone to know me like I know them. There's nothing wrong with me; my brutally honest friends have said they don't understand why nobody else is close to me. We've had hour-long talks about it.
    I'm getting carried away. I just want to say I want the love that nobody around me seems to be capable of giving.

Never was first option to hangout without a reason. Sometimes I think to myself if love is even real or its just a mix of responsibility and attraction.

It's a feeling of joy, I was so happy to see him and it felt so warm when he hugged me. It's a strong feeling, you feel just so happy. But life is not a romance. Be a little bit more confident, just be yourself. When you' re not the first option, than make you the first option. Center your friends around you, and kick the ones out who are not caring, they don' t deserve to be called friends. Be the person you want to be for yourself.

A pain and a loneliness (the kind familial and platonic relationships can't fill) that just grows with time, with jumps every time I let myself get my hopes up only for them to get stomped right back into the dirt. It really feels like the main thing holding me back is that no one is interested in me and I don't know how to meet people outside of dating apps (and even then I always get ghosted). I try, I've tried, but it just feels impossible. Being single may be okay for some, but when you want to know what it's like to be in a relationship, when you're sick and tired of it, it's fucking suffocating.

    Thanks for this message, brother. I'm turning 40 in a couple of weeks. While I've had a few long-term relationships and I've dated my fair share of women, I've never been married. I got out of my most recent relationship a year ago. I've chosen to be single to find myself again. I haven't dated since we broke up. That said, my age has me so worried that time is passing me by - that I'm missing my chance to find someone, or even that it's already too late. The anxiety and pressure I've felt about this over the last year has taken me to extremely low places. But it is getting easier. I'm starting to feel like me again. I'm starting to enjoy my own company and I'm enjoying rediscovering who I am and who I want to be. Your last few words ring loud for me. I only hope that by continuing to make myself a better man, the right woman will finally present herself. It's all about patience.

    The thing is im a guy, im 19 yrs old, im becoming more and more well versed in the stoic philosophy, im an extrovert, sociable nice person. And i havent been in 1 single relationship. Im not affraid to get hurt by heartbreak, it cant be worse than the pain of never having experienced love romantic wise. They always say focus on yourself and love will come to you, i only once chased love. The rest of the time i focused on myself, but still nothing has come across my path. And tbh im getting tired of waiting...

    I'm not in a relationship at the moment because I recently (3 months ago today) was broken up with and I need to work on myself, I need to get over her before I go into another relationship or else all I'd be doing is hurting them... I put everything I had into that relationship because it made me truly happy. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't unhappy beforehand, but I've never felt that happy. Everything just felt right when I was with her and we had a lot of fun together.
    This is my first breakup, and although it didn't last long. Me and her were best friends before we dated and knew each other for years, we didn't breakup because we stopped loving each other or anything like that... but we broke up because we had the worst timing. We were both transitioning to university, and with everything going on her life and in her head, and from her past. She got scared, overwhelmed, and felt like she couldn't be in a relationship anymore and despite loving me, caring about me, and saying that I am important to her and worth fighting for, she just can't because she is worried that if she pushes herself to be strong. She may end up pushing me away even more and being unhappy, so she would prefer to stay friends and work things out by herself, and doesn't know if she could return to me.
    Admittedly, I'm getting mixed signals from her. However, we haven't talked in almost 2 months now. Last we talked, she showed she cared about me and valued me, showed me sympathy and compassion, and reassured me that we'd stay friends. But, after her birthday party (which I was not invited to) and where a mutual friend brought up the topic of me and apparently she only said positive things about me and said it was truly because she was overwhelmed, but since then she has been ghosting me, I've sent her a couple messages but she never even opened them. However, we're still following each other everywhere, and if I upload something on Instagram, she will always view it, sometimes immediately. and she has been listening to breakup songs, or songs about the complexities of relationships and things like that. So I think she is hurting as well...
    I value her friendship so much, so even if we can't return to the relationship, I want to stay her friend. I admitted regret telling her my feelings, despite it bringing me some of my favourite memories. It wasn't worth losing that friendship over.

    This truly resonated with me. I've always had the preconceived idea that it's impossible to be in a relationship with someone so similar to yourself. Writing this now makes me question why I ever thought that. I think I've always known that I need to be with someone who will allow me to be myself, but someone who shares the same hobbies, passions and values as myself. But now I need to accept the fact that finding 'my person' is going to take time, and isn't something you can seek out in the desperation not to be lonely. You have to love yourself before you can love someone else.

    My first relationship was me just trying to be in one and that totally didn't work for me at all... Now after many crushes later I think I found the person I want to spend the rest of my life with! The scariest and most exhilarating feeling ever in my opinion. Plus this person came at a point in my life were I was feeling super shitty about myself and wasn't open for the love he wanted to give me. BUT I decided for myself (and a little for him if I'm being honest) that I would start to heal through therapy and THAT changed everything. So ya when he came into my life he changed it but it was my work on myself that really changed everything and made me more comfortable being in a relationship. I was ready and open to not only loving myself but accepting the love from someone else!

    I am alone without a relationship to a partner for 25 years now. Believe me, I am good looking, nice and friendly.
    People, especially so called psychologists (I love those people truly, ha, ha) tell me always, if it is not God's plan, you will stay alone and other stuff like love yourself and others will love you too someday and all this soul calming stupid stuff, you won't hear and listen to anymore.
    In fact, no woman has touched my body for 20 years now and going...them tell me, oh there are a lot of others, that don't have physical contact too.
    What is this, they are telling me? Is it only told to me to calm me? I tell you my true opinion about living alone without sex, a partner being loved by a woman and all this: I'd rather be dead today, then knowing, no one will ever kiss me again and say, I LIKE you (not even talking about saying the words "I love you").
    I am sure, my life will end someday with a physical disease or an injury or anything else like everyone's life also. I am working at the moment on starting smoking cigarettes again to make this moment of a coming disease a little bit faster. Cause I don't wanna be lonely for the next 30 years and running. This is really not my goal.
    I tell you now my really deep thoughts and opinion about living your whole life without a partner: IT IS NOT WORTHY (this is only MY opinion).
    F... k you, if you want to tell me now: No one will be alone for the rest of his life and good friends are also as good as a partner. YOU LIE!!! IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT.

    It recently happened AGAIN. I swear its happened at least 7+ times. I've even lost track about how often its happened throughout the years.

    I want to find a life partner. A husband, lover and a friend, and the father of our children.
    I'm single once again because finding someone who wants this is surprisingly difficult. Yes they exist, but FINDING them is difficult. Love is hard work, and it is soul crushing when you time after time put in the time and effort, just to realise you wasted them on the wrong person. And unlike men I have a limited time to have children, so every mistake is more painful to me.
    I wanted to try and find someone without dating apps, but talking to guys it seems like todays society has made them scared to walk up to women and ask them out, which i totally understand. But that means realistically the only ways to meet someone is either through knowing someone or dating apps. I dont think i know enough people to be introduced to anyone...

The problem is that I don't dare to take the step because I have lost confidence a bit, am afraid that things will go wrong again, and the rejections you get when you ask a woman to have a cup of coffee do not help. So I bought a motorcycle so that I can enjoy something and not have to think about things like that..........................maybe I shouldn't take the step to ask?

    I enjoy being on my own, but I think any people who are good at being with their own thoughts, very in tune with their emotions and very creative, you have these moments where it feels like the world is ending and you are too far gone down the wrong path.
    Today amidst sickness I was having one of those moments and this video helped calm me down.
    To anyone else in my situation, I am sending you love, as well as the promise that like anything else in life, regardless of how it pans out, you will be okay. The chances of you being born on this planet at this time the way that you are is an absurd statistic, in comparison, finding a partner is trivial, you have beaten crazier odds before.

I’ve been this way since I was very very young and I always knew that I just needed to find the right person for myself. I have had 2 heartbreaks and I haven’t found my person yet (I’m still pretty young) and although part of me is scared that I’ll never find „that one person“ I won’t give up. Even if I wanted to, I think I simply couldn’t. Because I just know that in this life I’m meant to be in a romantic healthy loving relationship. I literally think about it every day and I think if you feel the same, like you know what is meant for you, it will find you. No matter what - so don’t give up❤

    Yes! All those are correct to that one million dollar question. Being a 37yr old looser guy i can totally relate to that question. I I stopped myself going to any relationship. I think my faults, my failures and my mind stopped me to approach any women. Unfortunately, I like two girls in my life and to both I have never expressed my feelings that are still there and it's giving the pain like nothing else. It is also true I was and I am still searching for the love in people, animsls, nature. But, noone gave it back. No one I mean noone give me back. The story ends here.....!!

    I've been single my entire life. I'm 25 this year. The thoughts of finding love and having a companion have gotten louder as I've gotten older. I value the time I have to myself being single, but it's hard some days. Some days are incredibly lonelier than others. You realize that there's a longing within you, and that void cannot be filled by the people around you.

    Ive been searching since kindergaden for "what i love to do". Or what i want to be. It doesnt exist. I dont know where to direct my energy and focus. Every hobby becomes hollow. Every career choice feels draining. Nothing is quite "it". When i found my psrtner i found someone to love and work for and give to. After 8 years, it just ended and im back where i started, but alot older.

    If you guys left your emails here and cobtacted each other it would be better. At least you are all honestly looking for love. You are here watching this and probably 50% are in the same country or countries that belong to the same state or union.

    I have been involved with a female ghost for about 5 years now. She told me her name where she was born and where and how she died. When she appears you would not know the difference from an alive person.

    I only experienced the feeling of true love one time, but it wasn't meant to be. The euphoria feeling while I was in love felt amazing, but when it changed, it was unbearable. I made the decision never to go through it again, so 20 years on I've remained single. True love is amazing. If you find it, hold on to it and work things out. Sometimes, I wish I did.

    Why am i single: because
    5) The person i love doesnt love me back, and i got this feeling for only one person in my entire existence.

    I just dont know what loving myself feels like. Im always hard on myself and therapists only listen to you, but never help.
    I dont know what it feels like. Ive never felt love like I feel as if I should. Ive dated in long distance relationships, but honestly, I want a real life relationship. I want to feel someone hug me. Tell me I'm okay.
    I've never even had friends. I dont know what its like to have friends that care about you. Its led me down a bad path in life.
    I feel hopeless and every moment of my day is consumed by OCD and watching these videos, trying to convince myself its okay. I cant stop worrying over this. Its been years, and I'm only 21. I feel like I'm 40 though. If I have to live the next 60 or so years of my life like this... I dont want to live it
