I'm getting cynical about relationships,

Post Reply New Topic

I used to be a hopeless romantic. But the more I look at relationships, the more I think it's about sex.
My favorite part about relationships is this. Many women seem to go for jerks, and then claim they want a nice guy. All those people who beat their wives, cheat on their partners, and abuse their significant other in a myriad of ways, get much further than I ever will.
Infatuation so easily confused with love...
Friggin over half the people in America end up getting divorced. What the hell!
Another thing that pisses me off is how the world is in a sex frenzy. I mean, I'm not a prude, but it's ridiculous, it's been cheapened.

Sometimes relationships are like fantasy. But there's a funny thing about fantasy. It's not real.
You can fall in love with the idea of being in love. That happened to me...
I've been thinking about myself too. I feel like I can't connect with people...
Love...it happens once in a while, but for every truly happy relationship, how many die alone? How many stay in relationships for the wrong reasons? How many people are taken advantage of? How many people are abused?

I dunno

I'm sleepy and frustrated

I feel like, for whatever short lived happiness I can find in life, I'll never be fulfilled.

I guess I'm just being an angsty teen, but noone can deny the truth in what I say.

In the end it's just venting. Because the point is , I'm still going to exercise and practice music regularly. I'm still going to do well in school. And I'll focus there, because it's more productive.

What will it matter though? Adult life will just be worse.

But again, that type of thinking won't help.

There will always be one passion in my life...
Phish...take me away.

It's the shallow people and the people who just go out with the first person who shows them any sort of attention, that irritate me the most.

I truly believe "like attracts like" that if you treat yourself with respect, and do the things you love to do, and connect with yourself...something akin to a light will shine out from you/your soul, if you need a name for it....and you'll attract someone like you, to you---you know, someone truly compatible?
Tough part is waiting, and not dating someone just because you don't want to be alone. Try not to do that. Try not to settle for less than who you are looking for, and even sit down and make a list of all of the attributes this imaginary mate should have...
Also, if you are busy loving yourself, and doing the things that make you happy, you won't mind waiting...you may even forget you're waiting~
Don't look for fulfillment in another human being, you have to find it inside yourself. You want this future person to find you when you have your sh*t together, right?

Yeah,

they are difficult.

Still trying to figure them out and I am 39 . Have not had one for years now because of being in Iraq. Need to learn the dating game (and it is a game) all over again when I finally come home.

First post on here in months. This place became too depressing for me.
