I think sometimes relationships are like jobs - designed to deliver to you, in spades, pain, misery and suffering. Why bother?


Because the times when they work well make it worth it. No one escapes suffering so you might
as well keep trying for the relationship/anything else you really want so you get something good in your life as well. Also, the more experience of relationships you have the better you get at determining the good from the bad ie all experience is good experience in this respect as it's a learning curve.

That post is not describing loneliness. It's describing pessimism.

Some would say realism.
Kind of unrealistic to think that its not going to be an uphill battle for most of us to have anything resembling what most people take for granted socially and romantically.


Life is an uphill battle for everyone in my opinion, just for differing reasons.
