I swear off love. Have I said that before? This time I mean it. I can't be bothered with all the stupid social nuances. I've had enough.

My goal is now to make myself a nice little niche to feel comfortable in. To make time for my friends and family and not to stress over anything remotely like a love life. I think I'll be happier for it in the long run.

Love is something that you never want to chase.

Best thing is to disguise yourself as a shrubbery and let it find you.

I did that when I was 18-19 years old...

Best. Decision. Ever.

Yep.
If you're done, then flip it over to the other side.

Love doesn't have to be defined by the objectification or obsession of one person, you can have universal love. I think selfless love and having a good awareness of morality or karma is the highest form of love.

I'm lying. I don't want to be alone, but no one ever likes me. I'm fed up.

I am familiar with the feeling. As are many here.

When you say people don't like you, are you sure that is how they feel?

I tend to over think and analyse things others have said to me, whereas most of the time I have no clue what I'm saying because I'm babbling.
We tend to dwell within our own minds more than NTs, I think it's something that has a large effect on our communicative abilities.

Feel better soon.

I think it's a good idea not to actively seek love.

After I stopped actively seeking it, love started coming to me.

That has never worked for me. I'm now t exactly pro-active about other. I'm too shy. I thinks that's probably my biggest problem. Who wants a partner who never talks? I would if they'd at least get the conversation going. But no one makes that effort for me. I'm just not good enough and I never will be.

Does that make sense though, especially if you aren't mixing with new people in you day to day life?

I mean you have to at least not be complacent (like me).

Bu then again I hardly feel like the OP, and perhaps feel I should a little. It seem to be a biological motor.

Give yourself a big slap across the face, take a shot then run up and down the stairs.

I bet you feel better about things now.

It's better to be alone that to be in a shite relationship. Stop being so hard on yourself.

I would never give up on the IDEA of love.

It's more like I would put it on the "back burner," like other posters are saying.
