My pathetic whining about how I want a relationship

[Thumpalumpacus]

Oh my god, talking to people is just tiring.

Then why do you want a relationship? Making a real relationship work takes a lot of talking.

Just abuse me as much as possible with your words, I don't care. You have no idea how frustrating it is to get along with people, it's like the number one fucking difficulty in my life, besides giving a fuck about school work.

<looks at thread title> Nope, I'm not getting it.

I just wish I didn't have to feel like life is so fucking difficult, I feel like my anxiety would mostly go away.

It could, young man, if only you'd loosen your embrace. Lighten up. The world won't end if you don't have a relationship. Take care of Maslow's pyramid, stop worrying about how you come across to others. Be yourself, and do things you like to do. You will at that point meet people who have at least one thing in common with you, though they may or may not like you. All you're doing is evening the odds, okay? Understand that you won't like everyone you meet, and not everyone will like you, and that's okay. There's no law saying people have to like you, no law saying you have to like them, and no way you will ever find happiness so long as you're so goddamned afraid. You will get hurt. You will get pissed. You will get happy, too.

Let go of your fears and anxieties. Be considerate of your fellow human. Speak the truth as you sense it, while at the same time remembering that your truth can hurt other people. Should probably avoid wearing trenchcoats or sunglasses at night (not that you do, just covering all the bases).

Brooding loners don't get laid, but social skills can be learnt. Do you want to learn, or do you want to wallow? I don't often agree with him, but KUSA is right; it's not hard to find yourself in a relationship. You have to put yourself in a position where your good qualities shine, and where the people with whom you wish relations are present. And you have to be unafraid.
