How much anxiety is it normal to have about being single? I

I've been in enough terrible relationships that I just don't want anything to do with them anymore. I'm pretty happy being single. But before I ever dated anyone I felt lonely all the time. It's normal.

So getting into an awful relationship works as some sort of a vaccine?

How bad does it have to get? I've spent a good chunk of time in an unhappy relationship, and I still want a new one. I don't know what it'd take to convince myself they'll all be that bad.

>aren't human beings pack animals?

no, actually.

??????

Then how do we live in such close proximities without killing each other for space and resources?

A self aware conscious brain

Squids are self-aware too. But unlike humans, they are not pack animals.

You ever seen squids working together to build cities?

>>16812536
I dunno man, maybe because they live in the fucking ocean? I bet you realize squids pay with cash too right

Anyway the bottom line is that I am cutting myself to get down from anxiety peaks that I get into because I have nobody to stroke my back, and that's probably not normal or healthy.
