Why the anguish to be in a relationship?

>>18649196
I think its because people don't know what a relationships like.
Once I got a relationship the feeling changed. It wasn't something I "needed", it was just something different that could be good.

I was happy single after that relationship ended because I realised that I legitimately just had to wait until I found someone I could mesh well with instead of forcing it.

Really its harmless and formulative, its the weird clingy folk who just can't be alone that are troublesome.

Thank You For Your Response

The world sells this obsession... Every hero has a lady, every lady finds her white knight... stuff thrown in massive amounts to young people.

It's also relevant in a behavioural analisys... Our minds evolved so fast in the last 500 years, while our bodies can't keep up.
We still have some body responses similar to animals, and that includes our brain and hormones. What I'm saying is that the cave man that held a woman would have more chances to survive and thrive, while the 'beta' male would never mate, and run high risk of death. This leads us to associate having a girlfriend to surviving and thriving.

It's not just that, I'm adding on.

Call me old-fashioned, but I'd rather not go through the motions of the dating scene (ew yuck) and rather wait for 'that one special person' with whom to share a relationship (ideally long-term). ATM I'm happy enough with a few close friends.
