Is wanting to be in a relationship a form of weakness? I can only say this cause' I am 24 and have slept with 11 people responsibly (I've been attached to all of them in some way or another) and have been in a relationship with like 4 of them. I've seen people post on here about how it physically pains them to not have someone to love but I am at the point where I see it as a weakness, that you can't be alone and stoic in the face of carnal desire. Is it a weakness?
What do you expect ? Should I put up together a list of 100 random rules and claim that rule 48 is that wanting a relationship is a weakness ?
How can you be so naive ? How can you take random blokes on the internet so seriously ?
>inb4 you'll probably get mixed answers, "no" coming from reasonable people and "yes" coming from chads and alike.

Are you drunk? I get the greentext but what? I want opinions not some unspoken convention you literal sperg, fuck.
It is if we're talking about codependency. I have around the same number of confirmed kills as you but I have a hard time putting up with their bs. It's the same as money desu. Once you've gotten what you've longed for you just want something else afterwards. Too many Bros putting women on pedestals.

I totally feel this in a sense, like you'll get complacent is the issue. You learn all their nuances and minor quirks & quips then eventually get bored in the norm of it all; lusting after the next best think. Much like money, yes; You can earn so much and then need more for something bigger. But then I have had girls who I would go back to for a while or even consider being with because they tick so many boxes. Like I am at the point where I am so happy and feel strong for being alone (not fapping to excess to delude my expectations or cessate some urge) but I live in a place where everyone wants you to be in a relationship and procreate. But yeah it goes back to not wanting to tolerate the bs... I just want some opinions...

Although I've never been in a real relationship ( only ons) I see myself wanting one because I'd like having someone to wake up to and to love. From what I heard, you learn alot about yourself through romantic relationships, more so than any other form.
That being said I feel slight contempt for people who need a relationship in order to function and in fear of confronting one's self. My ex-roommate comes to mind. I've never seen her spend a night alone and now that she has a boyfriend he's at her place every day of the week. There's something so attractive about the autonomy of cat-like people.

I have no problem attracting women at first but when she happens to have a personality I admire and would like to "copy" I can't help but glorify her and put her on a pedestal. It's ruining my chances with great girls cause they always freak out how strong I'm coming off. How do I not do this anymore?

Nice, my man. Tell me your secrets

Only once (was that a typo?)? Yeah for me it's similar; you know it would be nice to cook for someone and groom to be well presented for them but the >secrets are doing these things for yourself. To bring up the most overused cliche trope 'you have to learn to love yourself before you love other people' but truthfully it's only possible for me to do so having been with some people and having been a part of their 'world' fully. I have lived so many shades and learnt empathy by seeing the absolutes of these worlds. Find a fuck buddy anon and learn her, get attached but don't hang on her . Also your whole copying point is near suicidal and yes it is definitely ruining your chances. You have to learn yourself and florish from within, the issue is this doesn't happen for some people until they saturate themselves with the affairs of others; maybe what you are doing is a step in the right direction but objectify it and be rational; you will never be someone else and you can only be yourself.

my greentext didn't work, that's embarrassing sage

It's a catch22. How can you love yourself when the people you (want to) love won't love you?
I'm just experiencing the worst heartache I've ever had because of a girl I "dated". She had a narcisstic and cold personality but she was in many ways one of the most fascinating person I've met in real life. People like her just have that magical "thing" and I have a hard time not admiring such personalities and standing up for myself when I have no problems not letting people walk over me otherwise. Of course no one could love a doormat. But how could you be in a relationship with someone you didn't admire and think greatly of, let alone love? Wouldn't that just be too coward to face loneliness? I have the feeling only people who could love anyone could love me :(

Being lonely hurts more for some people than for others. People need different things.
Talking about it in terms of "weakness" isn't gonna lead you to any accurate conclusions.
I'm going to bed I will check it in 10 hours if it's up.
