Love doesn't exist for me

Yeah I definitely don't think it's a fix as much as I am bothered that it's a popular sentiment that being alone is not acceptable and a reason to be sad. Kinda expressed what I meant in another comment here. But I agree and don't expect anyone to be happy just because they are in a relationship, it's more that people that are in one tell others to not care that they can't.

For example, you said it makes literally nothing better yet you struggle to try to stay in it. Being alone might be easier but is it better? Because never did I say relationships make life easier. Never having a break up is easier, never losing a loved one is easier, never being vulnerable to make friends is easier, not putting the effort is always easier. But in the end things that hurt and we that we care about are difficult because they matter and have meaning for us.

If easier was just better than all the people depressed, that can barely be bothered to do the simplest things because nothing has a meaning anymore and it's too tiring to try, I guess we are the most gifted with an easy life.
