Feeling down about being single
Hello everyone. I thought I'd share my problem here today.
I'm only 17, but I've been single my entire life and thathas really been bringing me down. There isn't a day that goes by without me thinking about it and it's been almost 3 years. I constantly ask myself, "What's wrong with me?", "Why makes me seem undesirable?" and "Am I going to be single forever?"
It's been a painful experiencewatching the people around me seem to be able to get dates and girlfriends with ease, and even many people much younger than mefinding success too. I don't really understand why I am so overlooked and notappreciated by girls...I don't consider myself to be ugly, mean, or unintelligent. It must be because my personality is dull. I consider myself to be a shy, more quiet person and that must be seen as undesirable by girls. Whatever it is, no girl likes me.
It's hard for me to talk about this to people because I feel like nobody else understands. I feel weak for feeling so strongly about love. I'm just so disappointed with high school and how unloved I feel. I expected more out of myself than this. I'm finding it hard to cope. "Just be patient" isn't doing it for me. The thought of being single my entire four years of high school makes me want to cry.
I wanted to share ablog post that I wrote about love, my ideals, and my feelings about a relationship that I'd like to have, but I wasn't sure if I was allowed to post a link toit on here.
Thank you for taking the time to read this forum post and any comments that you have. I greatly appreciate it.
There should be no shame in being single. Every person progresses at their own speed and it shouldnt be seen as out of the norm if you do not hav a relationship. Look ofr someone who is good for you and worth it. Dont settle for someone just to say youre taken. Youre worth more =)
Hey.. There's absolutely no reason to pity yourself. Being Single means that you are capable enough to take care of yourself without needing the assistance of your partner. Plus it gives you the option of meeting new people and socialising with different mindsets. Flaunt your singleton status with pride ! Unfortunately, We live in a world where our passwords are strong but we aren't.Trust me.What makes all the difference is whether you put the 'but' after or before the 'I love you'
Take Care..
Cheers !
Well, it seems typical, almost a reflex for people to tell you "Oh you have time" "Oh, you're still young" "You'll find someone" "That person is out there".... and none of these things help. I've always been one to be wholeheartedly, brutally honest, and to be frank, we don't know how much time is given to us and what our future holds. Anything can happen. Besides who wants to be 30, 40, 50 years old and still single. That's heart breaking, discouraging and down right painful to think about. And I know the feeling, because I'm 20 years old and still single. All my friends have relationships. And this is painful because I get tired of feeling like everyone is moving forward, moving in the right direction in life and I'm not. All my friends have gotten that chance to experiencereal relationships and heartbreak, and knowing that I have never been asked to prom, on a date, nothing makes me feel like I will never get that chance. And no I'm a really pretty girl, with an awesome personality. I've talked to guys before, had some even ask me why I'm still single?!! Yet, they walk away leaving me single. I just don't get it. And it's upsetting because I see my friends talking about their futures with their boyfriends, and here I am 20 and petting my dog... I know I'm young! And I love being young, but this is the age most people start relationships and by the time they are 30-40 years old they have careers, kids, and all that jazz. Yet, I haven't even experienced not one single relationship mile stone yet and that makes me feel abnormal. So, how do you really explain why the majority of us are still single and feeling left out...
Truer words are often spoken..
i wish nothing but the best for you
