Do you think that youre eventually going to be in a relationship, so you keep grinding on your goals, and not worry about it? It's hard for me to have confidence that something is going to inevitably pop off, when it hasn't happened yet. Apparently theirs someone for everyone, but also, no one owes you a relationship. So what's the real truth here?
Are people actually being honest when they say this? You don't care if the person is morbidly obese, skinny, has buck teeth, swollen eyes, yellow teeth, extroverted or introverted, etc? They say that attraction grows, but theirs still a base level of attraction, right?
This situation is mostly for men, I assume, but is there a point where you ask who's paying next? I would find it annoying to have to ask, if not already offered. It should be natural.
You meet someone at work, you hit it off, hang out a few times, switch jobs, and then the friendship dies out. That's basically how modern friendships go. You get hit with reasonable, but lazy excuses: their focusing on their career, family, or mental stability. I say lazy because that doesn't excuse an intentional lack of effort. I'm getting really tired of the digital elements too. You just talk online and thats it. Rather not even start another friendship.
Dont get me wrong, I would prefer to have a few people I associate with, but it's so much better when you keep to yourself. I hate that I used to beg for attention and time from people that didn't prioritize me, but thats over now. I'd rather have a dead phone, then messages of unseen or read texts that go no where. I'd rather move in the shadows, then approach people that are going to ignore me. I wish life was a bit easier, but im not forcing myself to socialize with people that dont care about me. I also just started to dislike the human race in general; other animals and creatures are more pleasant to be around.
I'm about to try and take a nap before my shift starts in a crowded mall, but I can already tell what's going to happen. A bunch of people having fun with their best friends, a few people making out, and people just generally socializing. Its not something I enjoy being apart of, but I can see the appeal. I'm by myself every single day, so ive gotten used to the quiet atmosphere; I just wish I had someone like that, going on in my life. Its not exciting or fulfilling.
I'm just really tired of sending messages to my supposed friends, or people I'm romantically interested in, and pretty much getting left on read all day. I dont expect immediate responses, but its clear I'm not a priority. I'm used to just seeing notifications for bills or updates, so I guess that's all I can expect.
