🍢 Why i think Relationships are overrated

To begin this please know that this is not coming from a person who has been single their entire life and has lost hope in love.

Despite the fact that I have given up on love since the concept of love is a con,

The best interpretation is when someone is "in love" with you, but two months later, you're throwing up and deleting all of your photos together.

The word "love" is frighteningly overused in this horribly screwed up generation, and half of the people who use it don't really mean it.

When you have a crush on someone, you gradually become obssesed with the idea that they will feel the same way. If they do, things usually progress to talking and then dating. Do you really love them if you say that, though? Do you genuinely like someone for who they are, or are you just crushing on them because you like their humour, appearance, or body?

You're so hopeless romantic that you would not let them go because this is the very first time anyone has ever admitted they like you back, so you just cannot leave them as "being in a relationship is better than being single," but honestly, is it really accurate? You gaslight yourself into thinking you love them because you're finally dating the person you once had a crush on.

Why are relationships treated so highly? In this generation, the idea of love is so unhealthy that being single or "bitchless/hoeless" eventually means you're unattractive or that nobody wants you, which can often lead to self-hatred and self-sabotage even if they're single by choice. There's really no explanation for this, at least none that I can think of.

Due to the well-known "hookup culture" and the expressions "I never truly loved you/I was using you," it is extremely difficult to find "genuine love" in the world we currently live in.

I'm trying to convey that one does not have to be in a relationship to be happy, feel validated, or loved. Although it is comforting to know that eventually someone will truly love you for who you are and that you are not need to grovel for it.
