Why is the life ruining lie of “you should just wait” so popular among people who have never struggled with loneliness?

It seems like you have misdirected anger. Saying “just wait” isn’t saying “you’re never going to be loved”. It simply means to not rush, to not panic. Most people who say “just wait” HAVE waited. They’ve suffered and struggled too. If you’re in such desperation to find love, that can lead to you accepting anything that comes your way, which is dangerous.

I mean isn’t waiting for the right person good advice? And why you do assume the person who says this has never been lonely? Pretty much every single person has been lonely before.

There is no “right person” there still should be help for being able to find the “right person” You telling someone to simply not worry about literally everyone around them (mind you people who did NOT “just wait” is such a disgusting lie to tell someone suffering from loneliness that’s it’s beyond gross and ignorant to what people are struggling with it’s baffling how you say such a disgusting lie with so much confidence)

I don’t think you are understanding what the advice means. When I get told “don’t worry about people around you” it’s because comparisons to others is a detriment to yourself. It harms you. I don’t see why it’s a “disgusting lie.”

You think that people who are telling you to wait have never been single? You know the vast majority of people have been single right? If I say I want a boyfriend and my mom says “you’ll meet the right guy” that doesn’t mean that I suddenly ignore her words because she’s married to my dad. I know waiting to find someone is hard but it’s much better than forcing it.

Because it wastes time in life. What is me moving forward saying “man I really got it all wrong, me just not giving a fuck about finding someone was really just internal, why don’t I just move forward with life and never care???” The reason why it’s a disgusting lie is because it’s not an actual piece of advice, it’s from someone who has found love telling you “you’re never going to be loved. Grow up and deal with it.” That’s why they never give you actual advice.

I don’t think it wastes time in life. I could just have a different perspective on this than you do but I’ve been given that advice from both single and not single people before. It’s not saying you aren’t going to be loved. Like at all. I truly don’t even see where you are coming from this. Again it’s probably your perspective versus mine in this case.

Why is it always this disillusioned viewpoint??? Why can’t there ever be a point where people say “hey maybe you can try this to find someone?” Why is it ALWAYS “ykw, people who are getting married all around you and making you watch the world pass you” are somehow in your same position? Because they aren’t. They know that saying is a lie. They say it to tell you to accept you’re never going to be loved. Deal with it.

There’s no benefit to saying “just wait.” It’s a lie, because it’s not what your intention is. You don’t actually care about the person you tell that to, you’re actually telling them that they won’t find anyone, and they should accept that and shut up.

Imagine the first statement actually happening. How do you “put yourself out there???” Like do you just show up at places and stand there, hoping that People say “hey what’s up?” That isn’t what actually happens. But even you saying that shit to someone opens a fucking avenue to more shit than the lie of just “meh someone will show up lmfao” Like why does this lie exist???

No one’s saying to just do nothing. It means to not rush into anything head-first. If you’re asking how to find love, it means you’re desperate to do so. ‘Just wait’ is a logical thing to say. What else are you going to do? Force it? Force someone to love you? If you want step by step advice then SAY THAT. To assume that people who say to just wait have ill intentions is insane. You’re twisting the saying into something completely because you’re bitter, which is fine. But you’re being illogical.

putting yourself out there means being social and going to events where you will meet new people around your age. it means talking to the people you meet there and making an effort to connect with them. or getting on dating apps if that’s your vibe. obviously someone will not just poof and appear into your life, you need to create situations where it is possible to meet people and put effort into your relationships.

What the fuck are you talking about. Why do you assume people are so deranged they’re going to RUSH into forcing someone into a relationship. Do you think ANYONE seeking a healthy balance of a loving relationship would do that??? It’s not a logical thing to say, because there’s other ways to say “hey Ykw, we met like this. Maybe you can find someone a similar way because this is how we met” Not some dumbass take like “ahhh just wait someone will show up randomly” Like it’s so fucking dumb

You do realize when people ask for advice, they’re actually asking for advice. They’re not asking for some mythological advanced source of knowledge that you’re supposed to ponder over and figure out on your own because of how intuitive your statement is. They’re being literal. It’s actually asking for advice So when it’s a literal response to what you literally said, why are you acting like that’s not an appropriate response?

So to categorize everyone who’s said “just wait” as advice as someone who’s lying to you is fine? That’s what’s insane. If that advice doesn’t work for you, cool. But it worked for me. My boyfriend literally just showed up. I wasn’t looking, I wasn’t seeking. He came up to me, we exchanged numbers, the rest is history. So how is me telling you to “just wait” lying, if that’s the same exact thing that I did? If you seen that advice doesn’t work for you, THEN GO OUT AND SEARCH FOR A MAN?

because that is the advice you give when someone is already doing everything right and still hasn’t found success. all you can tell them to do is wait because there’s no more advice to give. if you’re being social, meeting new people, on the dating apps, your personality is good, etc. then it is only a matter of TIME. which is why they say wait. because there’s no more advice to give if you’re already doing all the right things to improve your chances

So you want people to give a whole playbook as to why YOU’RE not able to date? How the fuck would anyone be able to tell you that? Only YOU would know. Do some self reflecting. That’s the reason why you should JUST WAIT. You’re expecting other people to give you all the answers when you should seek them yourself. Maybe then you’d be able to find someone.

Do you really think pointing out one lie is me saying everything else is lies? Of course not I’m not a fucking idiot. The “just wait” lie is an actual plague and me actually bringing it up is because I’m frustrated with always hearing it What’s annoying is you somehow thinking I blamed OTHER people for it when THAT lie alone is what makes me angry. It literally isn’t anyone’s fault, not even the people who told me that lie to begin with. I’m just frustrated with it to begin with.

And that’s why you’re lonely. That’s why you can’t and WON’T find someone. You can’t take accountability, you refuse to take the answers to the questions that YOU asked because you don’t like the answers. You insult and curse out strangers when they haven’t done it to you. You fail to understand your aggressiveness and hostility. And then, in the same breath, you wonder why people won’t date you? The joke writes itself, seriously.
