im in a similar situation, i feel like i have extremely high standards that nobody will ever meet, and at the same time they are on the floor. no clue on how to get into a relationship or start dating

I’m not a woman or anything but I felt those words deep down. I just try not to cry about the empty void🫠🫠

And it’s like a weird transition, like we’re all 21 now so it kinda went from just hearing about their bfs all the time to them talking about plans of getting engaged and having kids. I’m not bitter but I can’t help but feel like I’m behind in life…and is it bad that I don’t wanna constantly hear about how good their bfs treat them bc I don’t have that?

That’s exactly how I feel 😩😩and it’s like, yes I’d like to have a bf but I’m also content not having one, it’s just the feeling of all my friends having one that makes me feel lonely

no literally it would be so difficult to find one because i really love being alone and i don’t see how i would let someone into my space (i assume uou probably feel the same way) but then i also would love to fall asleep next to someone

Don’t think like that. Not good for the brain. Negative thinking changes the chemicals in your body. I would at least mention it. Just a little poke imo

Comparison is the thief of joy they say. It’s good to compete for things but everyone has a different path in life
