I've never been a relationship of any kind, I have have no inherit desire for one. I'm usually unhappy and wouldn't want to burden anyone with my issues on top of theirs, and vise versa. I also would never want to expose so much of myself emotionally to someone else. Everyone around me is expecting me to find a girlfriend when in all reality I just don't want one. I also don't want to disappoint anyone either. Nobody wants to potentially spend the rest of their life with me, and I'm not sure that I would want to either. The world will go around regardless of what I do. I'm depressed most of the time but I highly doubt not having a relationship is the reason. I guess I just want an explanation of what the desire for one is.
@aguywhodoesstuff,
Well, most humans crave connection - and a desire for isolation can be one of many signs of depression. Yes, yes, I know, plenty of non-depressed people like solitude. I am not talking about that - you admit you are depressed. Have you sought treatment for how you are feeling? Life does not have to be this way.
@jespah,
I have talked to a few therapists but they haven't been helpful, It can be difficult to explain your thoughts.
I guess I just want an explanation of what the desire for (a relationship) is.
Because it feels good.
You sound like you have forgotten what feeling good is like.
What did the therapist suggest that makes you say it didn't work.
Stumble It!
