Reply to comment by Doggosnotfroggos in [Tool] These basic things can change your life by Sbinmaster69

So, just to be clear, you were anxious and depressed, and then you got into a relationship and it fixed everything for you?

I mean yeah? Living a life alone is hard and sad. It’s not such a radical concept. 15, 20 years ago it was normal to be in a relationship and if you weren’t you were an anomaly and and it was accepted it was a shitty situation to be in. This new attitude is overthinking things and is emotional gaslighting in my opinion. Get the relationship, if you’re still sad and depressed go see someone but don’t try and treat situational symptoms without trying to fix the situation. It’s madness.

Living life alone IS hard and sad, and most of us do long for romantic companionship. And I agree that sometimes, all that’s wrong is that you’re lonely. I don’t, however, think that’s the majority of cases.

Why? Because people who are emotionally secure, socially interested, and intellectually involved are in a perfect position to find a partner (much like you did, in fact!) This post is not written for people who are just in the normal transitory state between growing up and finding a partner. This post is intended for people for whom relationships do not come, or do not work.
