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.

I don’t need to listen to OP. I’m perfectly happy in my relationship, and think they’re talking harmful bollocks.

I’m glad this worked for you but honestly some of this is just plain wrong. I hate it when I see advice like you can’t be happy in a relationship if you can’t be happy alone because its completely nonsensical. Humans are social animals and being alone for prolonged amounts of time isn’t normal or healthy. People absolutely can be miserable alone and much happier in a relationship. Sure if you can’t be five minutes on your own you have problems but otherwise advice that says stuff that means you have to be at this special level in your life (love yourself, happy alone) before you should be in a relationship is really toxic imo and makes people think they aren’t good enough to have a partner.
