Not just romantic relationships, but also friendships and family. How would you describe your desire to seek out others, or why do you feel close to them? In what ways does it affect you when good or bad things happen to the people you know, and why, since it's not happening to you?
I've been friendless and mostly isolated for more years of my life than not, and I have never been in any romantic situation (never mind a full relationship). I know this should bother me, yet it doesn't. However it does make me curious about what motivates other people to seek out relationships with others.

you know i'm glad you asked this question..i often wonder why i continue to go through the trouble,disappointments and heartache. a lot of times i don't think it's worth it. a lot of it is i hate to be alone, i suffer from severe BPD so that doesn't help at all, so i have made a lot of impulsive bad decisions just because i want to be loved, to this day i still make bad decisions, it must be nice not to have to taste the sting of heartache, i keep telling myself i will never do a relationship again yet i always seem to end up in one..i feel like there is something missing in my life if i don't have a gf, so it is very difficult for me to be single.
as far as friendships, again i think it goes back to not wanting to be alone.
i live by myself so that makes it imperative that i have friends and people to be around, my cat is a sweetheart but she's not enough! hee hee, i do like some time alone but not too much, so i tend to do things that aren't in my best interest to be around people, so i guess companionship is one thing i get out of relationships
