Hello there. It's nice to meet you.

I don't wish to upset you or offend you in any way. But I've never understood why being in a relationship was always so important to people. You don't need to be romantically attached to a person to enjoy their company and have fun. Platonic bonds are honestly very important things. That's commonly enough where relationships sprout from, friendships. But just because a friendship can evolve into a relationship doesn't mean that it's mandatory. Just because you aren't dating anyone or married to anyone doesn't mean you're going to be alone. It's unfortunate that lots of people do worry about things such as not being in a relationship, since it was pushed onto us in our childhood. About how a woman and a man should get married and have lots of children and live happily ever after. But no one has to do that. You can have lots of friends and be happy that way.

Though, that being said, I'm not discouraging you from trying if you truly want that. If being in a relationship will give you happiness and make you feel good about yourself; you can try. But would it be a very emotionally satisfying relationship if you got into it just wanting a relationship in general? Just wanting a decent one or any one for that matter? I don't think so. But that's just me. Perhaps you should go talk to a therapist about this, maybe they'll give you advice. Maybe you could go onto dating sites and ask for advice? I'm sure plenty of people feel the same way you do and are willing to help.

As for the mean comments, that's just how society is, unfortunately. There's always going to be mean people out there who are overly blunt and hostile. There's going to be people who will say things just to break you down because they want to feel better about themselves. They feel like if they make you feel bad, they'll feel good. But that doesn't mean that's how everyone thinks of you and sees you. I know it may seem like that, it may seem like the whole world is against you. But it isn't, I promise. Things may seem bleak now, but it will get better. I don't know if you just hang around the wrong crowd or what. But not everyone is going to be intolerant of you. Some people will give you a chance and will talk to you and genuinely enjoy your company. Even if it doesn't seem likely.

I'm sorry for the very mixed response. I don't personally agree with you, but I do want you to be happy. So that's why I'm suggesting you go onto dating sites, go seek therapists or professionals about relationships, etc. Because, who knows, that may help you. Though, I also want to say that you don't have to change yourself. As I've stated previously, some people will give you a chance. The whole world isn't against you, even if it seems that way.

Thank you for reading. I hope nothing I said in this post was too harsh. Have a wonderful day!
