How do you stop feeling the desire to be in a relationship?
  • Edit:

    Hey, let me say first off I’m probably talking to you all wrong. You’re an adult, and I’m in the “talk to my kid” mindset with this. I apologize for being crass. Shit isn’t easy, I agree, I have been where you are and you’re not alone. You aren’t. Don’t lean into the anger and envy and darker tendencies humans have in these scenarios.

    Especially when you choose to not have one.

    I assure you even at the bottom of my deepest darkest depression, after 2 COVID deaths and suddenly finding myself a single father left alone with my son … I still CHOSE the isolation route.

    It wasn’t the depression and everything else choosing, it was me acquiescing to the sweet sad embrace of it. It was cathartic but it was also drowning.

    I don’t mean this to minimize, it is crippling and debilitating but it is still our choice. When you’re failing to choose to get up remember the choice is still yours and turn that into power for the next time.

    Take a chance. The worst case scenario is you stop doing the thing you weren’t doing already.

    Life is absurd, make your own meaning and your own purpose.

  • How do you stop feeling the desire to be in a relationship?
  • Hobbies is the answer.

    Join a gym, go once a week until you want to go more.

    Go to trivia at a bar that does it the same day every week.

    Find a local club for an interest you have.

    Find things that happen on a schedule that you have to show up for.

    The problem you’ve described, in my experience, is that it sounds like you don’t have a life for anyone to join you in.

    Nothing comes easy, even hobbies, you have to decide you want to do a thing and then do it on purpose even if you don’t want to do that thing in that moment.

  • This cat was a member of the French resistance.

    It had just murdered the crew of the Armored car and having completed its mission is now contemplating whether or not to exit the car, so it can walk back inside the car again (allowing it to once again exit the car), or not.

  • It's the talk of the town
  • 1st and 15th is common. Every Friday is common. Every other Friday is common too.

    ^ my experience the past 4 decades in the USA.

    I’ve never had monthly but that would be dope.

  • Imagine, if you can.
  • I still remember my neighbor getting SMB 3 for his 10th birthday.

    The size of the box was a giveaway. We knew it was a NES game before he unwrapped it.

    When we saw that package it was fucking ecstasy. The party was over and we all ran to the tv to put the game in and watch.

  • Russia and North Korea sign mutual defense treaty
  • Intended to tell the USA that South Korea is on the menu if they get involved in Ukraine I’d wager.

    That said … I can’t imagine either NK or Russia wants to be at the find out stage of that statement.
