Remember to give yourself the time you need for a relationship. Too many people I feel get pressure into being into one by society.

[@joycedropoog575]

That is soooo true!

[@mugendude.]

Ive been trying so hard to make friends. Its not easy for me especially if you know how my childhood was but i dont get it. Is there something wrong with me? I did everything i could. Just recently i met this woman at community collage and i ask her if she wants to be friends cause i thinks shes cool. She accepted and I gave her my contact info and we split ways. Its been a week and nothing.. was it something i did?

[@whitelichmage7004]

This is totally something i can relate to. You see being single for about 12 years i've come to realize that you shouldn't get into a relationship to impress others but rather as a lifelong commitment that'll benefit you and your partner. Being a huge weeb and natural born intellectual and adventurer i need someone who's intelligent, adventurous, a bit tomboyish and adores freedom. I know people may say things like if you have too high expectations you'll never find your partner. Even though we can't expect our partner to be exactly like us we can have high expectations for a partner who has a similar, like minded personality that perfectly compliments our own while still having enough diversity and mystery for both sides to bring something new and interesting to the table.

[@N3XTREVOLUTION]

It's not just you. If you're a guy making friends can feel impossible. You need to find an outside hobby, I recently picked up Yu-Gi-Oh and it's been a blast playing with people in public.​@@mugendude.

...Not Looking AT each other but looking together in the same direction...

[@Vantitas]

This is definitely what’s lacking in a majority of relationships these days regarding the unhealthy expectations, standards and boundaries people set for themselves and others. No one is perfect, so you’ll waste your time looking for it under the falsehood of knowing your worth than being realistic.

[@valeriaabarca6743]

@@Vantitas It is true not everyone is perfect however there are certain things you just can't accept in a relationship. That's why boundaries are so important. I won't settle for someone disrespectful or someone that doesn't treat me right just out of fear of not finding anyone. There are some things that you just can't accept. There are prons and cons to everything but if your partner will make your life more miserable I dont see why you should accept that

[@RetroManiac64]

To me, my fear of rejection is the biggest thing that keeps me single. I often fear that if I try to open up to people, or try and strike up a conversation with someone new, they won't like me or want to talk to me. I try to let myself know that if they do reject me, or are even rude to me if I say "Hi", it's not my fault, maybe I just caught them on a bad day or something. Also, ironically, the biggest reason I fear rejection, is that I don't truly know what it feels like. Like I've said in other comments, I'm 25M and have been single for my whole life, so I don't know what breaking up feels like, and that terrifies me. I know it's unrealistic to expect my first girlfriend to be my ONLY one, but that doesn't change my fear. Personally, I compare this to my fear of bees. I'm lucky and never have been stung by a bee, but that's also why I get extremely paranoid when one or more are nearby. I don't know what it's like to be stung, and am so afraid to find out. I obviously know that trying to talk to someone new won't result in physical pain, but the potential rejection can still hurt, which is why I fear it. I also am the kind of person who gets envious and even angry sometimes when I see couples or people kissing in public, being envious of what I really want and don't have. Even online, when ever I see comments on videos like these where they say "OMG I finally got a girlfriend!", this feeling comes up too. It just sucks because all the replies say things like "Wow, congratulations! 🥰", but I have to be that one guy who's just like "😠". I never reply as to not be the mood killer, but still.

[@A_Man_with_a_Dream]

Stay strong bud, one day u ll notice the change in everything 🧡 someday when you won’t realize that 💔 just stay strong and keep living

[@kiim1593]

Relatable! At 30, I still haven't been in a relationship either, but I just feel like I haven't connected with someone like that. And also the few people that I've liked throughout my life never liked me back. Granted I have the extra challenge of being wlw but even the couple of guys I've liked didn't like me back 💀. But at least I've been stung by a bee and survived 😅. It stung me on my chin 😭 but i's a manageable pain if you take the stinger out right away

[@jinchuriki7022]

Are you me?

[@707kuma3]

Same here, but after constant rejections I don’t want to believe to any girl who approach me first.. I cannot forget what happened.. Sometimes I wish I didn’t meet them at all. After all I’m just a reject in this world

[@elisciachristie6984]

This has been coming across my phone about staying single, and what if that's just what someone wants. Many people go through a lot of pain, believing someone loves them and come to find out they never did. So leave people alone and maybe one day they will get there.

[@aarspi]

That’s one of the signs listed. Some people simply arent and that’s okay

[@ExcelMK]

I don’t think I really have a chance regardless of my mindset. Not only am I socially anxious, not only am I also depressed, but I have a bad habit of laziness and I say the wrong things so often it makes me look like a complete jerk. Maybe people see something in me I don’t but I’m in a horrific spot that I don’t see me breaking out of.

1 and 5 are very, very relatable...but I was cheated upon in my first relationship, endured a barrage of bullying and harassment for rejecting someone I had no interest in, mentally and physically abused in my second one, and I was rejected by someone that preferred to be with someone that was unemployed. At this phase, I give up because it's a game you can't win at. Also, I'm old (will turn 33 this year) and it's hard to compete with the younger generation. But then this channel did once mention the dating world is beyond broken, so I don't feel TOO overly bad about it now...

[@SkytaStyle]

I'll turn 33 this year too, and I can relate so much about what you're saying, at this point I feel it's all about luck after all. I've met people who barely meet new people and get into a serious relationship, and I feel I should meet 1000000 new people to probably get in one 😂 it sucks man, I know people have flaws, actually I wss the idiot who really did ignore the big flaws abd get hurt in the end, but you just wanna be genuinely loved, that's it

[@whitelichmage7004]

Being in a relationship should be a life long commitment and invaluable asset that'll benefit you and your partner. Not something used to impress society because life isn't a contest.

I realized after my last relationship which was over 11 years ago, I learned a lot about myself. I’m happy being single plus you have to live your purpose. Don’t I have found someone who will love me for me 😅.

[@apocratos0174]

Remember to work on your personal issues first and try to be happy with yourself before going out there searching for love. How can you make another person happy if youre not happy with yourself?? And its not fair to go out there, trying to find someone and throw your emotional bagage onto them, expecting this relationship to be healthy and lasting... Thats why im 33 and the last serious gf i had was 13 years ago....

[@richiepez]

damn 33? how is u holding up ? like do you still feel the need to be with someone or no

[@KiallVunMyeret]

I don't actually like this advice though it does hold some truth We are fleeting and imperfect creatures. Fixing personal issues takes a lot of time for some and the longer you wait and go without love the harder it will be to find someone later as you will miss experience. You can be in a relationship and not dump all your baggage on the other person. And even if the relation doesn't last atleast you'll have more of a understanding of what you want/need in a relationship. Sometimes the happines you can't see can be found by someone else with a different perspective who looks into places you never thought of. You obviously shouldn't rush into relations without taking time to heal but it's equally bad to wait around forever in the hope you'll someday be a perfect person without flaws. We are social creatures who are designed to feel unhappy when we are lonely as a survival instinct. If people could commonly achieve perfect happiness by themself we wouldn't need relations to elevate that. How do you expect someone to make you happy if you insist on trying to do it alone?

[@tomotan5552]

​@@KiallVunMyeretI'm here literally crying because I'm so tired of hearing and reading that I should be in a relationship RIGHT NOW because if I don't, the older I'll get, the worst it will be, that NO ONE will ever love me for just for getting "old". So, people over 30, 40, 50 don't deserve a chance? Really? Life isn't linear! You can't imagine all the pressure and the hurt of those words. I'm tired of hearing being single is worst thing that can happen to you as a human, "missing the experience?", no, stop pressuring people to live a life they don't want. There's many ways you can feel loved not just from a partner.

[@KiallVunMyeret]

@@tomotan5552 Sorry you got such a visceral reaction but absolutely nothing of what you are crying about is what i actually said First off i said what i said was the longer you go without a relation the harder it will be to get back into one. A relation between a person who knows what they want from previous relations and a person who doesn't know what they look for in a partner cause they haven't pursued one in a while is going to be harder (not impossible) then one where both sides know what they want. That's not pressuring people that's facts and common sense I never said it's impossible to get into a relationship once you're old. I never even mentioned age Second i replied to a comment who said to work on yourself before you search for a relation which means that it should have been obvious the context is about people who actually are looking for a relationship. This was never about people who are happy alone. Don't put words into peoples mouths. Next time a comment makes you litteraly cry would you kindly wait for the tears to dry so you can do some comprehensive reading before attacking and projecting your issues onto other people

[@sgnibble1]

I don’t completely agree on not having to meet someone before a certain age. Once you reach a certain age most people have kids from previous relationships thus limiting the number of available potential partners. I’ve already come to terms with staying single because I don’t want to help a baby daddy raise his kids 🤷‍♀️ that’s just unnecessary stress and extra responsibility which I’m sure would be dumped on me while he just chills with his friends or does his hobbies. It’s a bad deal

I'm 38 years old now, and I find the idea to date women that have kids uncomfortable, especially if these kids are nearing their teenage years.

As someone in this predicament, it’s so spot on. However I have some reasons to doing some of these.

And the sooner i do a better job at accepting this, the better ill be in life. Is it harsh and cynical? Yes. But honestly, it's the truth. A truth i need to accept.

[@ecronaclon47]

Not necessarily. I can say for myself, however, that I'm finally starting to understand that making a relationship a top priority actually shoots myself in the foot because I care too much, and I put too much pressure on myself with too little experience, producing stress and negative feedback. I don't think a relationship should be more important to us than say finding quality friends and being true to ourselves and who we want to be. Find an ambition and pursue it with passion! Because it is more delusional to believe we will never succeed in life than to believe, with work and vision, we can become who we want to be in the circumstances we always wanted. But, that takes the risk of hoping again. Or rather, believing we are worthy of our ambitions and letting that _new identity_ drive us to make it reality.

I feel like I’m still single because I keep putting my foot in my mouth. Saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Best solution would be to have more conversations or to talk to a therapist and discuss what’s going on, at least in my biased opinion.

[@CaptainChubbyDuck]

I think my problem is that Im autistic, have tried online and dating apps for over 15 years, Ive been rejected by every girl Ive ever tried with so for me its like I completely miss some details or dont understand something, doing something wrong. I hope Im wrong, that I just simply miss some signals, but it actually feels like no girl has ever been even the slightest interested in me, regardless what I do. It feels like I need to study and learn flirting techniques or maybe reading and understanding body language. Girls use alot of signal and non-verbal communication after all. I have some issues with the social stuff in general, but have an easier time getting friends actually. Its always been like this. Sure I have bad self-esteem and might come off as desperate etc, that is something I need to work on. But sometimes i dont know where to start, and Ive actually pretty much given up, because it simply hurts to much to get rejected over and over and over and over, every single time......Im 30 years and havent even had sex dude.

[@valerietaylor9615]

I didn’t have sex until I was twenty-seven. I’ve had two serious relationships in my entire life, plus a few flings and one-night stands. I’m now sixty-five going on sixty-six, have been alone for fifteen years, and only recently realized that I’m happier that way. 😊

[@mrSrigwils]

Damn so the "coaches dont play 🗣" mindset is holding me back, thanks Psych2Go for the help :)

[@HopeIsntDead]

I get real emotional when a friend of mine is hurt. I don't know if I want to deal with the pain that'll come when a romantic partner is hurt. The absolute outburst of emotions that would come is overwhelming, and it scares me. That's why I remain single

[@TomcatF47]

Losing all hope was freedom

[@NoblesseOblige-17]

Oh, cool, I have 5 of those!

[@lordgiblets7585]

I can't even get people to treat me with basic respect, nor am I able to get anyone to show enough interest in me to have anything more than a surface level conversation. Why should I even bother trying?

[@herbskie1636]

What if I want to be in a relationship with someone but at the same time if I asked her out a part of me wants her to say no?? I have other issues I need to deal with but this one is weird to me. Or is it a sign for me to work on those other issues first? I’m lost

[@georgeapostolopoulos144]

I want to get back with my ex. She was exactly what I needed. I tried finding someone new and haven't found anyone right for me.

[@MitsuriK14]

It's so hard to meet someone who wants a genuine emotional connection in this generation

[@Laindal]

I feel i will be single forever, but because i am ugly, introvert and i have no social abilities to approach a woman "romantically". It is sad to accept this reality.

[@jccuchvjvj]

I have copied the mechanism from childhood from my relationship with my mom. I'm a child from a rap.. and I can only love the one that I'm pushing away. Who is close and yet so far.

[@iamnisc]

Waiting 😢

[@rosesmith2480]

Trust. Where can I find that

[@CWazBroadwayBandGeek]

Oh I KNOW I’m going to be single forever. The dating scene focuses on looks instead of personality and heart.

[@Siniset]

For me there's only one thing: I'm too shy to tell girl I like her

[@RetroGame855]

I literally fricked up...every new day, I understand more that I will stay single forever.

[@victorwatanabesouzabarbier6355]

What happended with the simple design? There is too much variation and effects that cause a dustraction for the conttent

[@user-os5sy1hd1v]

i wanna be in a relationship but at the same time no one likes me

[@thamashadevindi]

I am leaving this comment because I want to tell this to somebody but I cannot do that to my friends. I think I had feelings for one of my best friends in my school years but she is also a girl as I am. That time I didn't want to admit that but felt very happy deep in my heart anytime when little things happen like catching me when I was about to fall or patting me to say 'it's okay'. I thought I was happy because I felt that she cares about me because I cared about her a lot. Sometimes I felt like I am doing all the things that she ask me to do but only thing I got back was letting her to make fun of me always. But I wanted to be with her so badly. Though I was thinking in that way, I know she also did care about me. Anyway I admitted my feelings after leaving the school but didn't know how to get over them. Unexpected confession also happend in last year but I know she doesn't have the feelings for me like I did. And she was having a partner already. I said her that I had overcome from it but it was a lie. I want to let this go because the friendship is far more important than this stupid 'having feelings' thing. Does anyone know what to do?

[@Bobogaucho]

I have issues trusting people. Or, to be honest, people think in a way, and I think in another, entirely. So I'm awkward with girls, awkward with boys awkward with...things nor masculine nor feminine. I'm just comfortable with my 8yo grey cat. He's calm, fat and cute. I'm anxious, fit and cute too. So we make a good pair, we watch youtube videos together. He loves when i scratch gently his neck, and his back. I love feeling the softness, and the fluffiness of its fur. I'm trying to change things, I wanna be more comfortable with other humans. But I trust either too much, either too less. I start trusting people, then I feel betrayed, and I'm sad I trusted someone. I know I'll feel bad, so I trust myself, my family and my cat. So buy cats, people. They are carefree and independent, so they don"t feel like a charge, they aren't acting like pick-mes (like dogs do.) and they do trust you if you're not an asshole.

[@abigailherington7455]

Yep

[@darlingdior]

I've been single my whole life. Though I have had 2 online relationships that didn't go anywhere. I'm too shy to talk to people and really don't know what to talk about and feel like I'm a failure because I've gone so long (29 yrs old) so I have a hard time opening up to people. This mix makes me very shameful and I see couples and wonder where did I go wrong and why can't I do that.

[@Jukari94]

Aromantic that's me.

[@wardonx887]

Good

It's perfectly valid to be Aro! 🏳️‍🌈💚💚🤍🩶🖤

[@mugendude.]

Screw finding a partner. Will i ever make a Friend that who loves me for who i am? Is that to much to ask?

[@gabriellecureux5528]

Ya my biggest problem is meeting new people but I have no idea where to even start I my community isn't that big and the majority of activities money which j can't really afford to do a bunch of stuff

[@tomotan5552]

Dear people reading me: Please don't let anyone to make you feel bad just because you don't have a romantic relationship. Sometimes I feel people just look for a partner because that's what others expect you to do, and it's horrible. Makes you believe you are incomplete but that's not true. Please stop thinking you are unlovable for whatever reason, you are worth tons of love, doesn't matter your age or whatever. Live the life you want at your pace, you don't owe anyone anything but yourself. Honestly, I want a relationship too but I'll do it for myself, not for pleasing others, not to prove I'm worth just because other person decided to share their life with me. No, I'm already worth the way I am, single or in a relationship, whatever.

[@mr.sheeppeehs4204]

I don’t know if you guys do suggestions. But a video I would like to see would be how to show others that I care about them

[@omppu65]

They have made a video about love languages which seems to fit that topic because it talks about different ways of showing love (doesn't have to be romantic)

[@mr.sheeppeehs4204]

@@omppu65 thanks, I’ll look for that

[@Seventh-sky_official]

1 and 5 are my problems for the same reason. I feel dumb for believing someone special loved me, they left and now I'm scared to love again.

[@Fire_Fox-pp2jl]

wow i'm in the 1 2 4 and 5

[@eeyore8874]

Definitely trust issues especially after when my ex was manipulative emotionally abusive and stalked me after i split. Much easier not to go back into one.

[@LuckyBlast1]

I mean, we humans can NEVER be perfect! We always come close to it, but never reach it.

[@valerietaylor9615]

Most people don’t even come close.

[@LuckyBlast1]

@valerietaylor9615 We always need to try our best, though.

[@Errrrrr89]

[@joycedropoog575]

I genuinely don't want a relationship. Its hard work, and i don't want to put the work and effort into it.

[@wayneturner8575]

I normally like and agree with this channel. However,I disagree with this video. It is victim blaming, and solely blaming the individual for those that don't want to be single. Instead of victim blaming. It fails to mention, that a lot of luck is involved with finding someone. Add to that we live in a very shallow and fickle society. In which possibly the majority are picking the wrong people. With many people rightly or wrongly going to be seen as more appealing than others. We all have to remember the populist fallacy - Just because the majority think something, doesn't mean they are right. Issues have to be judged on individual merit and not popularity.
