As someone who did this from the age of 13-19 (3 back to back long term relationships) I have to agree. I thought I needed someone to love romantically at all times or my life would fall apart and I would feel alone forever. Turns out being single is fine though, I took like 6 months before I started a new relationship and honestly? This is the best relationship I’ve ever had, likely due to that time I gave myself.
it’s about being able to be comfortable while alone. if you can’t manage that, in my experience, you tend to be extremely codependent. you should be able to be okay on your own for a bit lol. i also don’t think you truly value the people you’re dating if you’re moving on that quick. or you’re just shallow and have low standards, which in that case go off ig
idk where you got the idea of me pining after someone who doesn’t like me back haha but that’s definitely not the case. i make guys wait and prove their worth before giving them a chance. jumping from one relationship to another feels gross and i don’t need to be dating someone to be happy. i find it odd when others need to always be in relationships
this also isn’t referring to an ex if that’s what you’re thinking hahaha. it’s directed at friends/family members who constantly get obsessed with new people, have their honeymoon phase, realize they’re not compatible, break up, and repeat the cycle with the next available person. it shows bad judgement imo and it annoys me watching the same preventable cycle over and over. it’s not jealousy it’s annoyance
