Do you find yourself wondering how it could have been? Or the the experiences you may have missed?

  1. Yes. I grief the missed experiences and wonder what person I could have been. At this point in my life it’s also just an insanely alienating position to be in since most people can’t relate.

  2. I’ve been in one relationship that was abusive, 13/14 years ago now.

    I’ve settled on that I was never good enough and probably never will be. Honestly, I’m horrified at just how much time has passed and that I’ve only ever been viewed as a hook up at best. You have no choice but to face there is likely something very wrong with you. I have very little experience of relationships despite my age unsurprisingly.

    I want to experience a real relationship but I really don’t know what else to do at this stage.

  3. Yes, but also all the times I have had to myself are really awesome.

    I Am learning to have relationships and make them fun and good for me.

    Kids and a long term partner are always in the back of my mind and the constant fear of loneliness but at the same time kids and partners can leave you and they aren’g a guarantee to happiness.

    Some days I want a partner that’s for sure

  4. Occasionally. But I also see my counterparts in relationships and see the good and bad. I think I have more freedom and opportunities than women in relationships.

    The big difference I see is respect. Being single and not in relationships, sometimes I’m treated with an odd disdain, assumptions I’m immature or haven’t ’really lived or experienced real problems or happiness’.

  5. Wow this is a depressing question

    I’ve been in relationships but never ones where the guy commits so as I get older I feel more hopeless with the state of dating lol

  6. Sometimes I’m totally ok with it. I am a full person, I have a vibrant wonderful life full of good friendships. I am independent, I can make all my own choices, no one else factors into my decisions. I’m not opposed to one, I just have not found someone

    Sometimes it’s absolutely crushing. I see everyone else dating and getting married and finding their people. I don’t have any of the experiences they do, and as time passes the divide gets heavier and heavier. I’ve missed out on so much, I’m continuing to miss out on so much. Sometimes I wonder what’s so wrong with me that there’s never been anyone. How is it so easy for everyone else? What if there is truly no one out there for me?

    Hell, my own mother tells me to save extra for retirement because there will be no one to take care of me

  7. I wish I did. Every time I think about it, I regret. I was scared in school and same even now.

    I want to have someone by my side.
