Let's talk relationships, Flood

Tell us what you think about relationships / love in general. Are you in a relationship? If so, what kind of a relationship is it (the dynamics, how you act when you're together etc.)? Are you unhappy because you aren't in one? Are you swearing off them because of bad experiences? What kind of things do you need from a partner (amounts of personal space or expressions of affection etc.)? I've learned the value of solitude and actively seek it out as much as possible, as when i'm with people i feel forced to articulate myself verbally; a form of expression I am neither fond of nor particularly good at. If i ever got into a relationship i'd need [b] [i]A LOT[/i][/b] of space and [b][i]A LOT[/i][/b] of understanding from the other person that I'm extremely introverted and am not comfortable with giving people lots of verbal attention. Whilst that may be possible without harming the relationship, i see how people work and in my opinion most of them wouldn't be able to cope with that lack of verbal communication and attention. Most people i meet are goddamn limpets with mouths like fog horns, even the ones who claim to need lots of space, so i just don't see how a relationship would work. I don't think i could give someone else what they think they need but i don't consider that a bad thing for me. I do not feel the need for someone else's love; as though i am not a whole person and therefore need somebody else as a kind of crutch in order to become one. If someone wants to get into a relationship with me then i'll give it my all, but i'm not actively looking for one because, sexual urges aside, i don't feel i need one.

  • I think, for many people, relationships can be an important aspect of their lives in keeping them in a healthy mental and emotional state. Some people need another person to rely on that they connect to on an extremely personal level. There are other people that don't seem to require that connection, but there's nothing wrong with that. We're all a little bit different from one another in what we require to achieve a sense of fulfillment in our lives, no sense in feeling shame about it. I myself am in the same relationship i've been in since January 13, 2012. As time progressed, of course we got more and more comfortable with each other, and at this point I don't feel there's anything I can't share with her. I spent a lot of my time before this relationship in a state of perpetual depression with a feeling that I was missing something important, but that feeling went away. All around, i'm feeling pretty content at this point in time.
