"I cherish being single"

I don't believe you dot gif


--



so anyway I have about the left most 25% of my tablet dead... I first tried remapping it to avoid the dead part but the sensitivity felt too twitchy for me, so I then just rearranged my photoshop workspace to try and get around it... I think it'll do for now..

I mean it would be like either I'd have to hide clothes and stuff and change on the way to a date or look in a way that I would not want to long term or come out to my parents. And that's ignoring the issues with finding a date.

Will be easier when I move out though it would still be weird when they'd want to meet family/friends

I'm unwilling to compromise at this point in my life.

I did that for far too long already.

You're probably more willing than you realize. I mean, from what I know of you, you're super busy and motivated. You compromise a lot in your life to get things done. You might not have room in your life for something as complex as a relationship right now, but things might settle down at some point and give you more room to breathe.

Again, I apologize if I'm assuming or projecting a bit. Just going off of what you've said in here.

This is probably an accurate assessment. It's going to be weird to be done with school and have all that free time back.

you're all liars who are emotionally shielding themselves. there's always time for relationships. what kind of life would it be if there wasn't? I mean you even have plenty of time to post on here.

sorry, I'm not even better. it's a normal reaction if you have been hurt in the past.

Yeah, I don't buy the "no time" thing either. I'd have plenty time, I just gave up altogether. Which probably is incrediböy sad and stupid, but eh.
 
FloatOn said:
Also I still contend that relationships are a huge compromise and eventually not worth the effort.

I cherish being single.

I feel like this perspective comes from the idea that when a relationship has ended that it failed. I don't buy that. Relationships come in and out of your life and serve their purpose until they're no longer needed, and that's more than okay!

Also if you find yourself compromising more than you're comfortable with then you're probably not that compatible with the person, or not very good at communicating and standing up for yourself.

Also not all compromises are created equally. For example, I have to compromise bed space in order to share it with someone. That's a trade with a huge uptick.

I'm too dumb to express it like this. But that's what I meant. :c

If only it were as easy as it just coming and going and serving their purpose.

You should feel extremely fortunate to not have suffered the fallout of a horrible breakup thus far. People can be truly horrible.

Concerning my compromise, it was less to do with me not sticking up for myself as it was being overly accommodating to her needs. I told myself that in order to be a good husband I had to do _____, which was true to a point. But there are times when you deny or diminish your own life so much you are no longer able to meet the needs of others.
 
I started writing a sequel to my last book. This one's much more sci-fi than fantasy. It's about a group of xenophobic space faring humans landing on a planet just undergoing an industrial revolution. The planet has a unique source of energy that allows the spirit to be seen after death, and this leads the xenophobes to change their system of belief and try to harness the energy to attain eternal life, eventually leading to the birth of the "magic" seen in my last book.

I feel like writing is such a bizarre thing - so many people must do it, but it's always "ugh" when you hear people talk about it. I guess because there's so much fan fiction-y stuff out there and you rarely meet a competent writer in real life. I feel like such a nerd even talking about it. I do enjoy it though. And this time it's much less of a "look what I can do, I'm writing a book!!" affair and I feel like I'm actually putting something substantial out there.

Not that anyone cares. BlogGAF

Yeah, I understand where you're coming from. Not that I can fully appreciate it, having not been there myself, but I'm trying to.

Taking care of yourself is important. Finding someone who helps you take care of yourself is even better! A relationship can't be one-sided or else it's not going to last.

Yeah, there are a lot of reasons it might get dismissed. Personally, I get super overwhelmed when I walk through a book store and see all the hundreds of thousands of different authors taking their stab at it. So many stories, most of them probably pretty good if they got published, and not nearly enough time for anyone to read them all. It's much easier to let someone else tell you which books are interesting and worth your time.

I think it doesn't help that there's such a low barrier to entry on writing. I mean we teach it to kids when they're super young even! Graphic art has a similarly low barrier to entry, but you can tell instantly whether it's interesting to your or not. Reading takes far more commitment.
 
I've never gotten a lot out of relationships, they definitely have a LOT of annoyances. I'm not one to compromise who I am, and I am very, very confrontational. It is going to take someone very, very unique to get me to put up with the shit being in a relationship entails.

I don't think anybody's denying that's the right call for you. You know exactly what you want, you can get it, and you're having fun.

But if you were someone one day posting relationshipgoals.gif and the next day it's single life ftw then that seems like a conflict worthy of a resolution. :)

Relationships suck.

My dad asked me today why I was at home whole weekend. I just pointed to my knee and he was like 'oh I forgot sorry'

That happens to me on a sexual level but theres always a deep need in me to have someone I can share my life with, wether it be a gf/bf or just a friend. I think that's why I'm kinda miserable right now, I don't have anyone

Tbh the most I enjoy of a relationship I think is sharing time with the partner which is pretty similar to a friendship except there is more emotional investment into it plus the sex. I kinda miss spending hours chatting about whatever we wanted even if repeated but getting new perspectives into it, watching films, shows , anime and playing videogames with a partner more than the actual lewdness. I think people overall overrates sex and think its the main aspect of a relationship and maybe at first there is a lot of sex talk and sex acts but eventually its more about sharing experiences and moments together.

I don't have time for a relationship cause Im moving from here and I haven't found someone that covers all my basic bases of interests and train of thought.(This doesn't mean it has to agree 100% with me and like the same things but have a basic level of common interests we can be on the same frequenxy) Im extremely picky for it and it gets tiredsome and the LGBT community can be extremely sex oriented than actually dating which puts me off.

100% of nuts agree it's trash.

God, it does sound awful. The comparison to Skyrim really makes it sound fucked. Like whew I have a raw seething hatred of Skyrim and NMS is somehow worse with gameplay.
 
Oh god I stroked a cat for a bit on the way home from the shop and it decided it wanted to follow me and now I feel really bad because it's probably just sitting outside my door wondering where I went :C

Yeah it's weird, the most successful relationships I've had have been with people who were maybe less liberal about sex, all the ones where we'd be constantly fucking were the ones that burnt out quicker, i mean you have to stop having sex eventually and then what do you do if your partner is boring.

I saw a mama kitty and three small kittens in the sidewalk early in the morning and I think they might have been strays. :( (if only because it's highly unusual to see kittens that small running loose in the street at night)

I kept an eye out for them today but still haven't seen them again. I'm definitely a little worried.
