IɳFamous Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Being in a relationship is one of the most overrated things a person can possibly do and it seems most people pursue them due to societal pressures. Yeah, I'm 19 and have no desire for a sexual relationship or romantic relationship at all. Happy just doing my own thing. Same except that I'm 21. I just find them boring tbh and much prefer my own company. Plus I can't be arsed with all the arguing. So is it the just the relationship you guys have no desire for is it the sexual desire all together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NostalgiaGod Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I don't see how relationships are the "most" overrated thing in life. I will say people seem to only get in them for social media or other shit but overall I think people in general would love to have a companion. I don't know though. I've been in relationships before. Not currently but they're really a life lesson and you learn stuff about yourself you may not have known. Got to take them for what they are.

Purple Rayne Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Being in a relationship is one of the most overrated things a person can possibly do and it seems most people pursue them due to societal pressures. When you're in a good one it's actually really amazing. Yeah, I find that to be a puzzling statement. I'd suspect that anyone who feels that relationships are overrated is simply someone who's never actually experienced a great one, 'cause I don't see how such a thing could possibly be considered overrated. Like, 'Yeah, I'm together with this person who I'm extremely passionate about, and I connect with her/him on a level that's incomparable to anything I've ever experienced with anyone else... but it's overrated.'

The majority of people would agree that poor relationships aren't a good thing, so they couldn't possibly be considered overrated, as they're not held in a high regard in the first place. The majority of people do, however, hold good relationships in a high regard, therefore, those are the only types of relationships that could possibly qualify as being overrated. If you feel that good relationships are overrated (or the concept of a good relationship), then I'm curious as to why you feel that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also makes people emotionally vulnerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyriqz ✪ Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I feel like you're either REALLY oblivious to what a proper relationship actually is, severly un- and/or antisocial or otherwise mentally unhealthy (which is okay, everyone can be affected by that) or you're trying REALLY hard to be edgy.

Perhaps something along the lines of avoidant personality disorder, at least for them. I have never felt a reason to pursue a relationship. And I don't see how that view of relationships is unhealthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyriqz ✪ Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Pick which approach you want explained. Biologically - No desire for relationships is irregular in terms of instinct and unhealthy fora species in a broad sense. Socially (which, let's be honest, is the only relevant thing here) - You're missing out on a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
