    no one deserves a relationship

    Alienation drives people nuts. Idk about “deserves”, but everyone ultimately needs them to function normally. Folks who are shut up and hooked into the YouTube Vomit Cannon or the Twitter Racism Space to get all their socializing are the ones that burn out, melt down, or become Elon Musk.

    Being unfulfilled is part of life, and any adult is well aware of that, and is good regardless.

    Being unfulfilled creates motivation to change oneself. But being trapped in a sense of unfulfillment is toxic to the point of madness. If you’ve got no release for your anxiety or depression, you turn inward in a way that can get very dark over time.

        Alienation does drive people nuts.

        Great news for anyone in solitary confinement.

        Socializing isn’t romantic fulfilment

        It is a necessary precondition

        Complaining about being trapped in a sense of unfulfillment is a non sequitur.

        No it isn’t
