you're so right, and it's incredibly sad the kinds of warped psychology people adopt to be in a relationship - as if being "in a relationship" is better than anything else you could have or be or want.

a relationship is always caring, always hearing, always kind. if it isn't, then it's not a relationship.

exactly, you understand. i don't know why people think a relationship is not supposed to be kind and caring?

Period! I have never been interested in a love where I’m miserable 80% of the time. If that makes me selfish then so be it idc

Thankfully I'm seeing so many more women choose being single over being in miserable relationships so I do think things are improving and I hope they keep improving because so many people do have unhealthy attachment styles and notions about love.. :( It is worrisome. Your perspective is definitely healthier!
