I never understood why people want to jump into relationships...they feel as if they are not complete if they are not with a man/woman...why is that?
I have read so many threads on here, about finding that "special" person, and how they are lonely and unhappy because they can't seem to find that Mr. Right or Miss Right...

Why is it people need to feel complete only when they are with someone? Sometimes, they rush into a meaningless unhealthy relationship just to pacify their loneliness...if you can't be happy within yourself, how in the world can you be happy with a partner? Am I crazy thinking this way? I think that a relationship should be 50/50...both give and take...but when you are not 100% within yourself, how can you go into a relationship with missing pieces?

Ok, that is my deep thought of the day...because we all know, that I don't have many of those

Just curious on what ya'lls 2 cents on this matter is!

hmmmmmmmm I take it that you are talking about yourself because if you are talking about me you are not even close hun

Your right to be able to have a healthy happy relationship you have to be happy with who you are.

I would love to have someone special in my life, but if that never happens I know that I am still going to enjoy life, and have fun with whatever new adventure comes my way.

interesting
i am myself dont feel complete if am not dating someone
i dont know though

I don't think you can read...

but try again and maybe you'll get the meaning of what I was asking

Wish I knew the answer, insecurity was my reason. I was scared to death to be "alone"
Now, I am fine with myself. I know I can live just fine alone, but I choose to share myself with someone, who is also ok with themselves.


There...you have my .02, now I need coffee!

Amen

well it was a little confusing

Ive basically been alone from the first day i was born. ive never been in a really meaningful relationship. ive had my girlfriends in the past but that was "puppy-love" from when i was in highschool.

my idea on this subject is that as people we need someone to spend time with. i think that is all that it comes down to. we need affection, love, someone who shares our own interests. i think that is all that it comes down too. in a relationship you can be as affectionate as you want to be where if you were say affectionate(not in an physical relationship) with say a opposite sex family member then it would be shunned by other family members. im 19 and i have a stepsister of the same age. we are really close but would never act on any feelings toward eachother, which neither of us have, but my stepfather wont leave us alone with eachother for his idiotic fear of us actually doing something.

as americans in family deep relationships are taboo, so we find that needed love and affection elsewhere.

but my stepfather wont leave us alone with eachother for his idiotic fear of us actually doing something.
that happens in my family also but its with cousins

i have a cousin my same age.

i hate being in a hick family >.>

same here

I have been married...that didn't work out, spent the next...I forget number of years alone. Found out who I was, what I liked and became 100% happy with me. One thing I have learned from my most recent relationship with my ex-girl friend is if one becomes to happy with the person they are, then we tend to believe we are the only one that matters...wrong answer...it is a fine line to walk. We have to learn to balance the relationship on both sides.

I agree with you mskat..... The truth hurts, don't it!
