Hey all, hope everyone is doing well.

I’m curious if anyone out there has made a conscious decision to not date or be in a relationship anymore.

If so, what was your rationale? Do you feel it was the right decision? If you’re currently considering it, why?

    I call bullshit. Anyone with the capacity to truly consider their own inadequacies is immediately adequate.

    You think you’re dumb? No, you can write in complete sentences. You think you’re selfish? No, you obviously don’t give yourself enough consideration. Think you’re ugly? Beauty is fleeting, and also no you’re not. You think someone who’s smart, caring, and cute is inadequate? Once again, bullshit. Go find love.

      Haha, thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately, i think i just have some really high expectations for myself. I’ve got my self-work cut out for me. It also doesn’t help that i’m slightly particular about what i want in a partner (i promise i’m not exceptionally vain—just a little)

        We’re in the same boat with the self expectations. Good enough doesn’t always feel good enough, but it is.
