I feel like I have nothing to offer in a relationship, besides friendship. So, what personality traits do you have to possess in order to maybe steer someone from wanting friendship to wanting a relationship? I don’t mean this like getting out of the “friend-zone” I mean like prior to that.

I guess there is not really a secret sauce for this. But generally what did the other person do differently for you that made you want to have a relationship with them, rather than just friendship?

    I don’t mean to trauma-dump here but, I’m just gonna flat-out say it. My hopes for the future is to be dead in one or two years max. I figured, maybe I can still try to make it at least a little bit more comfortable in the mean time.

    But what you’re saying actually makes a lot of sense within my context.

        Global Warming mostly and an overall feeling of “Enough is enough.” Like what’s left to gain in the future?

          If you’re concerned about the climate, you could take action and attempt to change things. In terms of what we gain, that’s up to you. Maybe it’s as trivial as seeing the sequel to your favorite movie. There’s not enough time to experience everything this world has to offer. That’s the sad part to me. I’ll just try to experience what I can for as long as I can.

      My dude. Being in a relationship is a want, not a need. What you need to do is park your ass in a therapist’s office and trauma dump.

      Your wants come much easier when your needs are met.

      A relationship won’t soothe what is truly hurting you at your core. It’ll feel nice in the moment, but a bandaid does nothing for internal bleeding.
