as a society, we value romantic relationships so much that we tend to overlook other forms of love (familial, platonic) so much emphasis is placed in finding your "true love" that we neglect the meaningful bonds we form with others that aren't our romantic interests. the mentality of “i will never find a gf/bf” can be damaging because it may distort our perception of others who cherish us and makes us value them less, as we tend to continuously seek the feeling of love from a potential romantic partner this causes fear and unsteadiness as we are scared to damage what is there --- you didn’t break my heart the idea of you did whose fault is it? only mine i knew it would end like this still i chose to fantasise about what we could be instead of listening and letting you go i wanted the pain later rather than now
