feeling very low about lack of relationship

[manateeintheocean]

Went to a beautiful wedding last saturday, this saturday I have a 40th birthday party to attend. I know it sounds really stupid & pathetic but I just find attending these sorts of events make me feel so lonely and inadequate as inevitably I end up being the only single person there. last saturday I was able to smile and laugh and be sociable but I'm ashamed to admit I cried driving home as I felt so empty and lost and uncared for.

not sure why I am posting but I am just so depressed and sad atm x

*good !!

I was thinking along the lines of that hole and the stick thing kind of go together, and not just for procreation.

and that children generally thrive in a hole/stick, hole/hole, stick/stick set-up. But of course thrive in hole or stick, too.

I should give this up, really, but I really don't believe that the entire reason we want to be coupled up is because of a misogynistic conspiracy. yy the stick people have jumped on the bandwagon and exploited it for all its worth, but that doesn't mean anyone who yearns to be coupled up is a product of a social construct.

imo.

Its all a mixture of nature and nurture.
The bit that is social construct is no less real. Being sad that were missing out on a major aspect of the human
Experience should be allowed but for some reason it never is.
