Like so many on here at the moment I'm having an absolutely horrific time OLD and the constant rollercoaster of emotions and experiences (both bad and good, but if good then inevitably turning bad at some point!) is really taking its toll on me.
I'm not sure I can continue to date much longer. At best, it's always just a short-term high followed by endless disappointments as you get to know people better and uncover their red flags, or they let you down, or it fizzles out, or you feel like you're being kept on the back-burner until something better comes along.
I genuinely want to become ok, no...fuck...not just ok....HAPPY with being single. I want to step off the endless conveyor belt of dating and learn to live a rich, fulfilling and exciting life without it.
I do love sex, and am too young to give up on that completely, so the ideal for me would be to find a couple of FWBs. But around that I'm being more accustomed to the idea that actually I really don't need a partner for anything else.
Can anyone recommend any material to get me started? Be it books, podcasts, vlogs/blogs etc...
In need of a complete mind reset! For way too long have I subscribed to the idea that being in a relationship is the only way to be truly happy.
