Thanks for the accidental sub recommendation <| sep |> The unfortunate thing is mate . the people you hear about having these surreal relationships are outliers . You can ' t feel left out when the majority of us won ' t get to experience that anyways . This is why its so important for people to accept that they can be happy and enjoy their life without needing that other specially when your imagination will never equal reality . And sorry if I assumed you were needy , there ' s just a lot of guys responding that sound like me from 3 years ago so I ' m lumping you all together apparently . And its not easy . It took me years of finally finding for myself that I don ' t need someone like that . I have friends and family and yes I still hope one day it would be nice to fall in love but at the same time , if it doesn ' t happen then my life will still be full filled . Good luck bro !
