Do people really feel mediocre when they’re NOT with anyone romantically?. . .
I’ve never felt this way at all. I’ve been hurt when my relationships end, but
so far, NEVER mediocre when I’m not in a relationship. I’ve heard that some
people ACTUALLY get bored when they’re NOT in a relationship! inputs anyone?
confession n. A written or oral statement acknowledging guilt, made by one who has been accused or charged with an offense.
It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.

It's kind of like being in someone's head while they're praying or thinking about things they'd never say outloud.

Yeah, it seems a bit strange to me too. However, I know a lot of people who feel mediocre when they’re not in a relationship. It’s very common in our society I think because we are brought up in such a way to think that if we are not with anyone, then there is something wrong with us. We need to learn that it’s ok to be alone sometimes! :)

I find myself getting bored when I’m not involved in something of a relationship, but I wouldn’t say I feel mediocre at all. In fact, when I end something, I feel somewhat liberated.

Funny… I feel mediocre when I am in a relationship. It’s probably because I have been in a relationship since I was practically a zygote.

Psychological needs cover a broad spectrum. It depends on what is important to you & what needs are already fufilled. Someone who has accomplished most of the goals they have set, but lacks friendship and love, may feel very lonely. A person with friendship and social support may not feel the desire to be in a realtionship. In any case, I don’t think many would argue that feeling cared is an actual need–without it, people get wierd.

Has anyone noticed that when someone you know or you. . . is NOT with anyone, most people tend to gain weight?? But, dating someone makes most people lose or maintain their weight? It’s like saying (consciously or not), well, I’m NOT with anyone so I might AS WELL be FAT?? Boredom, Lack of sex, or BOTH??

no, it’s not true. if u gain weight, it’s not directly related to your relationship status. i’m thin and i’ve never been in a relationship. some fat people are single and vice versa. sex does not make a person thin. get a clue!
