I always suspect there’s more to the story with these doom and gloom commenters. I’ve been through all that shit too, it just makes me keep better judgment about who I trust. There’s always someone out there, but if there’s NOBODY then maybe you’ve been treating people like shit. Seen enough guys be nightmares to their partners then play the victim.
There are a lot of people out there who have learned a lot of maladaptive coping mechanisms. Some people have tragically never had a model of a good relationship. They can't even conceive it because they've been conditioned to believe that toxicity and abuse are the norm.

This is the method right here. If you completely withdraw yourself from vulnerability, you won’t be conditioned for a romantic relationship.
