Vancouver breeds fucked up relationships, especially in academia. Everyone judges you poorly if you have some kind of conservative monogamous relationship. Clearly you aren't reading enough f*cked up philosophy. It's almost a competition to be honest.

I think you're missing the obvious here: people who jump from relationship to relationship do so out of their own insecurities and don't necessarily look for someone actually suitable for them. We've all probably seen the cycle, and know it doesn't usually end well.

You have to love yourself - or at least believe you are lovable - for anyone to be able to love you. Love comes when you stop looking and start living a fulfilling life.

Exactly as Natty said. And those people who have multiple relationships will get burnt out, they just don't know it yet. We all know the end result..

I don't think you're the one with the problem.... Love does not happen that easily, your friends are fickle, and in lust. DEFINITELY NOT LOVE. Don't worry, you are the norm.

Believe in yourself…love yourself first. Love your dreams and the person you are ….the goals you want to become. The things that make your heart soar…follow that and the right people will come into your life and enhance the journey you are on. Good luck! Love is hard and many of us walk that fine step with loneliness and thrive in that part of the journey even though it can be oh so tough!

doesn't matter if you're a guy or a girl. read No More Mr Nice Guy by robert glover. he talks about how our own toxic shame from chlidhood makes us think that we're worthless. it really does boil down to how you processed events as a child. Now, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start learning how to take care of yourself. Go get a massage, buy yourself a fancy coffee drink or a nice lunch, breathe in and let your love for yourself fill your heart. you are all you'll ever need and no one can complete you, they can only compliment you.
