95% of the days I am the strong independent woman who is adulting by herself - paying her taxes, pursuing her hobbies, traveling cities, making her meals, working her own hours, visiting friends, meeting new people, and taking care of her pet. But 5% of the days I am the vulnerable woman who has no one to lean on, and it's depressing. Not interested in dating. How do I get over this feeling?
Yep: friends and dating.
Ok so the answer is more friends then. Thanks.
Might reduce the 5% to 3% but only a partner will get you to 0% and increase the happiness of the other 95%. Why do you not want a partner? There are infinite types of relationships that can fit all sorts of needs and desires.
In the immortal words of Gordon Gekko, "if you need a friend, get a dog"
A pet is too much work and additional expense
But you just mentioned taking care of your pet in the 95%. And now you're saying you don't want a pet? Is this a random spam post.?
Just curious, why the lack of interest in dating?
Sounds like OP is putting their guard up to shield them from insecurities or previous breakups
I feel the same way on some days but I am open to making new friends or even dating to get over that 5%. Why aren’t you open to dating?
You’re going to hit the wall and your youth will be gone. Then what? Sounds like you’re wasting your time doing nothing and will end up alone and unhappy. Men need women and women want men. Or so the saying goes. Have fun fighting biology.
So everything I am doing is nothing, and the only thing that completes me is a man? Oh GTFO here boy.
Try volunteering at local community or help some people in need. That will give you a different level of happiness.
I forgot to mention, I lead a non-profit in my region 😊
How does this lady have so much time and energy! Kudos to you !
Why are you not interested in dating?
I find that the people with the strongest support networks spend the most amount of time helping others, maybe time to retrospect and figure out how to be more vulnerable around others
You made a good point. I don't want to unload my emotions on anyone. I have a strong support network but I fear that if I start leaning over too much on them, they may not like it. They are close to me but isn't is just human to step away from someone that behaves in a vulnerable way? Having said that, I have been vulnerable with some of my closest friends at times. But I want to keep it limited 😊
Then what are you interested in?
I wouldn't have made this post had I known the answer to that
Sounds like she's really into Zuckerberg or really hates Zuckerberg.
