      That's where I am. I have an AMAZING life, and it's going to take someone equally or more amazing to take me away from it. Share with someone? Sure, we all want that, but getting into a relationship just for the sake of being in a relationship is just going to lead to unhappiness and lack of fulfillment. That's the avoidant type in me. I have a great career, building a charity foundation, have a side job, traveling the world now just to take pictures (heading to Australia and New Zealand next so his accent was AWESOME :) )... I don't have time for games or someone who needs to "figure themselves out". Call me when you know who you are. I know it sounds harsh, maybe even bitter, but I've got a pretty good thing going on here. Not ready to mess it up.

And no matter how hard I tried to find someone, if the vibe isn't there, you can't do anything about it. It doesn't depend on you. It's there or it's not. It also has a lot to do with modern day society, this technology distract us too much. It's like there's lesser and lesser place for love these days.

  • @TheJeremyKentBGross
    @TheJeremyKentBGross 5 років тому +134

    I disagree. It's just that Jane Austin and Walt Disney ruined us all with unrealistic expectations about finding an ideal personal match. In reality marriage was just a convenient financial arrangement for the division of labor and bringing up children prior to technology. It was usually arranged within your social class as was deemed most beneficial to you, or more likely the family, and the community, or the kingdom. Or it was forced due to impropriety resulting in pregnancy. Both parties were more or less forced by the community, and the harshness of nature, to just make it work regardless of the quality of the match; even if he was abusive or a player, even if she ran up endless debt and continually f**ked every dude in the neighborhood other than her husband. Although small communities tended to police both parties from getting too crazy with such behaviors as it could easily disrupt the entire community.
    The idea of soul mates, personality matches, attraction, and love being a factor is mostly an extremely recent creation by idealists like author Jane Austin and the Walt Disney movies within just the last couple hundred years.
    Now that men and women aren't directly dependent on each others labor for survival, and we are rich enough from technological advances that society relaxed social and legal enforcement of monogamy, every relationship is just a luxury that can, and statistically will be, disposed of whenever it is convenient, usually by the woman as women initiate 70+% of divorces and are of higher sexual market value than most men due to being the limiting factor in reproduction.
    The reason relationships don't work anymore is because we aren't forced to make them work. Half of marriages end in divorce, about 2/3 of the "successful" ones are just held together for the sake of the kids or because it's cheaper to keep her. Only about 10-15% of "successful" marriages are actually happy. It was never about your/my/our happiness.
    Tldr, there is nothing wrong with you. We are all just to rich and spoilt and socially atomized to make relationships work anymore. The collapse of religion is also a factor, but religion itself has been failing for the same reasons.

However, I dated a guy this year for over three month and after that I see where my problem is. At first, I concentrated on his problem, and then I finally realized I have problems and they are real lol most of it stems from insecurities. And insecurities really just a by product of not loving myself. So I went on a journey of self-love! It took me little over six months of meditation, introspection to know myself once again and learn to love myself. My goal is to get to be the secure type, there is a way out so is all just time, perseverance, and mentality.

Happy and content with my life right now, I guess I’m just living in the moment. And I’m not even going to try to be someone I’m not, just for friends or lovers.

    I was dating someone who was almost just like you. Avoidance issue, living all around the world and built a lifestyle to justify his non-commitment. He was 41 and still single. Never had a long meaningful relationship. It was very hard for the both of us to try to make it work. 150 days is how long we managed.
    The relationship ended and I ended up blaming myself for the entire situation. Thank you for the video. It is refreshing to see someone like that admitting to it, trying to understand and adjust. Somehow it helped me a little to let go. Good luck :)

    Im 39 and single. Throughout my 20's, I was lucky enough to meet and date some awesome ladies. I do look back and wonder if I messed up and let someone special go. The truth is, I was immature and always thought I had my whole life to settle down with someone. Even when someone I really liked dumped me, I didn't dwell. I,m social, confident and friendly, so keep thinking one day I will meet that special someone. I think if you go looking to hard, you will end up with the wrong person. Im 40 next year. Where did the time go?

    I took a step back at 36 and saw a landscape full of attractive but with "ugly personalities." I stopped dating at 16 because I wanted to graduate High School on-time. As I've gotten older a stability was there but I wasn't grasping it. My dad asked why I chose to stay single but at the time I just did not have words for an answer. Unfortunately, I found that answer weeks before he died unexpectedly an ocean away.

    32 and I stopped looking for a girlfriend about 4 years ago due to moving back into my parents after a bad house share experience. Since then, I have been saving for a home and have been without transport to cut costs:- I felt that sacrifice to save made my situation unpractical to date at the time. I did a lot of jet setting and travelling in my mid 20's until covid as well, but I am increasingly feeling I need to start dating and settle down at my age. Not so much fun anymore, everyone my age in my town is paired off and on the weekends I'm becoming increasingly isolated in young bars as I'm too old for the student crowd now and am ending up drinking to excess in older social cliques.

Doing this already makes you less avoidant. Good luck!

    I don’t like this idea that being single is a problem. It’s not a problem. Most people are in either co-dependent or in toxic relationships. I find it that most single people don’t fall into these toxic patterns and they are actually looking for healthy love and fulfilling relationships. Even when I see my circle of friends, they are married either for convenience (just easier financially) or because they are too afraid of being alone. These aren’t the best reasons to be in a relationship.

    Same here. I'm 36 years old. I've dated, but never really been in a relationship. From reading these comments, I am happy to see that I am not the only one, but unlike all these brave people who are so happy being single, I very much want to be in a relationship. My problem is that I am very judgmental and as soon as a girl that I am into likes me back, I stop myself. I start judging her, and start finding all the reasons why she is not someone I want to spend the rest of my life with. And while I am overthinking and over analyzing, she leaves me, and I start regretting what I did and I go into bit of a depression and a phase of self-hate. This has happened TWICE now. And regret is not an easy thing to process. I am still struggling with it.
    And now it's so hard to meet women, and time goes by so quickly. I am trying though... what else can I do? At least I am now aware of what my problem is.

    • @marleyisms
      @marleyisms 11 місяців тому

      When you begin to find yourself being judgmental, think about the last two instances, how it made you feel, and change your thought process from being judgmental to one of grace and mercy. Embrace the imperfection in the individual, as none of us are perfect. Focus on the goodness of the person, the qualities that attracted you initially (unless the bad outweighs the good, of course). I have a habit of self-sabotaging and talking myself from moving forward with good prospective partners who genuinely cared about me. Keep trying. Put yourself out there. Even alone. The right woman will find you. No one will ever find you hiding in your home all alone. Be well, and best wishes.

    Thanks a lot for this video! It is one of the most realistic assertions on this topic that I have seen. I also got to similar conclusions lately. When I was young, I was more of the anxiety type, mainly due to family issues while growing up. I have become wiser and life experiences brought me to the secure type of person. Now what happens is that I attract too many avoidance type of persons., therefore, same age as you, still single. I guess there is something more to learn here :) Keep up with the videos and all the best!

    Wow. I think I've been a combo of anxious and avoidant, yikes. I spent a period alone and now I believe I'm the secure type. Human behavior is so interesting, we are blessed that once we "know better, we can do better." Another great and informative vid!🙌

      Hello. Thank you for sharing this video with/for us. I am from Romania and for sure the attachement problems are universal, like the emotions are. I am not sure wich type I am, but in the funny way, I was single most of my life...like they said, maybe we are over qualificated for a true relationship :))).

    I'm the anxious avoidant one. I hate getting close to anyone for the fear of being hurt. The problem is me and always blamed the other person. But now I know it's me and the lack of trust I have in people. It's stems from my child hood where both parents were always fighting, I was thrown from pillar to post around the family. My mum never hugged me or told me she loved me and grew up thinking it was normal. So with relationships in my past I've ran away from them before I get too hurt. The only things I got right in life and knew couldn't be taken away are my 5 beautiful children whom I absolutely love and adore. Both my marriages broke down because of the fear of intimacy, my 1st marriage was violent I was only 18 that ended really bad. My 2nd marriage was lacking communication both ways it lasted 11 years how I'll never know. We were always fighting verbally because of this. I've had a few relationships since then but I've always ended them as the fear of getting close was dreadful and the other stuff forget it. I've been single 3 years now and intend to stay that way forever. I'm working on my insecurities but to open my heart to any man frightens me

    Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you NOW it means you're pretty sexy and you're taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with

    I am luckily the secure type. That’s why it’s easy for me to meet women. Whenever a woman is not into me, it’s nothing personal. I also don’t mind being alone and independent. Never could understand why people needed others too much. It’s because I come from a loving family. I know I will have a girlfriend in the future, but it has to be mutual interest. I also have a great group of friends instead of relying on quantities of friendships. It’s all about quality and having a good time in life with people that are simply good.
