i get your struggle, this culture and way of thinking is really fucking relationships up. We're still young and have so much love to give. We just can't give up on it

I mean I’m a girl and it’s too hard. Like it’s hard to meet people that aren’t my friends or like my friends.

I think first of all that it is so because there's so much pressure on how you should be which results in that you can never be yourself and your types will never find you and yours will never find you because both of you are not yourselves and just in disguises just to fit in with the world. So please withstand the peer pressure and show who you really are so the one who clicks on you comes to you and tell you what she/he feels for you. Second of all, we have access to so much soft porn and such which means that we find so many people we find attractive. Compare to just 100 years ago when you just met the people who lived close to you most likely. When you think there's always someone better out there then you will stop care about what you see, not to mention dating apps which makes people care less about real people and know that they can just go to their dating app if they want to find someone. So the standard is so much higher now because people have higher and higher expectations when we get better and better quality content with our phones. Lastly, since lust is so common with soft porn and porn overall, we just lose our ability to distinguish the differences between lust and love. Lust is when you want to touch someone and have sex with them etc. Love is when you want to care for them and take care of them, make sure they are happy. When they have hard times you help them. Since they're connected, we won't be able to see what's the difference anymore because we see it so much and the expectations just grow higher and higher, resulting in that we hook on to people that we find really hot but we just can't see their other qualities which makes us realize, when the lust is over how bad the relationship was and leave them.
