Do you wish to not desire love?

r/

It seems that love is often more damaging than benefiting in my own experience. Every time I try to love it just ends up hurting me and leaving me worse than where I was before. It’s hard for me to actually fall in love with someone, so when I do it sucks how it never works out. I feel lazy to try again, and I just want to not desire love. I feel weak when in love. It means that all my happiness depends on one person, and that just makes me feel weak and vulnerable. I came to the conclusion that not trying would be the best thing. Sometimes I just wish to not desire love or connection so that I can live alone peacefully. Does anyone else feel that way too?

    Fuck no. I’m human, not a robot, and I don’t desire a “nice” life, I desire a good one. 

    Way too many people these days yearn for a zero- conflict life, but that ain’t living.
