I Don’t Know How All of Us Can Recover

I don’t feel motivated to have a romantic partner.

I speak about my own life when I say that I have never met a man who has spoken to me like I know anything.

Why do I keep meeting men who think they know better than me about everything is not something that can be explained.

Just a harder tone of voice makes me see red.

I have become bad-tempered over the years from encounters that I didn’t wish to receive.

I only speak from my own perspective when I say that I honestly don’t see that men treat women well and I don’t understand why. I have not grown up in an environment where men have treated women like they have any value.

I can’t help but let my observation of unemployed men and men who are in unstable employment around me affect how I see them. I am not one to generalize a group of people but I sincerely admit once again that I have never met a nice man.

I write this not to discourage anyone from dating but to see if anyone else knows what I mean.

Has it ever felt like every person that you have gone out with has hurt you in the end?

Has it felt like you can’t meet one decent person?
