*I'll pretend like these are the reasons I'm still single.*

[shaked]

Low self-esteem, depression, pessimism.... I FELT THAT

In order for a complex, deeply emotionally invested relationship to occur, professional advice cites that your potential partner needs to be capable of:
- never giving you up
- never letting you down
- never turning around and deserting you
- never making you cry
- never saying goodbye
- never telling a lie and hurting you

i love having crushes, but the second i find out they like me back. i get so nervous and scared, that i wanna end up rejecting them. i just can’t handle it.

[alexs]

I've been on both sides and it hurts regardless of the role. It hurts to know you like each other but they can't enter the relationship and it also hurts to have to turn someone down because you just aren't capable of giving them the love they deserve.

Girl: I like you

Boy: Let's get in a relationsh-

Girl: You're like a brother to me

[freespirit]

Met a guy who had just about all these problems. After watching this video I realised there was nothing I could have done to change his mind.

[couch_philosoph]

I totally understand when someone isn't ready. But i gotta admit, it hurts with time. Especially when they first act conpletely differently and only realize it after a while. The last two guys i had strong feelings for both said i would be such a great gf and they truly like the person i am. I know it's not my fault, but deep down, i feel i am getting more and more insecure.

[pichulita]

I'm falling in love with these animations and this voice is so relaxing. Great video !

*TOP 3*
- They show a track record of jumping from one relationship to another, without any space in between
- They are very intense at the beginning and show too much affection, which indicates clinginess
- They still have exes in the background, lurking and distracting, which means that the person has unfinished chapters

"If you are suffering from low self-esteem, depression, or pessimism..."
Me: aight, imma head out

[animangalover]

I tend to look back on my last relationship with regret. He was a great guy and I knew I wasn't ready for a relationship, I just didn't know why. Thankfully were still friends but the self loathing is still there. I really needed to hear some of these points, it helps me realize I'm not a bad person because of it. Thank you psychtogo <3

[larryp]

These are actually the reasons why I’m single.

I don’t want to play mind games.

[badcop]

I swear this channel uploads videos that are relevant to what's happening in my life at the time, y'all stalking me? 👀

[gmblin]

I don't wanna date out if the fear that if something goes wrong, I'll lose that person, and I'm not ready to take those risks. I feel so happy when I know someone likes me back, but then I just freak out, and I really wanna try to date but I don't know how without overthinking everything :/

[savpal]

Really hard pills to swallow, that’s why I believe true love has to be rare and magical, there are so many layers to find out and to handle, most people get lost. It’s just so heartbreaking and discouraging

[antipainK]

Me: I love you
Her: For me you're just a friend. *goes away*
Me: Mum?
