I don’t think I can get anywhere in life without a partner. I’m at a breaking point where I just can’t stand keeping everything to myself anymore. I have never opened up to anyone about my interests. Nobody has ever heard about my concerns for politics, history, religion, or any of the countless books I’ve read in my free time. I don’t struggle with schoolwork and yet I don’t do much outside of it.

I’m not sure how much longer I can take being introverted and keeping my thoughts to myself. At this point I think that having a strong relationship and romance is one of the greatest benefits to life, because it would not only help me emotionally by giving me confidence and building a lifelong companionship, but she would also be the key in expanding my social capital and exerting greater influence on my community. I really don’t think I could get anywhere without a gf, particularly one that’s part of a large community and extended family just as I am. Even casual sex isn’t that appealing to me anymore, I just want a permanent partnership and someone to hold every night so I don’t feel alone thinking about how shit the world is.
