Would you like me to try and explain?: I'm not trying to be patronising here, I have some experience if you'd like me to share it.
IDK about the original regretter: but I was being glib and self depreciating.
Oh OK.: Just thought I'd ask.
IDK, it does feel a little patronizing to me to equate experience and understanding completely: there are people out there who have had a lot of sex who are woefully uneducated about it. There are a lot of people in relationships who aren't very good at them.
I have hangups about the social aspects, I guess: but I don't live in a vacuum. And you have to admit that, as OP states, a lot of our popular ideas about sex and relationships seems pretty implausible.
I never said I understood it completely: I just thought someone would like to know how it can happen.
I wasn't trying to accuse you of being a know it all: but you admit to a lack of experience and people jump in with tidbits like you're some kind of amish person only with relationships instead of technology, IDK.
Things you already know: from trying to educate yourself and from just plain living in a society obsessed with sex and love.
I guess I come down more on the reassurance side of things: it's not that I'm trying to educate, more discuss.
Yeah, I know: And my hangups, I think, have a lot more to do with a weird combo of fear, low self worth, and high pride than an idea that relationships are just impossible.
So you're saying that true love would be a: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!
I think my own problem is that I find it implausible that anyone would choose to approach and talk to me, and also that I would choose to approach anyone else.: Any new relationship seems implausible, regardless of how romantic or sexual it is or is not.
