What's with the constant 'woe is me' posts here with every 20 something year old declaring they're giving up on love/dating/relationships because of a setback here and there?

It's a bit too dramatic, no? Lol

I read those posts with utter amazement really, amazement at how a person who's barely a bonafide adult and who still has miles to go can give up so easily.

Let's get it together this year babes.

Rejection happens and believe it or not, you probably will face tons of it before things will finally align. That doesn't mean you should throw it all away, stop making any effort, hide from the world, grumble and sulk.

I promise it gets better, trust the timing of your life and don't be too consumed thinking about this one goal that you forget to live your life to the fullest. (Insert other clichè motivational jargon here)

Edit: Its not my intention to be insensitive.

As someone who didn't have a boyfriend until 23 years old, had that end miserably as well as faced my own share of rejection, embarrassment and so on.. I do know a thing or two.

It still goes without saying that not having a relationship in your 20s or unsuccessful dating attempts shouldn't deter you from living life fully or be a source of constant worry or sadness.
