But is this getting more difficult everyday because this need thing is being crushed or determined to be detrimental by others opinions which suck badly.
For those who have been abandoned by or never experienced real love, it can seem like BS (doesn't exist).
Some so-called "friends" end up being either liars (false "friends") or users (a "take only" relationship). If one has but a few friends and they all fall into these categories, then any friendship can seem like BS (unobtainable).
Every person has a deep-seated need to love and be loved (want and be wanted). When, in one's life, love is lacking and/or friends betray, the result can be soul crushing (even more so if it's consistent). Sadly, it can hurt so deep that it causes some to give up (stop trying). People don't realize (or don't care) what effect their actions have on others (to uplift or discourage).
Sadist love song in the World is the song This Flight Tonight by Nazareth. Because in that song the guy say’s “sometimes I feel that love is just mythical”. Unicorns might be mythical but love is not. Cheers!
