Oh the LoveJunkie. Jumping from relationship to relationship, spending minimal time alone, prone to cheating, both emotionally and physically. The LoveJunkie needs to have multiple options open at all times and rarely leaves one partner without securing the next
Sounds like a goddamn fucking bitch. Or bastard if you prefer.
Until Today, I have not written anything personal. Let’s change that right now. I’ve got a confession for you:
I’m a certified, 100%, in the flesh LoveJunkie.
I’ve been in a relationship since the summer before high school. That would be fuckin adorable, if it was with the same partner. It’s not. I like to think I hide it well. To the outsider, there’s about a month or so between partners. And after that month, the new “relationship” is never official, which makes them see much more casual to the outsider, sometimes they even come across as plutonic. In reality though, I was already lining up the new partner before I left the current one. GROSS DISGUSTING SLUT BITCH, etc, I know I know I know I know. I told you, I’m a LoveJunkie.
Today, I want to clear up a common misconception. LoveJunkie’s are often looked up to as the people who are attractive enough to always have a partner. Sounds conceded, but I’m not sure how else to phrase it.
Here’s the thing: STOP looking up to LoveJunkies. We have a major flaw that you should never, ever envy: We’re scared to be independent.
The idea of not having a partner, or potential partner, or simply the attention of someone who is interested in me scares the shit out of me.
Who will go to the movies with me? Whose my date for this weekend? I have to sleep alone at night? Who’s going to tell me I look pretty?
LoveJunkies are in love with the idea of love. (definition of love in this case- constant verification that we’re loveable) We don’t particularly care if we’re in love with our partner, but they are the key to our dreams.
LoveJunkies come in lots of forms:
-Girls who’ve had boyfriends since 6th grade
-Boys who sleep around
-Those who still talk to ex’s
-Some Plutonic Friendships can fill the void
and of course
-Cheaters
I’ve entered the land of rambling, but I mostly just want to get this across:
Single people often stare jealously at couples and don’t realize that the couples often wish that they were strong enough to be independent, single people who can wait patiently for the right person to come along.
