Valentine's Day Crisis

I'm a mediocre software engineer in Bangalore who's content with his career and comp, for the time being and is nearing 28 years age. As the title of the post suggests, I've never been in a healthy relationship in my life and I feel so void and insecure when I see couples pda-ing at Church Street, Lalbagh Garden etc. The situation aggravates during Valentine's week. This all would sound funny, but I'm tussling with this thought in my mind for quite some time.๐Ÿ˜ž

How to cope up with this situation? Need some practical advice about this. Thanks.

Personally, I fear arranged marriages ๐Ÿ˜…. Nowadays love marriages are better version of arranged marriages only, wherein the partners themselves assess their compatibility and expectations before committing, as opposed to, being thrown into the arrangement (aka "arranged marriage") by their parents, only to find themselves screwed up later, and screwing up their partner.๐Ÿ˜‘ Pessimistic, I know, but not unreal...

Love marriage = Suicide. Arranged marriage = Homicide.

The end result is the same.

You should feel lucky you don't have to see nibba nibbi shit in your life buddy, the couples you're feeling jealous of won't even stay together beyond a year or two.

No relationship is better than toxic relationship, and most Indians don't know how to have healthy relationships.

Partners come and go, work on yourself and preserve your time energy and sanity for the right one.

Reassuring words ๐Ÿฅฒ.
Thing is, even after knowing all this, sometimes I lose it.
It's everywhere around (parks, social media and so on), so much so that I start questioning myself " Is there something wrong with me, etc etc".๐Ÿ˜‘

Understandable. You are not alone my friend.
