On this note… I “gave up trying” for like, nearly 18 months…
Probably one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made, in hindsight. Maybe not for everyone, but for me, not “trying”, and not “putting myself out there”, was actually really detrimental to my psyche and my life…
It’s better to try and fail than to not try at all. From extensive experience.
Obviously desperation is bad, but I think being isolated, single and alone is actually much worse…

Is it? I'm pretty sure you can make a pretty good life for yourself being single. Now ask yourself: would this one make my life better, or worse?
'Not being single' should not be a goal. There's plenty worse than that. Realizing that should cure you of any desperation.
