I can't help detesting my relations. I suppose it comes from the fact that none of us can stand other people having the same faults as ourselves.

Oscar Wilde
About This Quote

The thought of having to share one's life with someone else can be quite daunting. You may be looking for a partner who shares your values, interests, and worldview, but that person isn't out there waiting for you. They're probably already in their own relationship. And if they aren't, they may not be interested in you either. If you're not interested in someone or don't want to be their partner, you can always detach yourself from them.

You don't have to be friends with them or hang out with them. You can choose to live your life without them and find people who are worth spending time with.
