It's a fairly straightforward story about a dwarf in a renaissance italian city state. The dwarf represents man's evil nature. Mostly just observances about different characters who also represent different parts of human nature. You have the Machiavellian prince, the philosopher Da Vinci stand-in, etc.

Not ground-breaking stuff by any means, but makes for easy reading. If I had to come up with a buzzword description it would be "comfy misanthropy".

Sometimes I envy the chinese for living in a narrative which they can't think themselves out of. Some of them may hate the totalitarianism, but what they don't realize is that it's the very thing that keeps them alive and oriented. I'm not saying that it's correct or should be applied in the west, I just envy that they can live inside of an orderly illusion instead of realizing that they are an individual lost in the cosmos

Not really what's happening, there's a strong conservative reaction. However, they're both normies and brainwashed so no one cares. Normal people will continue to read the classics and engage with the intellectual tradition, mostly ignoring the mainstrem schizophrenia. Just appeasing it as much as necessary like other thinkers would do with the Church in the past. No big deal.

>From my own point of view, the fact of the Third Reich alone makes obsolete forever any question of Christian superiority, except in technological terms. White people were, and are, astounded by the holocaust in Germany. They did not know that they could act that way. But I very much doubt whether black people were astounded—at least, in the same way. For my part, the fate of the Jews, and the world’s indifference to it, frightened me very much. I could not but feel, in those sorrowful years, that this human indifference, concerning which I knew so much already, would be my portion on the day that the United States decided to murder its Negroes systematically instead of little by little and catch-as-catch-can. I was, of course, authoritatively assured that what had happened to the Jews in Germany could not happen to the Negroes in America, but I thought, bleakly, that the German Jews had probably believed similar counsellors, and, again, I could not share the white man’s vision of himself for the very good reason that white men in America do not behave toward black men the way they behave toward each other.

I hate living with roommates. One of them has just started "cooking" again. He fills a huge soup pot with, and I am not being hyperbolic, an entire bottle of red wine vinegar and then an entire bottle of regular vinegar . He then adds an entire chicken and boils it in the vat of acid he has created for himself. He calls this "stew". The smell is unbearable - literally unbearable, it gives me dry heaves and makes me gag no matter where in the house I am, and it has made me vomit twice. He leaves his stew out for days, sometimes weeks, grabbing a bowl of the increasingly putrid chicken-dissolved-in-vinegar-acid sludge and heating it in the microwave, which then becomes unsuable for anyone else because the smell lingers and permeates everything that you put in it afterwards.

He is sick constantly - once every two weeks, because his immune system is unfit for life, after he spent a long time in jail for dealing drugs. He coughs and snots on everything and leaves used tissue papers in the kitchen. When confronted, he screams like an autist, and starts muttering incoherently about how his violent jail friends would react if he told them what we had said to him. The same reaction upon putting his disgusting acid stew into the fridge after it has been out for days - he wants it to get "ripe", as he says.

I hate him. I genuinely and from the bottom of my heart hate him. He tells me proudly that he lied to our landlord about his past, present and future to get the spot instead of the other applicant, a classics student. He tells the story as if we were ever so lucky to get a brick-headed barely human literally 80-IQ retard criminal like him to move in instead of a person with actual sentience.

He is in the kitchen right now - I can hear him coughing and blowing his nose, and I can smell the vinegar. I've taken to rubbing Vicks under my nostrils, an idea I got from watching Silence of the Lambs where they do it when opening the body bag of a putrefying body. It helps some but not enough.

damn, it's been a long fucking while since I kissed a girl. why does it feel so good to press your face against soft lips? my strategy was to just slowly and gradually get more physically intimate over the course of the night. start with holding her hand, for me it's by spontaneously comparing hand sizes, autistically asserting that she has small hands compared to you, and then just not letting go. once you've got your foot (hand) in the door, the rest will progress quite naturally. if she lets you hold her hand, she will most certainly let you put your arm around her. again, personally I'd autistically state that my arm is uncomfortable and just put it around her. once you're in that state and your faces are close together, just keep trying to meet her gaze and once her eyes lock onto yours, simply hold it and slowly go in for the kill. if you're too excited you'll probably headbutt her but even then they don't mind too much, from my experience. The only thing that can really fuck it up is bad breath or body odour

I'm going deeper and deeper into mental illness and it's scary. It seems like I have avoidant personality disorder with all the possible comorbidities. It's a shameful and fearful experience. Probably developing into schizophrenia. My thinking is already quite paranoid and very disorganised. I can feel my cognitive faculties declining. Maybe there is a certain sequence of words somewhere, that would reverse my descent. Maybe i'll get so overwhelmed that my mind snaps and sends me to nirvana.I'll probably just embarass myself to death though. Can I be angry with someone?

I'm signed up to an estate site. Anyone can put up a property for rent (or sale) and it's usually done via a real estate firm, but it doesn't have to be. Everyday I go and look at properties on the site that are viable for me, and I send them a request. If I'm lucky I get invited to a viewing. Usually I'm not. After a viewing I go home and wait for the automated rejection letter that I get sent via the site. Sometimes they don't even bother with that. At this point I've probably sent about 450+ requests.

I go through emotional cycles. I start out satisfactorily coping, somewhat content. And then I start getting angry. I brood and stew in it. Then I realize my aanger is impotent. There's nothing I can do. Helplessness becomes hopelessness. Then I sink into depression, drink too much, lament life. Then I try my usual copes. Read philosophy, go to church, play therapist to myself. I'm usually able to convince myself it isnt too bad and go back to the cope phase.
Right now I'm on the anger phase. I know what triggered it. My dad goes on these camping trips occasionally and asked if I'll go and to invite a friend. I invited a friend who declined. Then I realized how few friends I actually have and will have to tell my dad i dont want to go. Ive been explaining to my dads camping buddies that I don't have a gf for years now and its just exhausting.
So now I'm pissed off about life, and the realization of my isolation is quickly pushing me into the helpless phase. This cycle has been ongoing for nearly 10 years.

Is it possible to be a good writer if I don't understand people and rarely leave my house? The way most people talk with me I know they can see straight through me, both through how I speak and physical expression, while from my perspective everyone is opaque and I don't even see some of the things in myself that people have pointed out.

Books aren't considered the supreme medium for learning, nor were they ever really viewed as such. What they are is a symbol of knowledge. Books require the mental powers of abstraction and imagination to get something out of them, both of which are skills associated with intelligence. They've also been humanity's method of preserving important knowledge for centuries. If you see someone reading a book, at best they're engaged with the important mysteries of life, but even at worst they're using some complex mental skills to enjoy something. This is why reading is so cherished in our society, and why it's associated with intelligence.

Any good writers can answer this question?
How the fuck is a man supposed to write dialogue in fiction. How do people talk? What makes dialogue sound real?
I just don't get it.
------------------
Beyond here is just be being a whinny fag, don't read further if you really don't wish to hear some faggot ask autistic questions and pseudo blog post.

How do people even socialize, does it just come naturally?
Am I the only retard who feels like they have a clown costume on most of the time they are around real people?
Did I accidentally ruin my entire life because of making bad choices in childhood, isolating myself mainly?
Am I at fault if I really don't care about people in general beyond wanting to study them from an anthropological standpoint?
And, normies reading this, how do you socialize? How does it feel, what happens?
What is even the point of doing anything when hundreds of people have been training since childhood and are infinitely better?
What is the point of existing when some Giga nigger can just make whatever you can do obsolete, or just trivialize it?

And before I get told to do a flip I intend to try it eventually.

1. everything that exists must be caused
explanation - cause and existence are identical. everything that exists exists because it is caused and all causes cause existence. the reason that everything that exists must have a cause is that existence must be caused because existence is cause.
2. reality exists.
corollary - reality has a cause.
3. if there is one cause of reality, it does not exist.
proof - assume that there is one cause of reality and it exists. then it has a cause, therefore, there are two causes of reality.
4. if the cause of reality exists, then there are infinite causes of reality.
proof - according to the proof of 3, if the cause of reality exists, it must have a cause itself, making this new cause of reality the cause of reality. according to the condition of 4, the cause of reality exists, therefore the cause of the cause of reality also exists, which, according to the proof 3, means it also has a cause, which, if the condition of 4 is true, also exists, and therefore has a cause that exists ad infinitum.
5. Therefore, there are two possibilities for the cause of reality. Either there are infinite cause of reality, or the cause of reality does not exist (cannot be said to exist, or transcends existence).
explanation - this is all it comes to. you have to pick between Ein Sof and a One principle that transcends existence itself. which one is the true principle, I have no idea how to determine.

explanation - cause and existence are identical. the cause of everything having a cause is the fact that causes cause things to exist by their nature.
2. reality exists.

3. if there is one cause of reality, it does not exist.
proof - assume that there is one cause of reality and it exists. then it has a cause, meaning there would be two causes of reality. because assuming there is one cause that exists leads to a contradiction, it is impossible for there to be one cause that also exists.

yes i already err to the side of the source of reality transcending existence and therefore being incomprehensible after reading the neoplatonists who make the One incomprehensible and transcendent of being, I just don't know how to figure out whether that is actually how reality works or if in reality it has an infinite series of causes that somehow manage to cause reality when they converge into a totality. Of course, if there were these infinite causes, then many of them would probably transcend our own comprehension as well. I will read those though

You'll be on the couch, talking, laughing. But you're talking something meaningless and you both know it. You're both just saying things so that things can be said, what's being said is not important since both of you are really thinking about the moment that is about to come. Your bodies will be close, touching. Then suddenly you'll both go silent. The games are over, now you're just waiting, feeling her weight against your body in silence.

Depends where in the world you are desu. As a general rule, old people are always happy to talk though they may be a bit crazy. That said, the crazy ones are the most interesting and the least judgemental.

If the pub is slow / empty then the bartender will usually be happy to talk to you. Not that you can't get surly bartenders, but for most they see chatting with their customers as part of the job. Just make sure its not busy and you're not holding up service.

As for young people, your mileage may vary. Some may be receptive to a stranger joining their group, while others may not. Something I do is find a group of people watching sport and ask if I can watch with them. People like watching sport in a group and if you're familiar with the sport its an instant point of commonality from which other conversations can sprout. That relies on you knowing about sport though, of course, so may not be an option.

>How do people even socialize, does it just come naturally?
Uncertainty reduction theory states that humans can't really socialize we know about one another. This is why the most common advice for socializing is to take an interest in the other person.

One of my favorite things is cultural analysis, like Tocqueville does ー probing really, really deep into a culture's mindset until you find out why they do the things they do. And I think it's an understudied discipline, because while cultural differences are exaggerated, and we can't be scientifically rigorous about this, it's also a worthwhile area of thought because we all *know* it exists, it's factually true to some extent. We know there is a huge difference between Chinese, Korean, and Japanese world-views, and even a big difference between black and white american world-views. But no one seriously tries to think about it.

Like behind every culture there is some unquestioned assumption about the true nature of the world, and it's used as a basis not just for our values but also our laws and day-to-day conduct. I think every major culture of the world has a unique one of these, and it's possible to state it in simple terms. Wish doing this became more common.

When it comes down to the heart of the matter, you're never in the right when "calling for help", are you? I don't mean in the sense of practical help and all things of that sort, but moreso in regards to matters of the "spirit", such as reaching rock bottom and being hopeless and empty and yadda yadda. For my own personal case, any words that i might use to describe my current situation and how i feel, to put it simply, come across as either a disgusting melodramatic overstatement, or completely empty words. Any attempt to communicate what is happening within me seems utterly futile, with the responses from other people putting a extra weight of guilt upon me. Either guilt from seeing others put effort into what i know i could solve all by myself ; or guilt from choosing to put myself in a humiliating position in front of others (because that's what exposing your inner "issues" really is), perhaps making it out as if it was okay to be where i am and enabling them, and being a whore for what essentially are hollow affirmations and attempts at consolation. Any talk that boils down to "it is necessary to talk about """"depression"""" and open up to others" is repulsive when applied to my own self, doesnt really bother me if someone else likes to do it. I do occasionally crave those comforting embraces, something which makes me despise myself even more, but i've reached a point where i know for sure that i do not deserve that treatment nor do i really need it.
This is the closest i've ever been to an hero'ing. Rot has spread everywhere. But that still doesn't grant me grounds to pull anybody else into this. If i talk about it i'd just be whining and bitching, and what in the world is the point of that? If I fail then it's on me and if i succeed then it's in spite of me.
Sorry for the blogpost, i just have nowhere else to go. This is pretty much the only place i trust, because in the end, i'm anon and nothing else.

dating and sex scares me, I have spent the last ten years alone, withdrawn and isolated. I feel broken.

Some girls were interested but they were unattractive, boring or both.
Whenever I find a girl interesting, the feeling is never mutual.
My grandma told me that I should lower my standards but I can't; I have far too much pride for that. I would rather be miserable than to settle for less.

I can't even get a date. Dating apps are fuckin hellscape of very little matches and when I do get them the girls don't answer the texts. Never met any interesting women through my hobbies or my friend group.

I don't get it, I'm decent looking like a 7/10 on average, take caare of my appearance, I'm in great shape, I'm educated, I have many interest.

Why the fuck am I so lonely? Why the fuck is there so little opportunities to meet women despite going out (volleyball, rockclimbing, uni). And finally, why do I always get rejected whenever I find a girl interesting?

New aquaintances are generally suprised when they find out that I am a virgin. I'm pissed off, people underrate me. I'm worth a lot more than they think and I will prove it eventually. Fuck everyone.

I have not, taking a look at this as well. Actually my favorite instances of cultural analysis so far have focused on Japan. One of them was a 4chan rant by a German guy about how he lived for year or two in Japan and slowly came to sour on it for their practice of honne and tatemae, which is essentially another example of "face culture" that exists throughout Asia. In plain terms, it's a formalized system of lying. You smile toward someone and lie to their face, not just downplaying but completely lying about your true feelings, because society says this is how you're meant to act. So when normal people go to Japan and rave about how friendly people act toward them, this is misleading since it's generally done out of courtesy - you're *supposed* to be nice to gaijin and look friendly even if you don't care. As opposed to e.g. southern hospitality in America where people are friendly to you because they have a warm outlook toward the world and strangers so long as you seem nice.

I would also be amiss not to mention a series of posts in the current Japan general on /trv/ starting from here >>>/trv/2217033
I can't confirm or deny if what he says is true, but it's extremely interesting to me since I've -never- seen this mentioned before anywhere else, and I have read a lot about Japan (and learned their language). So if this is up your alley, give it a looksie.

don't ever bring that shit up unless you're about to have sex with the girl or after sex
also, start whining less about how you can't get laid and don't know anyone and work on approaching women in the street, in coffeeshops and malls etc., once you've practiced enough it will be pretty easy for you to attract them and find someone you like to date but you gotta work

When I first kissed my gf it was at the end of a date. I walked her to her door and we hugged and laughed and talked about how good a night it was while holding hands. At one point she stopped talking and asked "Can I kiss you?" and she said yes so we smooched. I used to think it was gay and unmasculine to ask before a first kiss but honestly it was way less nerve-wracking then going in blind, not knowing what her reaction would be. Weeks later she told me that she appreciated that I asked beforehand because it made her feel a lot more comfortable with me. Not every girl is the same and somtimes a kiss comes really naturally in a given circumstance, but consider just bluntly asking to kiss her.

Spent most of today writing in my various journals. Every couple of months I clear away the entire day to just sit down and write about all that has been going on both in the real world and in my mind. It is enormously therapeutic and now that I'm done I'm feeling a bit tired and satisfied.

I recommend this practice to others. It makes me think perhaps I should write more often, rather than letting all these feelings and thoughts stew in me over months making my headspace a miserable place.

Anyhow, I feel a lot lighter now. Going to drink a beer, watch a movie, then have a joint. First joint in quite a few months too, it'll be nice.

>2. reality exists.
Wait, does it? You're skipping a hellza lot of steps. What is "reality"? I'm not even getting into relativism here. And for the sake of simplicity I'm going to going to presume "reality" is some sort of body of "real things" - would you agree? But what are these "real things"? And what distinguishes them from unreal or even fake things? Are abstract ideas like Platonic forms "real" or Newtonian laws be "real" or can only tangible and material things be "real"? What of "fake mustaches" they are material and tangible but we call them "fake" - this already opens the possibility that materials can be both "real" and "fake" simultaneously, perhaps in a multitude of ways.
So how can we be sure that "reality exists" if we don't know what it is we're saying exists?

No really I mean it, so long as you also mean it. Maybe you were being sarcastic, but if you were being serious then I am happy for you. Sex does not define you. Some of the greatest people in all of human history never had sex. But I'm not even suggesting you compare yourself to them. Who cares about them at the end of the day? My point is simply that sex is not the only thing in life. We are all our own people with our own histories and our own lives. You've got to be happy with the life that you've got. Simply enough, you've got to be happy!

for me, from my point of view, the question is why you didn't see anything, cus that's the question of whatever I'm supposed to have been worth to you. but, if I want to be nit-picky, it's also the question of what your mental state was going in. My best take on all of this is that we were two very lonely, very broken teenagers that tried to cling to eachother for a while. We had no one else. You've more or less told me and I didn't. It was cling or nothing. Bad situation. I think we tried to love one another with what we had, and we did not get close cus neither of us knew how, and neither of us had anything else. It's harder to tell what you were going through. You were so sure. I wasn't as sure. It came and went. But it's not for nothing that it's you I hoped for. It is not. I know I fucked up, or it was fucked up. I think it was more fucked up than you think. A lot more. My own sense of my own guilt is a lot weaker than you'd think by now. that doesn't belittle anyones pain, it's just that actions are by intentions. I was then am now at least as fucked as you, and vice versa, I believe. I did not make you fucked up. You did not make me fucked up. My life isn't your fault. I don't buy that your life is my fault. More like we were eachothers last straw. Last shot. Crash and burn. Then just a bunch of impossible-to-live-with pain. The reason I smoked myself fucked wasn't over you. I remember thinking of you as an oasis. When I was with you it was quiet. You are and remain the only person I've ever been truly glad to see. You are so far the only person I've ever felt safe with loving, and being loved by them. That really shouldn't be true, but I'm glad there's one. I treated you horribly first because I was immature, and then because I was fucked. I really, really hope you haven't lived your life believing you should be measured by your weight. I assume you have on some level, and I assume it's my fault, and I'm very deeply sorry for that. I've done you wrong, of course I know this. You can contact me any way if there's anything you want or any.. you have to understand though that some parts of it I don't know if I can grovel for. I did see the walls sweat blood in high school. I did fry my brain intentionally. No one helped. I did communicate. I was not human, and you know this, I've told you. Why didn't I seek medical attention? You know this. This is our history. Honestly I'm not angry at you anymore. I hated you with intensity for 12 years, but I don't think I'm angry any more. It wasn't your fault the way I thought it was. I thought you were trying to hurt me all that time, manipulate me, torment me. Really. I was very ill. All the harm I've done to you after going nuts has been about this and this alone. A long time passed. But you were not. When I stopped being angry at you I could look back and see who you had wanted to be for me. And I couldn't believe what I had lost. Finally I could see all that.

For as long as I hated you there was no loss. For as long as I hated you, you weren't really human. You weren't, you're right. I wasn't either. I remember the moment when I realized I wasn't. But you were still important to me, in ways that were wholly fucked up, as I have been to you I'm sure.

You have options. For one, the character may be unattractive and internally we see how she likes this guy or that though nothing happens (but the rest of the plot)
Or the character isn’t interested in any of the dopey or shady male characters. She’s just not looking.
You could make her middle aged, or she is married and the husband isn’t anywhere near for the events the plot.
Come up with plot first. See if you can switch the sex of the character for whatever reason. See how it works or demands something be changed.

Write what's on my mind... huh. There's a lot of things occupying my mind at the moment. Sure, most of them are tied to mental illness but amonst these there exists a particularly striking dilemma, of me and my life. I do not consider myself, by any means, fit to live, and yet I do not fancy the concept of death either. I believe I had been given one chance, and only one chance, to make the most of who I am and who I have always been meant to be, but damn is it demoralising to see everyone else's shot being better.
I have never met a single person whose life was dwindling so lowly only for him to make the impossible possible through hard-work, sheer determination and a bit of luck. Contrary to those whose lives were already great from the start, only for them to fall far from the grace and luxury they once enjoyed; it seems easy to relapse from the latter than to start over with the former, and I am ashamed to admit that I have been slumped within the pit that houses the former. I wish I could amount to something in my 30s now.

It is unfortunately true that only too often the best nations, or to speak more exactly, the only really cultured nations, who at the same time are the chief bearers of human progress, have decided in their blind pacifism to refrain from the acquisition of new territory and to be content with internal colonisation, but at the same time nations of inferior quality succeed in taking hold of large spaces for colonisation all over the globe.
The state of affairs which must result from this contrast is the following : races which are culturally superior but less ruthless will be forced to restrict their increase because of insufficient territory to support the population while less civilised races could increase indefinitely, owing to the vast territories at their disposal. In other words, should that state of affairs continue, then the world will one day be possessed by that portion of mankind which is culturally inferior, but more active and energetic.
A time will come, even though in the distant future, where there can only be two alternatives :
Either the world will be ruled according to our modern concept of democracy, and then every decision will be in favour of the numerically stronger races, or the world will be governed by the law of natural distribution of power. And then those nations will be victorious who are of more brutal will and are not the nations who have practiced self-denial.

Nobody can doubt that this world will one day be the scene of dreadful struggles for existence on the part of mankind. In the end, the instinct of self-preservation alone will triumph. Before its consuming fire, this so called humanitarianism, which connotes only a mixture of fatuous timidity and self-conceit, will melt away as under the march sunshine.
Man has become great through perpetual struggle : in perpetual peace his greatness must decline.

I'm having a bad day. I woke up early, which is good, but after that, it just went down hill. I stagnated for much of the day. It took ages for my family to figure out dinner. I faced my graduate school rejection once again and was basically told I'm retarded, which more recent indicators further deny. One of the family dogs peed on a rug right by the door where they go out. Both my sister and dad neglected to let them out. When my dad let one of them out, I nearly ran over him (dog). I then picked up my dinner, and while driving back, I saw a woman walking by the side of the road in the dark. I thought that was a bit strange, but it's a free country. Then, I turned and found a car parked where it shouldn't. There's a parking lot with a trail, but thus car was parked up by a boat ramp access. With the night, woman walking, and car parked in an odd place when much better parking was available, I called the cops to make sure she's all right. I didn't think about swinging back to check on her until I got home, which is why I called instead. I don't like calling the cops, like most people. I would prefer to check it out myself, but at that point, I was already home when my dad said I should do it, in which case I wasn't going to drive back to find her. Plus, food gets cold fast. Fuck.

I used to think I just lacked discipline.
Then I realized that discipline is only as good as the choices you make, the activities you work towards. Waste 100 hours on a shitty choice, your discipline has gone to waste too.
So then I thought I just made bad choices.
Then I realized that if the options presented are all terrible, you will inevitably make a bad choice. If you have 10 choices but they will all lose you money, then even the best choice will still cost you.
So now I think I'm not aware of the totality of opportunities available to me.
I'm very good at coming up with bad ideas, I'm very good at answering the question "What could I do?" and they'll all be ridiculous or stupid ideas of great imagination but no practicality. But I'm very bad at coming up with good solutions.
I think I need to be better at identifying where I have agency and what actions I can take, re-framing problems.
...I don't know how to do that consistently.

Forgive this regurgitation of our zeitgeist. Perhaps I'm trying to make some of my jumbled thoughts more pithy.

Many feminists do not want an equal society, but rather they resent not having status. This is best illustrated in how they do not want the responsibility of true equality.

The atheistic or secular man of today is essentially the Christian Nietzsche spoke of. They are meek and weak, lacking any good or evil ambition. They are tepid, lukewarm. I spit you out!
They think paraphilias are harmless as they themselves are harmless.

I listened to a podcast about Nietzsche and it resonated with me a bit. There's an endless amount you can say about him, but his views on those using philosophy as an escape from real life and a form of life denial really hits home. It encapsulates why philosophy and dialectic feels odd sometimes, we're talking about the most important topics in existence and yet it feels so... disconnected? Emotionless? Alien? Like philosophers have no respect for man as an animal and view the body with disgust. As if removing the "animal" aspect from man will somehow elevate him to godhood, yet not understanding that this emotional and animal side of man is essential to our nature, and any attempt to deny it is misguided.

It would probably hit me harder if I had more extensive philosophy knowledge, but even still with what I do know it's impactful. He pins down exactly why some passages in Plato feel so weird, because Plato doesn't really care about humans as they are, but more like humans as a concept.

Because of the natural need to have one's genes passed on. If one is not dating, then they are not working towards it, and the only ones excused are those working for a greater good or something like that. Although often even they get the "oh, shame he/she never married and had kids".
While relatively small percentage contemplates higher meaning, majority still works under primal instincts.

>Why is being single so looked down on?
Rightly or wrongly it is commonly a sign of irresponsibility. Statistically most people prefer to be in relationships to being single, that doesn't mean everyone wants to get shacked up, but most people do. With that in mind if someone is either constantly single or seems to drift between short term relationships one after the other, the assumption is this is a sign of them being emotionally stunted or they lack the requisite responsibility to maintain a mature relationship: i.e. selfish and immature.
Put it this way, there's plenty of selfish and immature people in toxic relationships, so if someone can't make a relationship work, they must really be toxic.
