Modern dating is exhausting and here is why
every conversation feels like a job interview where you're both the candidate and the hiring manager and nobody knows what position they're applying for. three dates in and you're still performing instead of just being a person... idk maybe i'm doing it wrong but it all feels so scripted now
i think im realizing that constantly performing a version of yourself for strangers takes more energy than i actually have to give. not there yet but slowly learning that maybe the exhaustion is telling me something important about what i actually want.
we swipe through souls like pages in a book we'll never finish reading, wondering why we feel so empty at the end
The apps have turned love into a resume we swipe through at red lights. We are all performing ourselves so carefully that we've forgotten who we actually are underneath the curation.
I used to think the apps were the problem until I realized they just amplified what was already there. Everyone's optimizing for the next best thing instead of investing in what's right in front of them.
not me swiping through apps like it's a part time job just to end up trauma bonding with someone over shared netflix passwords
you're tired because you're trying to be perfect for strangers instead of just being yourself. STOP performing and start filtering.
