> However, a relationship isn’t an activity (like a job, hobby, or sport) to try and quit when you don’t like it.
This actually isn't true. You can quit a relationship if you don't like it for any reason. However: it does require communication, which i know some people find extremely difficult, especially communicating bad news. Basically what he is describing here is "dating."
Also: I would argue being unwilling to put yourself out there because you fear communication and delivering bad news is not as good or reasonable as the author describes.
This should not be roped into the "haha, I'm an introvert" classification, and should be considered a dangerous compulsion. And if you are self-isolating and structuring your life around it, one could even say it is an obsessive compulsion. As in OCD. As in please see a doctor, because you are already self-isolating because of this compulsion.
Loneliness kills. Isolation is literal torture for most humans. We can't let the software glitches in our brain control our entire lives.
