I'm Not Sure I Believe In Soulmates

I've never believed in the idea that there is a "soulmate" out there for everyone, and I never will. People often speculate that the reason I think this way is because, I've never found anyone. And to some degree they're right. When your 24, and your love life is basically non existent, it becomes harder to believe in the idea of "soulmates", but that being said, it's not the only reason why I don't believe in them, I'm well aware that I'm still way too young to be able to play the "forever alone" card. The bigger reason why I don't believe in them is because the idea just seems too far fetched to me. Like I'm supposed to just do my own thing in life, and then one day, out of nowhere, I'm supposed to just magically meet the girl of my dreams. Right, seems pretty f*cky if you ask me. Sure this sort of thing happens in fairy tales, and in love movies all the time, but life isn't a fairy tale, nor is it Hollywood. And just because some people have met the love of their life in odd, and unexpected ways, doesn't mean that all 7 billion people on this planet are going to experience that same fate. If there really is that "special someone" out there for everyone, then why am I reading countless stories and comments on here about people who have been single, and lonely their whole lives, and no I'm not talking about the stories and comments written by 15 year olds, (of course they haven't found anyone yet, they're 15 for f*ck sakes). No I'm talking about the people in their 40's, 50's, and 60's. And why am I reading articles about a 105 year old virgin? Why do divorce rates continue to climb? I'll tell you why, because "soulmates" don't exist. To me this whole idea that we will all find that "special someone" one day, is just false hope. It's nice to think that we'll all find that "special someone", but you what, not everyone will. There's a reason why so many people say: "Life isn't fair". Because it isn't. The way I see it, there's 3 possibilities to someone's love life: Some people do find that "special someone", and their relationship lasts until the day they die. Some people find love, but it doesn't last, and they keep going in and out of failed relationships until they give up, and die alone. And others, just end up alone their whole lives, sometimes it's intentional, and sometimes it's because that person is either too ugly, too stupid, too shy, or has too many bad qualities, or all of the above. Either way, some people just don't have it in them to experience love. I know that sounds kind of harsh, and I'm not trying to make fun of them, I'm just saying they exist, because life is a b*tch that way. And as long as life continues to be a b*tch, (which it always will be), then there will never be a "soulmate" for everyone.

I understand where you're coming from. I don't think soulmates exists either. I think it was created for normalizing purposes. The normal human beings would have that single goal (in relationships, for reproduction) which is to find the person that they are meant to be with. I think that's why some look down on those who prefer to be single etc., because it isn't normal. And yes, it is false hope that ultimately hurts people. Sad.
