Do you ever feel that you search for depth and connection with a person and never seem to find it?

You try your hardest but it just isn't there? I feel this way all the time and I wonder why this is what surrounds me. When your soul runs deeper it's hard to feel comfortable with a half inch of air and surface levels of vapid.

Very much so. I've felt in all my relationships that I was expecting there to be a deep connection that never seemed to materialise. I've come to realise that it hasn't been the other person's fault, it's that I've had unrealistic expectations and that what I expected from relationships isn't what most people want. What it is that most people want and seem content to have, I don't understand.

@SeekingConnection I asked myself that same question and I don't think what I want is unrealistic .

@SpiritSkye Well, I didn't think my expectations were unreasonable or unrealistic, but experience suggests otherwise. I think a lot of people either don't have much depth to their personalities, or they feel threatened if you try to find out what really makes them tick.
