9 Valid Reasons Why Love Is A Waste Of Time

Your entire world revolves around this special person who is in your life. But what about you? What about your choices and dreams? Thinking about yourself is not being selfish. It’s being practical.

Calculate how much time you dedicate to your phone during the entire day. During the initial stage, texting keeps you occupied pretty much all the time. Imagine how many books you could have read in that time, how many places you could have visited! You become happy with a mere text and sad if your phone doesn’t beep. It’s like your phone rules your world.

‘What does hmm mean?’, ‘OMG what did I just type?’, ‘She likes me or she likes me not?’. Questions like these confuse you to no end. You’re not sure about the ‘signs’ and you keep wondering what a certain emoji meant. And then you start overthinking, which is worse because you start complicating even the simple things.

Want to impress your boyfriend? You have to look good. So purchase that dress and that expensive makeup. Or how about buying that expensive phone for her to make her happy? Admit it. You’re broke all the time. Visiting new places, not splitting the bill, makes love quite expensive!

You order food according to his/her taste. Your wear clothes of their choice. And you are at your best behaviour and in fear that you are being judged. You also make sacrifices to make them happy. Why do any of these? Why not stay just the way you are?

What if this one doesn’t work out just like the others? Why put hopes in a sinking ship? Taking risks is great, but you must also think about the consequences right?

Compare your work life pre-relationship and post-relationship. What do you notice? If not a steady decline in your performance, then at least your work schedule might have changed. Work goes for a toss (at least for a while), when love is in the air.

Waiting for a call, waiting for a reply, waiting for him/her to arrive for the date. You’re just always waiting. Waiting for endless hours becomes a norm, which gives a break to your fast pre-relationship life.

Friends don’t exist anymore. You don’t know how to react when they say, “girlfriend mili toh friends ko bhool gaya!”
