People don't want to live in relationships—they want to survive, or feel safe. Comfort zones, convenience, lies feel safer than truth. Known feels safer than unknown. Exposed to truth—new partner, honest vulnerability, real intimacy—they see threat to comfort, identity. Fight back. Fight truth, newness, beauty, now, life. Die a little. Hold inanimate routines. Dating stays superficial, safe. Real love demands risk, growth. Most choose stagnation over alive connection.
