Every couple that kisses, holds hands, hugs, talks, and heck, even walk with each other makes me sad and jealous. I am someone who wasn't hugged at all as a kid, only hit, poked, and dragged; a mere embrace brings out feelings of unhappiness for myself.I wish I could get rid of this needy desire (and be unaffected by public displays of affection), since being needy makes it only harder to get a relationship where that sort of contact can be received.
Is there anyone out there that has/had this who fixed this problem?
I used to be a lot happier with my cats, but they passed away and I moved to a place not pet friendly. Volunteering for animals might be a solution I am willing to try, though.
I think in this day and age of social media, everyone gets easily jealous, whether it's relationships or not. A LOT of people put on the "my life is perfect" facade, but NOBODY has a perfect life.
Heck, I just had a couple of friends get married a few years ago (HS Sweethearts at that) and everyone squealed about their perfect marriage and perfect relationship. They were very doting in public, posted plenty of pictures to instagram, gushed about their vacations, got a dog, etc etc. The guy told her recently he cheated, never wanted to marry her, and wants OUT. None of us saw that coming. None. Of. Us.
I'm not saying everyone is "fake" happy, I'm just saying everyone has their issues. I think of my relationship as extremely happy and healthy, yet my boyfriend and I were just talking the other day about the hardest times of our relationship, and there have been several. We just don't advertise it to the world since it's not their business. A lot of people only see us at our best.
My relationship is a huge part of my life, if not the best. However, it is just that, a PART of life. It is completely fine that you may/may not have one, or would feel more fulfilled serving animals in need. There are other ways of life, and that's fine. One of my aunts has never dated. She's a lovely woman, but I think she is more asexual and is just looking for someone to pass the time with than an actual romantic relationship. Not saying this is the case for you, but I believe there are many ways of living and no one is the "right" way.
Should you be jealous? No. Relationships are great when they're great, but they are a lot of work and nobody is ever perfect, or perfectly happy at all times. Concentrate on making YOU happy. If you find yourself wanting or yearning for a romantic partner, then maybe you need to examine why you can't establish a connection with anyone. If you don't want it, don't force it.
Nope, I was reading that fewer than 30% of women are willing to do what I like in bed and the hotter the woman with more options you see on some guys arm the lower the probability that she is doing the truly kinky stuff in the bed room. Sure there are some guys that have the hot blond who does it all in bed but those guys usually have ALOT of money and even then you see guys like cloony getting taken to the cleaners so no I don't get jealous.

You really need to get out more too and find some new friends who are more educated to assist you in the ways of life.
Happy couples don't make me unhappy or envious, despite some pretty wicked relationship woes in the past and present on my part. They've got their crosses to bear too, I'm sure.
Going around telling yourself you're unhappy because of external circumstances you can do little about (i.e. other people's happiness, in this case) is destructive.
This is humorous, but I believe it illustrates my point:
Jealous? Never. They've got my respect. Life has its ups and downs, and to hate on somebody else's ups while you're down does nothing but prolong your down. Fact.
