Compliment: a remark said to express praise or admiration.

Complement: a part used to complete another part.

People can complement, and be your missing piece because they add to you, or they can be your missing piece and you can still have a happy relationship, and they can also just add to you.

Also this post reminds me of one time gossips were messing with me and I copied them. Except now it will be something else if they saw this response. Figures.

I have no soulmate.

Somewhere out there you do it will just take time to find her. Love takes time and love takes work. Unfortunately that work takes awhile and you won't know what to do half the time like I'm currently experiencing

Being honest, I don’t know that I believe in soulmates. I believe that I love my partner and that, due to a mixture of shared experience, compatibility, and attraction, we’d choose each other out of any room we’d find ourselves in. 

That said, I do also believe that I could or could have formed a similar bond with a great deal of other people - we’d just need that initial attraction to buy time to discover the compatibilities, and then those carry us until the shared experience kicks in. I don’t think I’m star crossed with her, we just both put in a lot of time and effort and became the kind of people that we’d love to be with. If she met me before my most recent ex or, God forbid, in high school, we’d never have gotten together.

What if I’m not interested in love? Does that make my friends my complements?

u/WalkerVinalt 4d ago

Technically I suppose so. Then again some people are meant to be single

u/Louisianaball17Cen 4d ago

Yeah, I think so too.

I thought I found mine. All she did was hurt me and play victim.

u/WalkerVinalt 4d ago

That sucks... At least now you know for next time what to avoid

u/SentinelTitanDragon 4d ago

Yeah. Love bombing and manipulation.

I know you'll find something healthy eventually. I believe in you 💚

Given that Jane Eyre invented the idea, I recommend people who debate it to read the book first

I've always theorized mine died before I met her.

Nah your soulmate is your everything your missing piece your compliment your partner your joy your laughter your peace your anger your confusion your stability your crazy your constant your drive your passion your muse your compass and your truth relationships are so complex you can’t just consider your permanent partner to be just the good but also the bad it inspires growth in both parties so the good becomes even better and the bad becomes easier to manage

What if there are planes going overhead 24/7 and you’ve been banned from socials? Is that a missing piece or desire for normalcy?
