Being in a relationship to avoid feeling lonely

I don't think it is entirely wrong to seek a relationship because you feel lonely. Being in a relationship with the right person is a loneliness buster that's for sure. But remaining in a relationship that isn't right because you are afraid of being lonely is where you can do yourself some damage mentally and will end in tears at some point.

I think people seek friendships and relationships for many different reasons, but it does all boil down the fact that humans are social creatures (even introverts!) that thrive on social interactions and the company of others.
