The Self Loather

There seems to be a new phenomenon that I just can't seem to figure out.  I've seen it on multiple social sites.  And it's quite disturbing.  I'm not sure what the clinical term for it is, but I call it Self Loathing.  And I must admit, I don't like it.

This happens occasionally from the most common of folk.  Now, I don't wanna sit here and name call, but it is what it is.  Why do some people go to social sites and proclaim their loneliness?  Is it a cry for sympathy, or are you truly looking for love?  Or in some cases, lust.  I know that relationships can be difficult, whether you're being discreet or very public.  But it truly boggles my mind when I see people post about their lack of sex life.  Or how they can't find a mate.  I mean, are you presenting yourself as someone that would be wanted by another person?  Are you willing to change what hasn't worked in order to make it work with someone else?  Are you looking in the right places?  I only ask because, I just wonder what do you plan to get out of your public cries about it.  Some people have chosen to NOT be with anyone else until they're ready, and that's cool.  But for the one's who are actually actively looking, I don't get it.  I've tried to be quiet about it but, it happens so much that I've been forced to come back to blogging just to express my confusion. 

I hate to engage in Twitter warfare or FaceBook post backs, because I usually don't get the answers that I'm looking for.  That's not even the reason for this particular post.  I just know that I can't be the only one who sees people posting about not getting sex and says "why not?"  When you put up those posts, does it work?  I just wanna understand the reasoning as to why it's done.  No offense to whoever does it.  I just don't get it...
