Getting just a little makes it worse. At least in a sense of deprivation you get used to it but then when you get some you really notice its absence.

Hmm, i'll disagree. I've been single for over a dozen years now, and I feel like that little bit of human connection kept me from becoming even worse than I got. Better to have loved and lost, as they say. A little heartbreak is good for the soul.

Idk... Going on like 10 years now it hasn't gotten any better. It's like constantly on my mind that I'll be 40 this year and that my last relationship will more than likely be the last relationship.
