Just curious how many people have been in a relationship compared to those that have a college degree. I find the former to be much easy with SA than the latter.

Been in two relationships dont have a degree

 

[Squirrelevant]

Been at university for a total of two years. I've dropped out and changed my degree once in that time due mostly to problems with SA. Now I'm back at uni and struggling again. Never had a relationship.

Both are total impossibilities for me.

You're missing the option "Still in college and has been in at least one relationship"

I messed up on the wording. Thats the "I have still in college and am in a relationship" option.

 

[Lisa]

have a degree + been in relationships

Oh, I see. I thought you were referring to those who in college and in relationship right now.

I can't see what's socially difficult about college -- it was a breeze, nobody pays any attention to anyone, just sit back and watch the lectures in silence. So much better than high school where everybody knows you and pesters you. Maybe it's an agoraphobia thing, or something that only affects you if you have friends asking you to do stuff? Anyhow, I got my degree and no relationship.

I have no college/university degree, but I am in a relationship.

During my (truncated) college career, most of my courses involved small class sizes: usually 15-20 students, with the expectation of participating in class discussion on a consistent basis. It was very difficult, socially, though I was a dedicated student. I also found it excruciating to live in a dormitory, and tried to hide away as much as possible. I wasn't able to finish my degree, and it had nothing to do with an inability to do the coursework, but rather an inability to handle the social aspects of college, which are considerable.

Forgot that a lot of people have to move out to go to college (and can't afford a private place) -- living in a dorm would be hell.

The amount of class interaction seems to vary considerably by major.

So, it's not a level playing field. Some ways of going to college are a lot easier than others.

College degree, but no relationships

 

[whiterabbit]

I have a degree but have never been in a relationship. My degree was definitely easier than I would find a relationship. Or a friendship even.

 

[Canadian Brotha]

Well I mangled my vote but I've been in a short lived relationship & don't have a degree

 

[WineKitty]

Not sure what one has to do with the other?

But for me, no degree several relationships. My husband has a degree though and has also had several relationships throughout his life.

 

[WineKitty]

Wait a minute...Nubly were you drunk when you posted the options?? :lol Where is the I do not have a degree but have had relationships option?? :con

 

[copper]

Earned a 4 year degree and never been in a relationship. It didn't help moving from job to job and then out of state.

 

[DuncanThaw]

Where is the I do not have a degree but have had relationships option?? :con

I was kind of wondering the same thing...

 

[Zephyr]

Have a degree, no relationships. I don't see that as an option.

School's easy. Everything else = hard.

 

[anonymid]

Master's degree, been in a couple relationships (though currently single).

 

[UltraShy]

Have degree; have no relationship.
