Are relationships an unnecessary distraction for young people?

That's the only way they can be defined as by being somebody who is loved. You should be happy to be single if you're not happy being you and you don't love yourself, you can't offer anything to anybody else

Are relationships in your late teens and early twenties just an unnecessary distraction when your focus should be on building your future?

We want to be in relationship, and some of us want to be in relationships with many people, and others just want an exclusive relationship. Relationships are important, we will say that. And for young Indian teenagers, it is heavily important because you have emotions and things happening inside your body, inside your mind right now that you have no f****** idea about and everyone around you that's older than you is not even open to talk about it

And he wants that help. But he has what I would almost call a dependency and an addiction to this relationship because it is so overwhelmingly dominant in his life that he is constantly messaging her. They talk every single night. And of course, it's a beautiful thing in so many ways. And they are learning about each other, learning about themselves in the process, but they're having no other time to focus on themselves. They are becoming dependent on each other

We have to wait for them to make that choice. All we can do is inspire and encourage. And we really appreciate you clarifying again, because that was so educational for us in this moment in terms of clarity and context. So we really appreciate it, and we hope that it continues to pan out and really reveal for him what it is that he needs to do for himself. Man, that's heavy. But thank you, Benjamin. I appreciate you taking the time

It's about finding that balance and also learning to love yourself and build yourself and be happy with who you are before feeling that the only way you can define who you are is through being in a relationship with somebody else and feeling that you cannot be happy and content and feel full unless you are in the embrace and within a relationship with another. And that's what makes me sad, that somebody cannot for example, I know somebody back in England who was always she would jump from one relationship
