Romantic movies are horror films to me. I can’t stand watching them. They make me want to slit my wrists. I don’t need to be reminded of what I am missing. This loneliness is enough as it is. Would you make a starving African kid watch a movie about banquettes? It would be cruel to do such a thing. Spent my whole life trying to look like a movie star to deserve the love I saw on TV, but I was very mistaken. Once my dark energy, my negativity, my complexity, my lack of self esteem, my constant depression and my bipolar behavior  suddenly appear, men run away. I want to run away too but I am stuck here and can’t scape from myself! I have spent the last few days looking for depressing movies that have no couples in them and please not even sex! Just wish I had the courage to have this horror movie end.

I know of a few. kevin smiths “vulgar” is one of the only non military/horror films that shows no romance, and its pretty depressing. john carpenters “the thing” has an all male cast, i guess there is no romance cause they didnt want to be seen as homosexual. not that depressing though. Men Behind the Sun shows no romance at all and is severely depressing because it is based on facts and live animals are killed in the movie for entertainment and also there is footage of a young boy donating organs while he’s alive (stock footage used) . your best bet is military/horror.
I hear ya. I always stick to Law and Orders and stuff because you’re right, most movies involve a couple or love interest or promiscuity, and it is painful to watch if you’re alone and miserable. I suffered like that for many, many years. But if it’s any consolation I am married now, and while we dated, most of my depression didn’t rear its ugly head. I never thought it would happen to me, but I did come across someone normal who was genuinely into me, and I didn’t mess it up. However, the D is starting to come back now, 2 years into marriage, full force. But at least now there’s someone who I can think about who may prevent me from breaking all the way down and ending it. Try to hang in there…
Same here. Not to brag, but im not a disfigured mutant, (not that theres anything wrong with that) but once females see how weird dark and manic depressive i am they flee.
