I'm 21 and I haven't had any relationship since 15.
Am I depriving myself much? Is love essential to life?

When we are born into this world, it is enough for us to take the milk our mother gives, the warmth our parents provide us, the diaper changes and the cuddles and the baths. We take and take and take when we are babies. Then, as we develop, we discover that other people also have needs. As a person gets older, it is normal and essential to want to give to others and help them with what they need.
Your loneliness results from a lack of self actualization (meaning: you don't feel like you are fulfulling your potential). You naturally feel the need to give but there is no one to give to.
It is totally normal to feel lonely without a loving relationship because a human being needs to give to others in order to feel good about oneself.
Are you depriving yourself of much? That depends on your goals in life. If you know your main goals in life and are ready to join up with that someone special in acheiving them, then I say you are depriving yourself. If you don't know what you want from life yet, stay the heck away from a relationship because it will most likely damage you and your "partner". In order to have a partner in anything, you need to decide what it is you guys will be doing.
Is love essential to life? Yes... love is the desire to give to others. The more your give, the more you love. The more you love, the more you live.
Keep this in mind... if you are here to give to others, you can give a lot more as a married person. You will have more opportunities as a married person to give and you will be able to give much more to others if you have a partner in the giving business.

For most people it is normal. We are a social animal that lives in groups so we do need others around us. Being alone can be just as good as being with others.
What most seem to call love is not necessary to have a good life. It is mighty nice to have though. That kind of love can come and go often so just enjoy while it is there and enjoy life when it is not.
Sure have had many different affairs over the years and enjoyed them all. I also can be just fine when there is no one around to argue with. There always is another just waiting to be with another.

Yes , but you don't have ( necessarily ) to be in a relationship ( in other words it's not an obligation to have a girlfriend or a boyfriend ) to feel complete ( , you could just spend it --- your time --- with your friends and family , sure it's family/friendly love but it's love nonetheless )

It is normal to feel lonely but you get used to it, a relationship it's required because you partner is like your mirror you can tell theme anything that's going through out your life but pretty soon you will find love just wait for the right moment.

You shouldn't feel lonely although it may seem like that. I think it's great for a woman or man to be able to be independent and live life on their own without a significant other. So just hang out with friends and live life day by day.

Loneliness is normal especially if you see your friends getting into fulfilling relationships. Wow, I'm not sure if it is essential, but love sure makes life more livable.

You can't live your life dependant upon another person to make you happy. You have to be happy with yourself, learn to be independant. Be your own person. If you're still lonely after a year, get a cat.

Most people need it, but if you just assoiciate your self with both sexes then you should be able to feel a little better. Just get close friend relationships.
