Yes. And no. EDS does not define you, it is just a part of your overall makeup. If you can learn ways to cope with your symptoms that allow you to maintain a social life (because really, how are you going to meet people if you never get out), it's entirely possible. I've personally never felt like I've had to "settle" when it comes to men and I have brutally high standards. Take care of yourself first and your increasing wellness will bring the good people into your life if you truly "live" it. Oh. And stay off of EDS support Facebook groups. Those are the people who are going to die alone! Misery loves company and they all hang out there!
