20. He Had Only One Romantic Relationship Throughout His Life
No one is sure if Vincent van Gogh had a social anxiety disorder or if he was just naturally shy. However, what people do know is that he was rarely seen out of his house and didn’t have very many friends. In fact, many people believe that while Van Gogh had a few romantic interests, he only had one real romantic relationship throughout his whole life. This relationship started in 1882 to Clasina Maria Hoornik, who was not only pregnant but also had a five-year-old daughter. At the time, Hoornik struggled after her unborn child’s father abandoned the family.
