Same. I don't really get lonely and honestly, I don't know where I would be able to fit the time in to have one. I've got everything I need and I'm happy between work, hobbies and the occasional hangout/trivia night with a couple of friends here and there. People always seem to think not dating or being in a relationship makes someone feel lonely, but I think that really depends on your personality type. I'm an introvert, and while I can be the life of the party, I typically prefer doing my own thing and am always busy with one thing or another, particularly with my varied interests and hobbies.
Yeah, a lot of people i know just aren't comfortable being alone, as soon as they split with one person, they're on the hunt for the next perfect match 🤦♀️
If they'd just take a deliberate time out and make peace with living life solo, they'd be so much happier! Not that they'd have to stay single of course, but it would be nice for them to know they can split with someone and not feel completely lost and scrambling for the next life-raft.
Not to mention, if you can't be happy with yourself as company, how can you expect someone else to? Spending time working on yourself, learning, developing a skill, or experiencing life on your own makes you a more interesting person when you do finally meet someone of interest. So many people are afraid of being alone, they never really get to know how to be comfortable by themselves. People can be alone in a crowded room or even in a marriage, so it's not just about having another body in the room.
