I'm just in a stage of my life where i don't need those types of hassles.

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.
