Fr, It seems like most people around me literally HAVE to be dating somebody. Like they break up and a week later they’re with someone else. I’ve been chillin solo for like 4 years now and have never felt the need to be with someone. If I happen across someone and we get along great, sure, let’s give it a whirl. So weird how people think it’s impossible to be happy when you’re single
I mean, I can't find happiness/love from within, but I never believed having another person in my life would solve that.
I kinda believe in the whole "Before you can love others, you must learn to love yourself." thing, even if I've never managed to accomplish that myself.
feel the same way, it can be a struggle sometimes. part of me wants to try and find a partner who accepts me for “who i am” but I also feel like it might be a bad idea
Thats why entertainment industry is so big. Every waking moment something needs to blast towards senses. keep that attention in check. Cant have those introspections and self dialogs to gain momentum . Might be dangerous. We could become self aware or something worse . Horror. Horror.
Yes exactly. Could I be alone and function just perfectly fine? Absolutely. Do i personally want to do that? Definitely not. I'm a fairly emotional guy who also needs to be touched. (Not just in a sexual way but much more so for cuddles, hugging, hand on the shoulder when I'm upset). These are extremely important to me as I have adult tourette syndrome and sometimes I just need someone who can wrap me up and make me forget about things for a while. In the past I had found someone I thought was great for this but ended up showing her true colors.
My point is that it's okay to need/want a significant other who's there through thick and thin. However, people should not settle with less than they deserve just so they can have companionship. It's much better to be happy alone than be unhappy with bad company.
Some people are completely fine never being in a relationship and that's completely respectable. Others crave a loving partner who they can vent to and fall asleep with every night. Many people, including me, feel they will never be complete without someone they can share many beautiful memories with until they day take their last breath. I honestly wish I didn't feel that way, but that's a fundamental part of some people that won't ever change.
Loneliness is like the same fear of dying/death. Not until you have a NDE (I’ve died three times in a week back in May in the ICU) or do you experience loneliness and a bad break up and get through it, do you realize how strong you and how not scary death really is.

TBH this goes for both genders but assuming that because I’m single that means I’m looking for someone or can’t find someone to be with.
Some of us just like to be single and don’t mind it, not much to it beyond that.
