I’m happily single, but why do I get these yearnings to be with someone?

[Anonymous]

I have days where I want to be with someone but I’m trying to get rid of those feelings. But, it’s really hard.

It’s very natural for people to want companionship and intimacy. You can try to fight this, but you are fighting a deeply ingrained biological drive. I think if you want to be single, then it is important to have a mission in life to which you can be single-mindedly devoted. The main way this was done during most of Western history was through monasticism, academics, nursing (when being single was a requirement), or military orders. Being single has been disassociated with all of these professions except monasticism, which has faded to obscurity. But perhaps you can channel your energy into a cause about which you are passionate. Simply working the corporate job and living alone is not apt to be enough to avoid wanting more.

We are made that way and book of Genesis will tell you details as part of Eve's curse was always to long for a man. Clearly, as in your case, this curse is a part of our life. Adam got it too but a sense of wholeness is different.

I got a solution but, just a quick question, are you thicc?

[Asker]

I wouldn’t know what you would consider thicc.

Like are you curvy? you got cake? Can you clap, no hands?

Well if you start to like someone. Then maybe you want someone.


But you do you. It’s your life and not hint wrong with wanting to be single

I think it's a thing called companionship kinda like wanting to have friends to talk to and share things about themselves personally like having a best friend but someone you can hold and love and care for also known as a partner, I think sometimes people forget that your SO is really you're best friend that you can trust and love with through thick and thin

Humans are not meant to be single and isolated. You can pretend and lie to yourself that you can and you want to, but you cannot physically and mentally go against human nature, it is ingrained in us.

Your psyche has learned to love your solitude, but your heart is fighting back. Sometimes the latter lands a strong punch, and your mind is knocked unconscious for a bit.

Sometimes you just gotta weigh the pros and cons of relationships and decide what makes sense for you.

[BloodCursedDeviant]

Not to sound rude or anything…but you sure you don’t just want dick?

[Asker]

I’m sure

[In_Trance]

Because there's part of you that's dying to be in a relationship

[Cassie2002]

It’s that time of year you see others.
