The majority of humans can't be happy single true or false?

[ChicoFromThe305]

I didn't believe this much until I saw videos of people asking people that you'd expect to be happy single like prostitutes, onlyfan people, players, escorts etc. They asked a specific question, they asked do you plan on being single your whole life? and they all said no which I think means that all human brains are wired to crave company no matter their situation, now these people might struggle finding valid partner later on but that's besides the point of my question because personally I'm not saying I'm happy being single, I'm just at peace with it, which is completely different, as a single person happiness can be way more limited than a relationship and it led me to this question True or False? 🤔

True

False

There's this notion nowadays that you need to be happy before getting into a relationship, and to me I think that's absolute nonsense. It's also creating this movement of people that don't even desire relationships, because they think they're happier without them and don't have to deal with any emotional pain that comes with relationships.

However, I would say happiness stems from experiencing things with loved ones, whether that's family, friends, or lovers. When you're old and alone, while all your peers have families of their own around them, children and grandchildren, and family events to go to, you will truly feel the weight of loneliness and come to regret it.

The reason people tend to give up on finding love (from my observations) is they don't think they'll find someone with the same mindset as them. But I genuinely believe that no matter how happy you are on your own, what brings true happiness is sailing through life together with loved ones and it should always be what you seek.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Fair enough

[NathanDavis]

I've always been happy while single... but that's usually been a shorter time, but it is also true that I've been much more happier in relationships too

and eventually I'll be there again, undoubtedly... I just don't hurry to seek either... I just let these things happen "naturally"

[ChicoFromThe305]

So what did you vote for cause I'm genuinely curious 😂

[NathanDavis]

I would say it is closer to be true...

because yes, we're mostly wired to be social and also form these strong bonds as well... to pair up

[ChicoFromThe305]

I don't know why I didn't get the notification for this, no lie that mixing notification gotta go lol

[IslaTheWitch]

It depends on the inner peace...

If you are at peace with yourself and your life, you can secure your needs without a relationship. Then you don't fight for it. You can wait for this special person.

But how many people reached this inner peace? I would say not many... So you could be right in your theory, @ChicoFromThe305

[ChicoFromThe305]

I'm always making theories and thank you 🤣

[Nikki1989]

In 95% of cases, unhappiness is self-inflicted.

[ChicoFromThe305]

If that was the case everyone would be happy

[Flatmanlewis]

I think Nikki1989 is making a more subtle point. Happiness isn’t just a simple choice like flipping a switch - but people make bad choices which deny them the things that make them happy. The things a human seeks are almost always attainable but it may require some hard choices and work to achieve those goals.

Being single is great , but only for a while.. if it's a full time thing , when you reach the end of the cycle , you just feel like you don't really exist lol.. If being with someone of the opposite gender wasn't that great , it wouldn't be the thing that gives you the highest levels of happy hormones lol...

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yep the hormones have spoken 😂

[Starrrboy]

🤣🤣..

[Flatmanlewis]

I think your statement is factually correct. More than 51% of humans would not be fully happy with their life all alone. Yet, I also think a very large part of society IS alone and is happy.


Some people are in relationships and are miserable. Some people are not in a relationship and are unbelievably happy. It’s really just a matter of personality I think.

[molonski2]

I think its possible to be happy single , it can be done , but on reading the question in full I'd say the answer is TRUE.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yep very eye opening to me ha

[TheSpaceGnome]

"all said no which I think means that all human brains are wired to crave company no matter their situation"

Short of the extremely rare sociopath, that is the answer.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Wdym?

[TheSpaceGnome]

I'm not sure why you're confused, I said what I meant as clear as possible.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Alright bet next time I'll just ignore your question then lol

[ChicoFromThe305]

Opinion*

[TheSpaceGnome]

I mean I honestly don't care if you do that, but there really is no way to word that any clearer than I did.

[ChicoFromThe305]

I know I was just trying to start conversations but alright bet

[TheSpaceGnome]

Fair enough, but my reply doesn't leave much room for that, usually conversations occur on questions if the topic has a very complex answer that needs explaining or if a debate occurs, but you said the correct answer in your question.

[ChicoFromThe305]

I was expecting you to speak more on your point of view

[TheSpaceGnome]

That answer is my point of view.
I like, most humans, am wired to crave company.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I, like most humans* (put the comma in the wrong place)

[ChicoFromThe305]

Fair enough

[LiamJHayden]

The majority can be, but many choose to dwell upon what they do not have rather than what they do, and thus fail to be happy.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Then they aren't happy 😂

[Likes2drive]

Seems we always desire companionship eventually, nobody really wants to be alone

[ChicoFromThe305]

True story bro

[Fireguy17]

I was or stayed single for a long time by choice.
I just came and went as I pleased and traveled on my bike a lot.
I really enjoyed my freedom.

[exitseven]

It isxin our DNA to be miserable. It enabled us to survive in the BC days before we had cable

[OddBeMe]

I think Other or Depends is the answer. Mostly it’s true. We like longterm relationships as a species. But some view love and sex as transactional or go it alone. I don’t know.

Could be religions and society embarrassing them into loneliness.

[Anonymous]

The majority of people think they can't be happy being single because that is what has been sold to them by our society. But, in reality, some people are happier being single than in a relationship.

[Jmmmfi4]

IM NOT HAPPY... BUT USED TO IT

[mrandersong]

False. Bitches are crazy
