Can you imagine being alone for your whole life? Or are relationships the most significant thing to humanity?


alone, like on a deserted island, or alone... no special someone.
doesn't sound fun, but I'd make the best of it.
hate to say it, but I'm 1/2 way there on the 2nd one.
Are you open to the idea of a special someone?
I am.
Good! Because love can sneak up on you where and when you least expect it.
As long as it doesn't bite me in the u know where!;)
You dont get a choice where you get bitten, sir!
Haha... true;) please dont call me sir... ages me 20yrs. Im only 38... in my mind... holding steady...
LOL I have to call you sir, I live in the south. Plus when I get sassy, I call everyone sir or maam.
It is possible for some to live their life alone, for me, I don't want to do that, even if it means living in a group home or with a roommate
I pretty much am alone and have been most my life. I don’t see this changing drastically so I just have to accept it
Men generally do approach women anyway
What’s that got to do with this?
It means it's not that you can't and won't get anyone because you lack opportunities. It's that you are too choosy and picky.
If it was a man saying this then it would be ok for him to feel low and sad because unless he looks good and approaches women he is bound to be single alone and lonely because women NEVER approach and show feeling to men
You have no idea!
Obviously. I guess women beer end up alone since they have lot of options to choose from... unless she has TOO HIGH standards
Why do you ‘assume’ that my standards are too high? Why would that be the only reason you see as a women ends up alone?
I think you need to listen and be open to listening more.
Women have so many options and so many opportunities, so many men available and approach them. They just have to pick and choose...
How would you know this? You are not a women, you do not know what we as women go though, what we experience. You are just assuming.
My second hand experience!!
Well I have first hand experience and can say that you’re assuming all of this!
We don’t have SO many options like you say we do. Not the opportunities you speak of. There is no abundance of men available to approach or be approached by at the drop of a hat!
So please stop with the assumptions. We all struggle in life. Have the same situations and troubles to deal with. No one gender has it easier than the other.
Just because we were born female does not mean we are handed shit!
Maybe you women don't have your type of men approaching you / available near you... but it's not possible that a woman has NEVER been approached by ANY man ever in her life.
And it’s not possible that a guy has never been approached by any women ever in his life.
Most men have never been approached by women
Nothing is more fun to do as one
You should be able to vote for yourself
Vote for myself for what?
Me for myself.
Things like that I later see as clever
A guy on here taught me always vote for yourself and I always have ever since
Well shit, I dont know if I've ever voted for myself... self deprecation. Lol
I'm taking note from that guy too.
He's a good guy he's just to far

I don't know about other people, but I'd not be capable to go through a lonely life.
Humans are social creatures, so no relationship for an entire life iwould be very unusual.
Being alone isn't the same as being lonely. Interaction with friends, is the only relationship I'll ever call true.
Many search for a place in the hurd. They quest for the one. Years they wander in cities and towns, only to be covered with despair and frowns. Their search for Happiness with only a sting, for happiness can only come from within.
It's not brought by another, not woman, man or beast. Life's a pain and not in the least. Why make it harder? Why visions of grand? Why incomplete without another's hand?
A life of misery where the odds are all wrong..., socially and legally, people steal your song. The goal of creation, the dreams of another. Sacrifice your own... to make her a Mother.
Wisdom comes from cutting what's gone, while you wallow, pain and pretty. Your only success was achieving her pretty.
I always thought what it is to be man, success and good wishes, for her to stand.
At last now I see, we humans are blind.
The moral highroad, no happiness to find. Playing a game you could never win, loosing more than you had, just makes you mad.
Echos of joy haunt you when the sun abandons you. The house is quiet as a church mouse. You say goodnight to the children, who smile at you.. motionless in their picture frames at a time where you would otherwise have spent the hour reading them a story, hugging and wishing goodnight. Better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all they say... but I wonder just how much did the author of such wisdom lose?
They aren't all like that they chant. There's plenty in the sea. Well I'll not fish... oh no not me.
The cloud of gynocentrism that coats the land, priority women and children, I now understand. A tool for their wealth is all men should be, with her as his aim so he fills her with glee. To be used and set down like a dusty old book, all you could give, she already took.
Doners of seed, "we need no damn man!".. we're strong and independent with the government's hand...
It passes the coin that you sew to grow. With no shred of shame... on with the show.
I would rather be alone exiled and free. The only free choice, afforded lil' ol' me. A second rate being, where I oughta be.
Contribute your pain, sweat, blood and tears, to give them the life, enduring the years. Irony to see for you and they,
You never lost sight of where happiness lay,
I'm still at the mercy of what she decides. This time an old lady... what will she abide? Face Mother nature, no you can't hide.
She's cruel and she's wicked, ferocious and kind, she sings like a river and cries like a storm,
She's no time for pitty, sadness and scorn,
She regrows the spent, ruined and torn,
I owe her one thing, and one thing alone..
To bow in awe, with this Earth she calls throne, as I seek a living in a place that ain't home.
Everything happens for a reason, regardless of the season. Some folks like me, just aren't meant to be. Anything else than alone and free.
I can imagine it, but it’s not a life I’d find appealing at all. I do think that for the majority of people, relationships of various varieties with other people, are the most important thing in life. I also believe a lot of our purpose and jobs are predicated on people as well. Almost everything we do revolves around people. Humans are indeed social creatures so we need interaction with people in some way, specifically face to face meaningful interactions. We can’t just communicate through a screen until our deaths, as this seems too detached and empty in a way even when we know there’s another person on the other end.
Miss xoxo i agree with statement written in the picture that you have uploaded...
Like i always say: a man needs a woman and a wpman needs a man...
Even in creation, a man can do everything by himself but he needed someone and this someone is the woman who made from him, alao she was made from him to remember the women in these days and in the future that no matter what you achieve, you still need a man in your life to be happy or to even consider him as the oxygen that you breath to live...
I personally cannot live alone, i love marriage, making a family and for sure my future wife will be a housewife.
Also everyday before i go to work and when i come back from work, i need her xo xo xo xo as fuel to keep me going on.
hummm... i hope no one ended up in that position... it would be so sad.
one also has to reach out, so many lonely soul.
I am not in a relationship atm.. I don't feel alone. It would be awesome to share my love with someone special. And that he would accept me for who I am.
I can imagine remaining 'single' my entire life, but to answer the other part of the equation. I could not imagine also being without the quality of friends I have. In fact, a woman I went out with feels that my friends are so fantastic that she believes it is the reason I can be so damn discerning in my love life. Quite profound I thought. Though, the part she did not know is how little time I actually spend with any of them. Hell, I haven't hung out with my best pal sine 2004. Marriage, kids, and miles will do that just an occasional text throughout the year is it. So albeit profound, not sure if it plays any actual roll. I just do not fall in love easy at all. Hell, earnestly speaking, not genuinely felt in nearly 18 years. But I digress...
It does worry me slightly that after moving home 10 years ago, what started as 6 visits home at least a year to meet up with family, has now become 1 or 2 a year. I'm still very close to my family but the fact that I can go a year without seeing them makes me think I'm capable of being ambivalent to relationships/friendships etc
I will be alone the rest of my life. I dislike it intensely. Relationships are among the most significant things in people's lives.
Do you just mean romantic relationships?
This question was one of my curiosity.
But everytime I imagine it was different.
Some time alone with future inventions.
Sometime a family.
Sometimes just me and future girlfriend or wife.
Sometimes just a homeless person.
I don't really think that I will be in relationship.
But I don't want to agree with that.
You see
Answer is yes I can.
But I don't want to.
I couldn't stand the thought of being alone when I was young.
But the older I get, the more it seems like the best way to go, for sure.
Another person is like a stupid piece of shit that you have to deal with every day. Why would you invite them into your home, into your life, and give them the keys to breaking your heart? You'd have to be even stupider than they are.
Relationships are the most valuable thing in life. I may have money, a huge house, luxurious stuff, but everything is worthless if I don't have the people I love around me to share everything. We all need love to be happy and satisfied.
By that I mean every kind of relationship, not just lovers.
I think we are meant to have people in out lives and experience love. Hell even if you are alone you probably have an animal you talk too. Lol!
In general the person would become anti-social. Without platform and romantic relationships it's like life without colour.
No, I won't be able to survive alone without any relationships. I believe that they are very important to humanity.
It's good to be alone sometimes, but at the end of the day, we are human and need friendships and good relationship with family. A romantic relationship is great if you're with the right person, but toxic if with the wrong person.
Relationships are super important. We aren’t meant to be alone, unless you have a personality for it. That’s is why women are different but have compatible parts with men.. because we are meat to be together with someone
Been alone in this world since I was 7 1/2... January 19, 1985. I don't see that changing at all. I'm turning 42 this year.
Would it be nice to be happily married, yes. Sadly, for me, that's not an option.
Ever feel lonely and sexually frustrated?
Lose weight and cut that hair. Then it might be an option.
@little_bird1 perhaps I should be more clear.
I was disowned and signed over to the state, then put into the system. Then I got surgically sterilized March 19, 1986. I was 8 1/2 when I got snipped and fixed. I had no say in it. I can never have children.
No woman wants to spend her life with a man that cannot give her children.
I have no family, the few friends I have are far away,
I'm turning 42 this summer, and I've never married.
Every woman I've ever dated cheated and left me for another man who could get them pregnant.
How many times must I get gut punched and have my heart ripped out before just giving up?
Well, I am at that point.
I give up. I accept that I'm going to be alone for life.
I don't wish my life on anyone.
First you said you were alone forever, but now you say you did date some... So confusing. Anyway I don't think that not being able to have children is the problem here, I think it's your appearance, sorry.
@little_bird1 That's fine. I never said I haven't day3d in the past. I most certainly did. After my last relationship ended after 5 years, I just decided to give up.
@iduhaveuser sometimes. Self-service is my sole option.
Relationships can be the best part of life.
Relationships can also be the worst part of life.
Most who I know, are married or prioritise their working life over relationships, I myself had previously done this and at that time a relationship was the absolute last thing on my mind. - I did go through a period of entering a long term, - Now I'm single, have not really thought or had the urge to re-enter into a relationship x
nah I wanna find someone who I can form a lifelong bond with and who can make me happy.
I have been in relationships for most of my life so being without being in one would take some getting used to. I am sure I could do it but I prefer not to.
Relationships are only important to us because we are social animals and stand a higher chance of surviving as a group than if either one of us were alone.
People can be interesting but I
I have been alone all this life, but I don't think that it's good to be alone for our mental health.
You're born alone. You die alone.
What's so tragic about living alone when you really think about it?
I don't have to imagine being alone for my whole life as it's how I've always been and presumably always will be.
If you can find peace in solitude you'll always be happy with what ever gets thrown your way. at the same time know image actually having a significant other love you eternally
Not completely alone, but I can imagine myself being single for most of my life.
Never really been in a relationship and I've generally been alone my whole life. Honestly it's not that hard for me to imagine being alone for my whole life as long as humanity exists outside of me. What I do I do for my romanticized notion of humanity. People don't seem to want anything lasting with me, as such I find myself not liking people but liking humanity.
Yes. If I didn't need to go to work, and my dad passed, I wouldn't really interact with anyone outside the virtual world.
😢...
*hugs*
I couldn't imagine being alone for my whole life.
I do think relationships are the most important thing.
I can imagine myself living without a man, but i definitely cannot imagine living without my friends and family.
The happiest and most successful men were single.
We are social beings, it'd be like putting yourself in a dark room and living there for the rest of your life, imagine what that does to an individual's brain lol
I can never have a relationship, I can't live without sex or someone to talk to like a friend.
I could not imagine it. But that doesn’t mean it won’t happen.
I have spent 1 decade since beginning of puberty I needed to spend 5 more.. And it seems like they will go empty like this only..
So I am doomed to be single & I know it, I will survive
l am alone l just have to get on with my life l am still looking to date a nice girl
To be honest everyone need someone although women need it more as they are more emotional, which require lot of communication to heal. At the same time its women that keep saying they can leave without men, from biology view it makes no sense.
I can imagine it, I wouldn't want to live it though. Human relationships are important.
Men need women and women need men, we gotta stop denying our nature and stop hating on each other with these dumb ass movements like MGTOW or feminism bullshit.
I think every person desires that human contact (be it romantic or platonic) relationships give people the opportunity to share their ideas, hopes, dreams & fears.
I’ve been alone most of my life but yes I would really would like to fall in love with a woman and get remarried to of course. I actually hate living alone all the time as I can’t stand it.
Yeah I've always been kinda a loner and it fine i keep busy
I can imagine because I'm very alone.
I'm sorry. Being alone can be easier but also very sad.
It doesn't matter when I'm single not by choice : )
I'm pretty sure if I was that alone, I would go crazy.
I can imagine it 100% and it's far more peaceful no pointless arguing over little things that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things etc
Well. I am 48 and single. True story. I have never been Kissed. I am NOT LYING. Never been kissed. I say before I die I want to have sex. I do not want to die a Virgin...
Yes but we're talking about every relationship.. not just romantic ones.
O wow. Why did you not approach any woman?
@iduhaveuser OH I have tried. A lot...
Damn. Why do you think that is?
And women turned you down? Why?
Are you short male?
wouldn't know I'm surrounded by good friends like you
You cannot live your entire life single handedly you need someome as your companion.
I cannot imagine it. Been out of a relationship for 4 months and already feeling like I'll never find love again in my rich beach side village of 300 people :(
Yeah I can imagine it
If you mean including friendships then no.
Sometimes being alone it feeling lonely can affect a person mentally and create a lot of insecurities. The person could even develop abnormal thoughts
Yeah I'd be fine with that. that peace in solitude
To live alone is not a life worth living
i can imagine being single for my whole life
Imagine? I don't need to.
This quote is making me wonder if I'm a sociopath
