I was happinest being alone for the longest time.. mind you id want to be around people from time to time but I always couldnt wait to get home and just be by myself..
If you happy being alone dont let anyone make you feel less than for that... you dont need anyone by your side to complete you that line is a a load of BS.. youd want someone by your side that adds value to your life and most people these days just take, take, take.. so stay alone until you happen to meet someone you enjoy being around just as much as when your alone :)
Thats what happened with me I enjoyed being alone it was never a big issue I knew what I wanted what I was looking for and didn't want to settle.. then my parents and friends said I was being too picky and guys just wanted to date me I had no interest because my theory is if your waiting for someone with certain qualities no point picking up the other guys that you know they are great guys but not your guy. Times the guy insisted sometimes id say well okay then those times I was disappointed so stick to your gut and if your parents are setting you up with people like mine were.. go on any online dating and when covid is over go out for a meal.. pay your own way so he doesn't expect anything.. then go home let him know you had a good time he seems like a great guy just it doesn't feel right to you. You will meet one guy that it already feels like you know him that you just want to spend more time with if I could go back id care less what everyone else thought and just keep being happy by myself rather than going out with guys or compromising.. you dont have to give them any reasons unless they ask because if you say its not going to work cause of... he's going to try and make that not apply being straight up its not going to work. He asks why Id say something like I am looking for someone thats a home body that enjoys being just the two of us looking up at the stars at night. You enjoy being the life of the party abd your good at it.. I don't enjoy the party scene ill go make an appearance.. talk to everyone eat play with the family pet then leave.. social functions exhaust me.. my man is the same way so its possible to be completely comfortable with someone as if your alone it just took me 27 years to find it and he's been looking for 33 years before he found it.. when we met we both knew life doesn't get better than this.. I have never been happier relationship wise abd our relationship is effortless and easy.. we may not agree on everything the same but we can agree to disagree and love each other beyond

Being alone doesn't necessarily mean you're lonely. Loneliness makes me the exact opposite of happy. I will feel it from time to time.
From a man in my life to friends or family, yes I am happy being alone. Im comfortable and peaceful alone. That's not to say I don't miss having certain connections and people in my life but it's easier. I stopped receiving half of what I was giving in any type of relationship.
I like having sole control and fault over my own life. I don't depend on anyone and don't get hurt or disappointed anymore.
Yeah it's probably not the healthiest ways to live but for now, I don't forsee me changing anytime soon.
No. Definitely not.
nooooope.
I don't care which type of loneliness you care to look at: general, physical, romantic, spiritual... It's going to make me unhappy.
Loneliness is one of the worst things. That's not to say that people should never be alone. That's important to. But to me, it's your relationships with people that give life value. (all the various types romantic, friendships, acquaintances, new people you meet).
So to me, a life stranded on a desert island alone is a worthless and meaningless existence. I realize that this is far from the only way to look at things. And who knows, maybe if I ACTUALLY were stranded on a desert island I would Robinson Caruso the hell outta that desert island despite what I say now.
Being alone isn't 'loneliness'. You're confusing a state of being with an emotion. Which isn't all that atypical, but it's like projecting.
Being alone is the introverts world. They're just as happy on their own, being quietly alone, as they are around others. In fact, a lot of social interaction is wearing, tiring. They need alone time to recharge.
Now, LONELINESS is an emotional expression of desperation or sadness from being alone. The truth is, YOU choose, YOU get to decide if you're lonely or not. And if you are, why not DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? Call or meet a friend, develop a meaningful relationship with a dating prospect. I mean come on, this is all on YOU.

I don’t want to be without any social contact but if my only social base is friends and family and acquaintances or co workers and pets I believe I will be just as happy as I would be with a husband.
a lot of times yes, nothing like when someone repeats over and over again on certain things.
I have a friend that complains about another friend of his that has massive anxiety. I am my buddies anxiety outlet. My friend lets call him Senior estresado, has his friend Gringo estresado. So, Gringo has really bad anxiety and is a hypochondriac. He stresses out Senior, then I have to hear it from Senior. I told Senior how to help Gringo. Nothing changed, so now I just give stupid answers to Senior to tell to gringo. I am not Spanish, also you now get why. I am a great listener, but there's limits. Simplify my life.Absolutely not.
The number 1 thing that makes me happy is family and friends.
At the moment I have only 1 friend. I’m glad that I have one, but to be honest I just need more. I’m very unhappy actually. I need people.
Often I feel so lonely that I actually crave for a conversation. I don’t care with who or what the subject is. I just want to talk to someone, face to face. I yearn for it. Now I often just have conversations in my head with imaginary people or people who used to be my friends.I don't know what these feelings are, I do like being alone but on the other one I need someone, and that someone is a boyfriend. But then again, I think if I have a boyfriend, it just so annoying because we should texting or calling everyday or sometimes hangout. But then again, when I feel lonely, I suddenly think "I wish I have boyfriend". What is wrong with me? Is there anyone else feel this way or it just me?
Being "happy" and "alone" are largely subjective emotions.
You can think yourself happy, while suffering depression, and you can be in a crowd, yet feel alone.
The base is really about being "content". Too many people chase "happy" and "company" - yet get neither.Yes and No , yes to the fact that I can pretty much do whatever I want to do without having to explain myself or being told No lol
No for the fact that I do miss having that connection and the feeling of being wanted , so I still try to find someone , but it seems most girls I meet just like the convenience of me , so I am not going to give myself 100 percent until I meet someone that doesn’t want me as a convenienceI like solitude , yes , I do lean more towards introversion. Loneliness = those affected by involuntary solitude & want company. After the married I endured , never again for dating & definitely no relationships. Alone do not = lonely , in my own view , when it comes to people , less is more.
Sometimes it's nice to be alone, cause I like privacy and peace and quiet.
I like hanging out with small groups, what I hate tho is large crowds.
People being loud, obnoxious, you can smell them, people bumping into each other, and long lines.
That's why I don't like theme parks that much anymore. The stupid long lines waiting maybe 30 minutes while the ride lasts 30 seconds.I was happy alone for 4 years... solitude was a gift... I had found peace in it... then I met this girl... she made me feel amazing... then she stopped. then I felt terrible for a couple weeks... lonely... now I'm back to having my peace. solitude is good for the soul. loneliness is not.
I'm on my own and just getting used to it, thus is the longest time I've ever been single. I also don't have friends atm and I'm not going out doing any nor interested in doing so.
It won't be forever but that's the current present.Just because you are alone does not make you lonely.
I live alone but have a good bunch of mates and chat to daughter regularly
being alone is often what you make off it.
plenty mountain biking ride outsSome days but this pandemic really pushed me to the limit of wanting a partner to build a life with. I have friends and meet new people but a lover is someone you can dive deep with and I miss that connection with another.
I am in a relationship now, but I was happy too when I was single. Sure every now and then I missed that intimacy, but Being in a relationship is Not my definition of happiness, I just let love come to me instead of searching for it
Not forever hopefully, but in the near futur I might be single again and I'd like to focus on building my social circle and working on myself for a bit
No I'm not :(
I wish I had someone stable.
Especially the one I want doesn't even exist.
Whoever I came across are jerks, liars, flirts, fake and seasonal people.Yes I am happy with being alone. Being single for life. I am at peace with it.
Some times yes, I am An Empath and there are days where I just need to stop and let go of all of the things , feelings with in to become me again
There are pros and cons to being alone. I would have to say that I enjoy being alone more than I do being with someone.
That cat isn’t alone! It has a human who will come running the moment it requires anything! That’s why it is so happy!
At the moment I'm alone, but not lonely. I always find things to do, things to occupy my time, so it isn't an issue really.
