Are you truly OK I am prepared to be alone?

[Justneedtokno]

I could be very honest with this no.
it’s like I’m OK with being alone for a certain amount of time but I don’t wanna be alone forever

[Ευδεμονια]

I think honestly there has to be a distinction between being alone from a friendship point of view and being alone from a sentimental perspective.
I’ve been alone from a sentimental point for all my life, so there’s no particular problem from this point of view. Sure there’s always the need to be loved and have support but it’s something you can do without it…
This can happen if you’re ok with yourself and you have good friends. So being alone without friends is really unimaginable from my point of view. Man is a social animal so all us has at least a little desire for social interactions and (real) friends are persons meant to support you in every field.


So honestly I think there’s no problem with you, if you feel to be prepared to be alone from a sentimental point of view, if you have at least one dear friend to support you, since all the support and love that should came from a sentimental life has to be compensated by your self love and the love others can give you as friends.

I'm fine with being alone right now. I'm living in a different state for the rest of this year for work. Then I'll be moving back to my home state next year. I thought about dating while living where I am currently. And even went on a few dates. But after not having too much success I decided to try dating again when I'm back home and not moving over 500 miles away in 6 months. Half a year is still a good amount of time for getting to know somebody (at least to determine whether or not you wish to continue with that person), but I don't know what the situation would be like once I have to move. It just sounds like it would be a disaster. I also have no desire for long distance. So for now, I've decided to just stay single and enjoy my time going out and doing what I want. Once I accepted that, everything starting becoming more fun because I wasn't complaining not having someone to do stuff with. Single life isn't bad when the only people you have to make plans with is yourself and your friends.

I enjoy being alone but at night around 10pm+ is when it gets a little lonely and you want someone comforting you. I always prepare for the worst but hope for the best so if i end up alone, i can deal. I’ll continue to flirt like fck tho

[Ms_Facesitter]

Not everyone can be, some become shells of themselves. But I think it's wrong to not be okay alone.

[Sixgunsound]

Being willing to be lonely is the greatest advantage you could ever possibly have in the dating scene. Not needing anything from anyone, makes you the most powerful person in the world. Why do you think the elites are so desperate to make sure our supply chains are so intertwined that we will never be able to extricate ourselves from them? Why do you think industrialists and robber barons had to smash and destroy the homesteading culture that was the original America? People who don’t need a government are very dangerous to said rent seeking parasites. The same goes for people who don’t need a love interest; they can take it or leave it and have every advantage over those who have needs.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Actually, needing nothing makes you weak.

You lose the willpower to perpetuate your own life when you give up all desires. Whereas having desires, whether obtained, or as goals, gives you incentive, it makes you do anything to get that precious enjoyment, it gives you a reason to get up in the morning, it gives you valuable networking connections that lift you up in power, and you become too determined and hard working and connected to human resources to be anything but strong, because you just must have those things/experiences/etc.

To need nothing is to want nothing, to want nothing is to be powerless/dead.

The elites want everything for themselves, and they want you to want nothing, and they want you to not have backup, so they push independence as a strength, when in fact, strength is in numbers, and independence is a divide and conquer weakness.

The super rich have dynasties built on extended families, friends, business partners, politicians, bankers, etc. they are networking kings who want everything, not independant homesteaders who want nothing. And yet, they are the strongest people on earth.

[Justneedtokno]

Yes this statistically proven men live longer within a relationship or a marriage then in women

[Effably]

I probably could live my life as a hermit on some far off place and never talk to anyone else and be fine with it.

But if I am to choose what I want? Of course meaningful companionship and someone who you love that loves you in turn is better. After all this someone could give you all the space you need - or never let go. Its up to you.

[big_ben_007]

I want to get married to my first wife at 95 when i have seen everything, my nuts have dried up and i want to pass on my life insurance policy and assets to someone else before i croak.

[Guy13]

If they say they want to be alone then you know WHY they are alone... They are liars as we are not designed to be alone... nor are we all designed to be married. There is Agape (God's Love), Eros (man's love), Phillo (brotherly love)-Philadelphia.

[Jamie05rhs]

Yeah. I feel ya! I'm okay for now. But if I don't find someone by the time I'm 60 then I'm probably going to settle. (By then it won't matter as much, because the finish line of "til death" will be a shorter distance.)

[KrakenAttackin]

For most men "alone" is much, much, easier than being in a relationship. This is why men are much more content than women to be alone.

[Justneedtokno]

But statistically proven y’all are better in a relationship versus women y’all live longer

[KrakenAttackin]

@Justneedtokno. Those are statistics from a study done in the 50's and 60's. Married men no longer live longer and in fact married/divorced men have a more than triple number of suicides. The longest living and happiest men are "never married". Harsh fact.

[_deeznuts]

agree, like its cool for a bit but not forever

[TheSpaceGnome]

Being alone is a trap.

[Justneedtokno]

How so

[TheSpaceGnome]

Power in numbers, boredom from isolation, increased risks of safety, health, etc when alone, harder financial struggles, higher stress.

[msc545]

I am.
