How are you truly prepared to be alone?

[Justneedtokno]

I am 28 years old and I think I want to come to the conclusion I might be alone. I mean no one nice vans no friends with benefits situation unless it is the meaning for Anna actual relationship I don’t want it

as for myself no I’m not prepared but I’m working on being prepared. Such as working on my house being able to maintain and take care of myself get a furry baby going out to do things along with like restaurants and movies I’m not quite there yet with traveling but I am working on it I have one solo trip.

I love romance for other people but I don’t think it’s for me

please don't ever let anyone lie to you and tell you that ohhh women who are alone and growing older are unhappy blah blah, that's a lie we are all human our emotions never remain constant we feel happiness, anger, worry, neutrality, loneliness etc etc. No one stays constantly happy, and relationships don't make anyone happy, happiness is in internal thing, and it's a choice.

enjoy being single because you never know what your future has instore for you, you may find love soon so live every single moment like it's your last, but even if you don't find love that's still okay! they say the best relationship that any person can ever have is the one they have with themselves, now you can have a relationship with yourself, you can get to better understand yourself and do all the things that you have always wanted to do and reap all the benefits of being single and that's great! you have a gift so please enjoy it🤗.

If it gets hard just know that it's hard for everyone, every single person in this world is having a hard rough time and there is absolutely no way to escape it, because that's a part of life so try your best to see the bright sides of your life and situation at all times!.

I get tired of people quickly so i kinda always saw the lonewolf as endgame. But i definitely want a child regardless of if i want the guy too

If that's what you believe, and you aren't able to cooperate with another person, then you are doing everyone a favor by remaining single. But know that most women say it gets considerably more difficult to be alone as they get older. Most women have no trouble being single in their 20s, but it gets much harder in their 30s and even harder in their 40s and 50s.

Even the wealthy author of Sex And The City, who is a multi-millionaire, can travel as she likes, etc., regrets her choices and would give it all up to have a family. She's had it better than almost anyone, and she's alone and miserable.

Make sure you save really well for retirement too. Keep in mind that if you were retiring TODAY, you'd need at least $2M in the bank, assuming you retired at 65 and lived to 85. Due to healthcare costs, your cost of living goes up a lot in your later years, and $2M only averages $100k/year. Given your age, you'll probably need closer to $15M in the bank to retire and survive on your own. Without a family to take care of you, you're going to have to be able to pay people to do it for you - or go without, and going without will shorten your lifespan, possibly considerably.

OK well well well yes I am working on a retirement plan and pension and yes working on savings and deleting my own debt so when I do get involved with someone they don’t have to take on so much. I’m not giving up I’m just trying to be realistic. No I don’t want to be alone.

[Justneedtokno]

Also women live longer being out of relationships than men in relationships

[NathanDavis]

I don't know...

I just haven't considered the possibility of that because I don't see it probable that I will be "alone" for the rest of my life as I have never actually been "alone" in my life

despite all things, I am a very social person, lol

[ArrowheadSW]

Being in a relationship isn't for everyone. A lot of people like the freedom of not being in a relationship.

[Jamie05rhs]

Yes. I am okay with it. I have been single since I was 9 (before that I didn't care so it doesn't matter) and I am still alive.

[Staximus]

Traveling by yourself is an idiot decision. That's how people disappear.

[Staximus]

Go places with your friends

[Staximus]

You don't have to be alone, you need to learn some social skills

[Justneedtokno]

I have social skills. Maintenance and retaining friends to do activities. It like you have to be superficial. Also my friends have children live in different states so it hard and with children and marriages there's no way

[Staximus]

Wrong, you maintain friendships by not being superficial

[Justneedtokno]

Yeah well nowadays most people can’t handle or don’t like the truth so you kind of just keep your thoughts and opinions to yourself especially if they’re asking you

[eagle1951]

well i'm71 and alone after 37 years. she's in heaven now pain free

[legalboxers]

been alone most - majority of my life, you get use to it

[Juxtapose]

Why giving up so soon?

[Justneedtokno]

Most guys prefer younger women, very very thin women and I’m thick and curvy and I’m brighter color and dark

[Juxtapose]

I prefer women in their mid and late twenties and I looove thick and curvy women. I'd probably go on a date with you.

[Justneedtokno]

You’re asleep but we’ve had conversations and you don’t agree with certain things

[Juxtapose]

Most things people disagree on aren't so severe that they can't get along. I have friends that believe things wildly different than I do but we share enough common values that we get along.

[Justneedtokno]

So we can be friends

[Juxtapose]

Aww well I tried xD

[Justneedtokno]

😊 yay
