Is there a point in someone’s life when he/she should become content with being alone and accept it?

I personally from a young age came to terms that I’m most likely going to end up alone. I watched all my friends date while in high school and other people get boyfriends, yet I was always alone. Once I hit the end of junior year, I decided that I had to get used to being alone and get used it just being me. yeah it hurts from time to time as the years pass, but you’ve got to hide that it hurts. Because if you attempt to vent to people about it, especially if they are in a relationship they view it as your jealous of THEIR relationship even when that’s not the case. Because at the end of the day you are not jealous of them and what they have , but more so “is there something about me that’s off putting that no one wants to be with me?” But instead of listening and attempting to understand they make it seem like you want to be them and are jealous of them. So I’ve just held it in since I’ve turned 20, I’m 23 now. And yeah I’m okay with it just being me, and my cat… yeah yeah get along with the cat jokes but I got him as a gift from my father when I turned 15 so jokes on y'all I didn’t get him because I was “lonely” lol. But being okay with it just being you isn’t being lonely that’s not when it’ll hurt. It’ll hurt when you have so many people around you that you feel ALONE, that’s when it hurts

@Staximus lol I guess. I approach guys myself, but if that’s not trying so be it

My pastor used to tell the girls in our church you should not get married until you can survive without a husband, because no relationship is going to be guaranteed or without problems and if you are too dependent on a man, it will lead to an unhappy marriage. And I don't mean just financial dependence, but also mental or psychological dependence. Men want ladies who can be an asset and a partner , not a child that requires constant watering and nurture, a child like woman might be cool for a few months, but not for decades of married life.

Being single is everyone’s default state , so of course you need to be content / ok with it. Some may even prefer leading a single life for a variety of reasons.


Is it the perception that some people feel somehow less than because they are single / not in a relationship? As that would be their problem and suggests codependency.


I’ve always know I’d be fine being single but knew that I ‘wanted’ a woman to share life , for all the good and the not so good



Feeling alone? , well that’s just a state of mind.

Nope


For the simple reason: when is that point?


Is it after a specific day in a person’s life?


Why not a day sooner or a day later?


It’s a self imposed handicap


No one owes the world to give up on anything


So why do it all on your own

As a relationship coach, my aim is to help you navigate love and self-acceptance. 🌟 Embracing solitude doesn't mean giving up on relationships or love; it's about loving yourself and finding peace within. Being content alone can make relationships even richer when they come your way. Falling in love with yourself first is the key to a more fulfilling life. So, cherish this vibrant journey called life, whether shared or solo! 😊💫

I mean, being alone is definitely much better than being in a toxic, loveless or dead relationship. You can do so many things without worrying whether your partner would have a problem with it, if you're single. However if one of your goals in life was to marry and have a family then I say, don't become content. Keep looking for that someone. Socialise, date... Sooner or later, you'll find your type of person.

I don’t think there’s a single “point” in life where someone should just accept being alone. For some, solitude feels natural and fulfilling, and for others, human connection is what gives life meaning. What matters is learning to be at peace with yourself first — enjoying your own company, knowing your worth, and not seeing aloneness as failure.

If relationships come, they’ll be healthier because you’re not chasing them out of fear. And if they don’t, you’ll still have built a life that feels whole. In that sense, being content with yourself isn’t about giving up on love or companionship — it’s about not depending on it for your sense of happiness.

Yes, very early on. If you can’t enjoy your own company, you’ll figure out all too late that you tolerated shitty company just so you wouldn’t be alone

No, there's too many single women in this world to be alone.. I'm sure I'll find one.. It's not rocket science.. People just do and expect too much when it comes down to it.

[Nikki1989]

Nobody likes that level of weakness.

[Vegasrunner]

I would say when a women hits 35, she should accept that she's going to be alone

[LiamJHayden]

One should always be prepared and content to fly solo.

独处提供了一个不受干扰的空间，在这里你可以真正面对自己的想法、欲望、恐惧和价值观。

通过独处，你可以区分社会和他人期望你过的生活和你真正渴望的生活。

这也是心理学所说的“自我整合”的关键阶段。

Sure, when they get too old for a relationship.
