My friend asked me the other day if I was really happy

[pink]

being single.


I gave her a very strangle look and then replied yes, of course I am. I guess some people just don't get it. I enjoy my own company. I have my dogs and cats. I have you guys. I have my job to keep my mind busy, not to mention I have bills to worry about paying. I have a house to try to keep up with. I just don't worry about whether I will be single forever or not. I like my life. I like not having to answer to anyone. People are great but relationships are a lot of work. Maybe someday, just not now.


I guess I should add here that my friend does not do well alone.

One should be able to be alone without being lonely. It is a valuable skill.

I'm not single, but I do spend 6 months of the year alone.
I like it and it works for us - like 'me' time where I get to spend my time doing my own stuff at my own speed.
I never get lonely, but people ask me if I am all the time.

I think there's a heck of a lot of people who don't know how to spend time with themselves.

huge rationalization, way too much effort to present it. you're miserable, face it.

And if the PM's stop rolling in, you just need to start a thread like this one.

I'd be willing to bet that more people don't than do.

 

[run_silent]

Although I'm married I do enjoy my alone time. I also enjoy my time with her. I can see both points.

Some people (me for example) have felt really unhappy due to being single. Not always - I'm an introvert and I've always needed a healthy amount of daily alone time, and I can entertain myself with reading or video games or art. But sometimes the feeling of not being loved, not being part of a family, is painful and depressing. And emotional pain is one of those feelings that is hard to look past, to the point where it can obscure one's memory that being single wasn't always painful and isn't necessarily unpleasant to others.

 

[CandiCame]

I like being alone because I do a lot of things that are like... single person activities, but then I'll get lonesome every once and while and really want to be with someone. I'm essentially a fucking SIM. I have a relationship meter that needs to be refilled every so often and then I just really want to go paint or something.

People are too self-absorbed, too idle, and too inept.

your friend is a psychic vampire.

 

[KRCummings]

Some people get lonely very easily, others don't. It's a personality thing, nothing more.

 

[hornyrajni]

why?

why were u asked this???

 

[fgarvb1]

A Friend of mine mention the other day that I had not looked happy in ten years or so.

I replied I have not had that much to be happy about.

 

[lovetoread]

I've been single for almost a year. I've learned that I don't like it much, but I can do it.

Wait, you listed me (in part) as one of the things that keeps you happy?

NOW I feel sorry for you!

 

[sweepthefloor]

I am mostly happy. I wish for a ruler to replace my broke stick. I measure twice but my cuts are always short. I keep wasting all this wood.

I doubt that you waste any wood.
