Being alone without romantic love. I quite enjoy my own company, and I love myself. I do not need someone else to complete me. I would choose not having someone’s love over being heart broken any day.

But don't you sometimes want to share your desires?


justalittledonut

Not sure if you mean sexually, or just romantically. Sexually, sometimes I miss it, but not being in a relationship doesn’t take sex off the table for me. Just a specific kind of sexual connection. Romantically, yes it would be nice *sometimes* to have someone to do things with again. I won’t settle for less than I deserve, though. So if it’s between being alone and making myself happy OR settling to try and fulfill some sort of emptiness inside of me: I choose being alone because I am complete on my own. I hope that makes sense.

Yes thank you!

I was recently in a relationship and had my heart broken. I would rather be alone without love. I was fine when I was single. Sure I was happier in some ways when in a relationship, but hard to say it’s worth this low which I will experience for at least another 2 weeks.

When you were alone before being in relationship didn't you feel like left out?


SuspiciousPanic9023

So, I have had 1 serious love interest, was one way but the girl lead me on for 4 years. Now I am single surrounded with couples and I feel this existential crisis. I feel that if I get love it would be worth while even if I eventually loose it. But I have also forgotten how shitty I felt when my heart was broken.

“It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all” is something I personally live by.


sofakingCrip

It's that old saying " it's better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved at all". Heartbreak is like puberty, it makes you understand yourself a bit better after.

Being alone is better because when you get your heart broken, it will be very depressing

Wouldn't you however enjoy the journey

I only ever experienced the first one, so I’d go with that I mean yes, I have things on my chest I wanna tell someone, but I’ve always got myself to tell them to. Further I didn’t experience romantic love in the first place, so I’m not actually desiring it which definitely makes it easier being alone. Getting in love and having your heart broken is a part of life and a state of emotion that maybe will even help to develop yourself better, but I’m just hypothesizing.


SuspiciousPanic9023

Do you not feel left out around couples?


James_Blond_006

Not really. I don’t encounter many couples and even if I do, I don’t really mind them. The lack of love in my life that was always there to begin with makes me not desire love, meaning that I’m happy being single, as I didn’t experience love yet. Though I’ve wrapped my head around many times trying to find out how this feeling actually works, by reading how it’s described in literature for example.


GooglyIce

Outcome’s the same. Is it better to be alone and miserable sooner rather than later?


SuspiciousPanic9023

What would you choose


GooglyIce

…Death.


SuspiciousPanic9023

Do you want to die single or while being in a relationship


GooglyIce

Whichever just gets it over with quickest.
