Since my last relationship ended last year I have been living by myself. I mean, it is what it is and I basically was doing fine for a while. But lately I have been feeling really lonely. Like to the extreme.
Its nice to be able to do whatever you want and all that, but at the end of the day, no one is waiting there for me. I can play video games, watch sports or whatever, but that feeling is not going away. I want the intimacy of another human being. I really miss that. People who say that you dont need another person to make you happy/complete are strange IMO. I think there might be something wrong with those who say that.
Anyway, just reflecting on stuff on a Monday morning. Yanno, misery loves company
Its funny how everyone at work is complaining about weekend being too short and I.m like... yeah, not for me. For me its - yay, its Monday!!
You shouldn't make assumptions on something just because you don't understand it/because you can't deal with it yourself. It's like saying those who want or who feel they NEED a companion is mentally weak and emotionally unstable.
There is nothing "wrong" with either lifestyle.
If you want a companion do what you need to do to find one.
I was really worried about being a homeowner by myself. I was more worried about picking the right house to accommodate another person, while doing it by myself. After conversing with some friends, they reassured me that any house I'd buy would be fine for me, since you're likely going to purchase another house with your potential partner anyways.
Honestly, I love living by myself. It has its moments where it's a little lonely, but I have way more days where I'm happy with my current situation than lonely and wishing I had more. My life zigged when I thought it would zag, but things could be way worse than they currently are. Living on my own is great, because I can do anything that I want to do. Some people can't do it, because they lived with someone from their late teens and on. Whether it was roommates or partners, they never spent any time living alone. I've lived on my own for 6 years now and I've had people stay over, but never had anyone live with me. I'd struggle with someone living with me now, but it would be something that I would have to figure out.
While cohabitation is indeed desirable, to have someone to come home to, I'd rather be alone than have a person who is just a placeholder. The hard part is finding the one who will have that pull factor that makes it desirable and exciting to come home to. I know too many people who dread coming home to the person waiting there for them. I would want no part of that.
I find living alone easy and comfortable. It's the thought of having to share space with someone that makes me feel uneasy. Which isn't to say that I don't enjoy companionship, it just means that they need to go away and be someplace else most of the time.
I don't mind living alone. It's when I live with people I don't get along with that really sucks. It is nice to have someone to come home to. You should adopt a pet.
