Humans are social animals, and human companionship is a natural need. It's possible to learn to live in isolation, but it's hard.
that old chestnut again, most people need others because they don't know any different. and they are afraid to be alone.
some of us have learned we don't need other people to be happy.
I haven’t read all the posts but do want to comment that, now at age 69 and living in a 55+ community, I have met many couples that found eachother in their 30’s and 40’s who have built wonderful lives together. Most met online. And there are many, many people who don’t have conventional social skills but do find that ONE to connect with and build a satisfying life with.
It is more difficult to connect with others when you live in a rural area. Long distance relationships are hard to sustain. Think about ways to overcome this obstacle.

Exactly! Most people are conditioned and programmed to be too terrified to even try it. Once you do, you learn you can survive alone -- even thrive. Or at least some of us can!

Some of us have to because other people dont want to be around.
But survive and thrive are different words.

absolutely, I thrive without other people, its other people that **** me off-not being alone.
exactly, I chose to be alone. and stop telling me how to run my life.
The poster was talking to the OP, not you. The OP isn't motivated and doesn't like people, but wants a relationship with someone so that he's not alone. That's what the thread is about.

then he needs to quote the post he is replying to.
his reply came immediately after one of mine, the inference being that is what he is replying to, so again I say, he needs to state who he is replying to.
