Looks like someone needs to grow up. A 27 year old with the mind of 17.

First of all, you are only 27, things might feel differently as you get older. Second, humans are not meant to be self-contained units. It is natural and instinctive to connect with others and share love. It seemd really odd that anyone would not want to go through life with another.

At some point, we all get older and want to share life through harder times. You may be a loner, which is a narcissistic indulgence, but I bet you are using this viewpoint to avoid risk becasue risk can bring pain and hurt.

You can really live, or you can just survive. But we all need the love of others.

In today's economy survival is hard enough thank you. And you feel that being a loner is narcissistic, most loners probably assume people don't want them around anyway.

Being a loner doesn't make one a narcissist.

Because of the pain/hurt risk, he probably doesn't want to step out. Who can blame him?

You don't need a man/woman in order to go through life. As long as you have a good support system involving good, close friends and family; that's all one should need.

I was feeling you until you got to the bold area!!! You don't want to bang out chicks anymore? Dude?? Cmon man its your God giving right to bang out as many chicks as possible. One day you will die dont waste your life. I understand relationships are not for men, but that doesn't mean you have to stop tagging & bagging em man.

I agree with this line, dude seems to be laying his cards on the table. Sounds like he had some wicked witches on his resume. That can do a lot of damage to a man.

I'm 23 and at this point I agree with you until we get to sex. I'm a virgin and want some. Most likely one-night stand variety.

To WakaFloka~

actually, yes, it does!
a type of narcisissm is created when folks create a bubble around themselves, not allowing others in, and not giving of themselves, either.

Think about it more philosophically. His concerns are only about what he wants and feels, his own reality he creates that he does not want to involve with another.

Look it up.
