I have been chronically single for years, and I have accepted that I might be single for years to come. I have been trying to find ways to cope with it for the long term. Like worst case scenario that I am never in a serious relationship for 10 years to the rest of my life. Just trying to figure out how I will stay happy and content. Any advice? Get a dog, work 60+ hours a week, drink a lot, find lots of hobbies so that I am extremely busy? What is the best way to cope. Not looking for advice on how to find someone.
Do you have other long-term, significant relationships in your life? Like with a sibling, or close friends?
I think most of us need those kinds of significant connections, romantic or not.
Do you enjoy what you do for a living? That can bring fulfillment, too.
I am close to my brother and parents, but only se and talk to them weekly at the most. We are kind of spread out geographically. I have some friends that I see one night a week. Work is a different struggle currently.
That is the strangest thing I have heard in my life. I don't get why people view being single as such a....tragedy. I think your priorities are a little skewed.
I actually have quite a few hobbies and interests that I participate in. More than most people. They aren't enough to fulfill me though. I am 33.
We really can't offer advice unless you say what areas of your life feel unfulfilling.

Volunteer or make more friends. Dogs are good if you like them. Do you like to be alone?
I believe I am single for the long haul as well, but I enjoy my alone time and have many interests and strong non romantic relationships.
