Do you think some people are just meant to be alone?

As in forever alone, single for life or at least never settling down in any one long term relationship

(If there are I'm pretty sure I'm one of them)

    I don't think anybody is 'meant to be' one thing or another. Nothing is written in stone, nothing is pre-ordained.

    I think some people don't fit comfortably into mainstream society; whether that be because of a difficult attitude, odd or disturbing behaviour, emotional and/or mental health problems, other disorders (e.g. autism)... Some people are square pegs.

    These type of people can find it difficult to form and maintain relationships. Some don't want human companionship of any form (though they may benefit from it). But that's not to say they are 'meant' to be alone.

    There are also plenty who seem utterly normal, but events have transpired against them and left them 'out in the cold without a hand to hold'. It's easy if you've been alone for a long time, without any obvious cause, to predict this will be the case forever - that perhaps it's meant to be that way. But that's a pessimistic attitude and premature. Again, destiny is make-believe, everything can change in an instant.

    Goes back to tinkering with his death machines. Alone.

    Sigh, a mutually insane and psychotic Fraulein wouldn't go a miss.

    I don't think anyone is meant to be alone. I do believe there are those who choose to live life without a companion and others who talk themselves into believing they are meant to be alone. But alone by design? No, no way.

        Dude, it's just my opinion, what do you want, a manifesto? Human beings are by nature gregarious, that's all.

          LOL - I do think it's an innocuous question though.

    No, of course not. Nothing is "meant". Things happen and we make them happen. If it doesn't happen for you, you didn't make it happen.

    If you were meant to be alone you would never desire companionship.

    • I really like the idea of it, but don't desire it too much on a personal/realistic level

    • I'm solitary by nature, and thus far have never managed to keep a relationship from completely falling apart or truly "have feelings" for another person

    Sure. Some people whether by choice or circumstance do not want or do not have a partner. I could easily live alone with no problem (mentally) as long as I was financially secure.

  • Obviously some people never find companionship, but nothing is meant to be.
    Personally I do like certain people, but from a distance. I've never been good at being close to anyone or maintaining relationships. I sometimes feel something's missing, but when people are around I often just feel annoyed.
