I prefer being alone

6 Comments

I'm in a "good" relationship now, I love my partner very much, and we communicate pretty well. I still regret getting into the relationship though. I FAR prefer being single to being in a relationship. It's not that I want to go out and hook up with random people. Actually, when I'm single, that's generally the furthest thing from my mind.

I just really love being alone and focusing on me. I know it's selfish and all, but I'm really empathetic, so I usually need a lot of alone time to de-stress from helping other people deal with their problems. Even when I'm not helping other people, their moods wear off on me, and when I'm alone, I'm incredibly happy.

I just can't break up with him because I can't bear the thought of hurting him.

    I am exactly the same. Nice to know it's not just me that feels this way

    When I read your post, I thought I was reading about myself. I enjoy being around people and helping others but I prefer to be alone. I’ve been married to a wonderful woman for many years and I often wish to be single so that I don’t have to share myself with her. I think I feel that way because I’ve found peace in myself in a way that few people ever do. I honestly love myself. Since I also love my wife and do want to continue to be with her I take up certain hobbies that give me that chance. I took up distance running because it gave me ample time to quietly enjoy my own company. I took up riding motorcycles because nobody can see me talking to myself with a full face helmet on. I love going out surfing alone. I don’t even need to catch waves, I just enjoy sitting in the water all alone and being connected to the ocean.

    I think you are perfectly normal. Sometimes I feel the same.

    Im probably the worst case hermit. I could quite happily live and die alone. I need to see people everyday, but Im not keen on having a family or committed relationship. It may seem really weird, but I could go my whole life, not have sex EVER and not regret it at all. I have to find that right person, I know that they're out there but I just have NO motivation to find my soul-mate.
