It's our instinct to feel this way. Everywhere you go, there are couples, and that makes it worse for those who are alone.

Being a human, well most of the time, and an observer of people, it seems to me that most people are too insecure with themselves to allow themselve to be complete without an "accessory".
Some people simply want someone that they can show off. I think most people are simply scared to be alone and are afraid to be responsible and accountable for themselves.
Then, too, you have it plastered in front of your face about this couple and that couple and "what a cute couple" and "why don't you go out with that boy/girl? They seem so nice", and on and on, until you want to scream "Hey, I am o.k. with who I am and don't need someone else to make me whole!!!" Eventually you quit believing that you are a whole person in and of yourself - if you believed it ever.
Sad. It seems that this is especially true of girls/women. Somehow they have bought into the whole myth that men will make them complete and whole human beings, rather than knowing the truth that men can only bring that wholeness/completeness to a new level - given the right man and not just any man.

Because we human can't be alone. We always need someone to love and care for us. We have this need of sharing.
Loneliness is the worst thing we fear. Alone we are incomplete; together we complete each other. That's the way round and it always be!
Sometimes we want to be alone but we can't remain for long.

I think its to do with society in general regarding our norms and values (behaviour that is considered acceptable and is expected of everyone).. in others relationship behaviour is dictated to people and we are given a set of guidelines to follow. If people choose not to have a family, they are often considered weird by their peers, etc. Thus most of us feel we need to have a partner to belong in society. Another valid point, is that most people will find partners, which means that friendship groups will inevitably be split up, as members of groups pare up with their own partners. Eventually a lot of people may feel they have to find a partner simply to avoid being alone when their friends have other people to see

A lotta people like the security of having a significant other... it's just different than family or friends. I'm 17, and I'm perfectly ok with not having a boyfriend. If I meet a great guy, then that would be awesome, but at this point I'm not worried about finding Mr. Right.

That is true......however I have been on my own for a long time now and find I am even more complete without a partner than when I had one. I just love silence, I love my work, I love my books, I love me, which is important, if you dont 'LOVE' yourself you could never live with yourself alone and without a partner.

i don't know if it is incomplete, as much as society putting pressure on people to be part of a couple,otherwise they may be seen as weird or a loser. it starts when you are a teen and everyone around you either has a bf or gf ,or at least pretends to. well meaning uncles and parents can tease kids when they think they have reached that stage ,which makes them feel that it is natural and expected.
luckily loads of people outgrow that notion and are quite happy to be single.

its an accepted fact in life that humans are ment to find a lifelong partner to reprocreate with. With happy couples all around, it can often make a single person feel the void in their life.

Laziness.
To develop one's self beyond incompleteness would take some time and effort.

cuz we were never meant to be alone. in all of literature, the loners were the bad people, and the good people had partners. then there's the family pressure where if you're not in a relationship, then you're a bad person. it just makes you feel like you're not alone in this world, and the other person gives you something that you can't find in friends, something you can't find in family. how you fit together, it's reassuring somehow.

I must admit I agree with annette the only thing I would add to it would be there is a difference between being alone and being lonely. I live alone but am never lonely
