Do you think your better off alone?

Answer 1

Better off alone than what?

I'm better off alone that being with the wrong man. I'm independent and enjoy that freedom.

Some people think they have to be in a romantic relationship or something is wrong with them and they cannot handle being alone. That is a bit co-dependent, don't you think?

When someone is content to be alone, they can have a healthy relationship with someone.

Here's to loving yourself and LIKING yourself.... so it's ok to spend time just with yourself!

Best Wishes,

Answer 2

In this day and age yes, I do believe being alone and devoid of emotional responsibility is best. Less aggravation, more independence. You can allow some one into your personal space but they don't necessarily have the option to totally invade it unless you give the okay. I personally find my personal space my slice of heaven and I defend it fervently. I am far from unattractive and educated, pretty financially stable and don't expect much from anyone other than to disappoint me in one fashion or another so I avoid putting myself in such a position and maintain my distance. Many men have tried to assume the dominant role in my life and have crashed and burned in the process. I've been called many things, stuck up, tease, crazy, and yes the B word but that's all cool. At the end of the day, I go home and lock the door and enjoy my world the way I see fit. No one is worth sacrificing that for.

Answer 3

Pardon me for bucking the trend here, but...

God no. I'm *not* better off alone. And no, not just in a sense of not having "a relationship" going, ok?

I'm just thinking in terms of not having any real friends. Being alone in *that* regard is not my idea, ok? I mean, I'm not always easy to keep in touch with (I don't like the phone, sorry), but it isn't all me, and it *wasn't* all my idea to suddenly have everyone I know, online, offline, whatever, just take a powder.

Would I like to have a girlfriend? Yeah....but it's not absolutely crucial right now.

Do I need friends and *human contact* so I don't go crazy? YES. I'd say that is the more important basic need there, just people to talk to and be with who aren't hostile, you know?

Because the alternative is a madness all its own....thinking that the "humans", all of them, are cold and unfriendly and out to crush you. It's isolation and it breeds both alienation and paranoia.

So no, I am not better off alone...in the sense of having no one to even *be a friend*, ok?

(because I'm not sure I'll *ever* have a lady love at the rate I am going, ok?)

Answer 4

Only if your with someone just for the sake of not being alone. I have seen many friends get divorced and it is expensive and messy for kids. Live together first, you may know within a couple days or weeks if you are compatible.

Answer 5

If your relationship started out as one big mess and is constantly like that then you're better off alone. But it wouldn't be fair to end a relationship just like that if the mess was coming from both parties.
...this question is not answered without thinking twice though because it is when you lose that special person that you realize how much you love him/her. (If you're asking this question regarding serious relationships).

Answer 6

All I can say on that matter is; If, or when (God Forbid, no sarchasim, honestly God forbid) anything ever happen to my current husband.

I will never ever do it again.

With age, I have learned to enjoy my own company. I have no need for relationships! They are self serving and born of mutual convienience even in their best moments...

That is simply not good enough and the alternative doesn't exist...

Answer 7

I prefer to be alone whenever I have a problem or depressed.

Answer 8

Yes.

Answer 9

Yes. I am much more myself now that I am one instead of the dreaded 2.

Answer 10

yes
