I see so many people settle for bad relationships just because they do not want to be alone. What is so terrible about being alone?

It doesn't bother me! Yet for some it's pure torture.

If you can find peace and happiness in living alone, then you've got something very special.
Being alone is not good.
There's a difference with being alone and not being married.
Single people are not always lonely.
More married people are lonely than are single people.
People who settle for bad relationships are actually living a very lonely life.
Most people who settle for bad relationships, actually thrive on bad relationships, they most probably were brought up in bad relationships and see it as a challenge.
A healthy person who wants to live healthy does not stay in a lonely bad relationship.
People cannot tell the difference between a bad relationship and a healthy relationship because they never had the opportunity to experience a healthy living atmosphere.
If you placed this kind of person in a healthy family atmosphere they wouldn't be able to communicate with these healthy people.
As a matter of fact, what would probably happen is either the healthy people would begin to act like the unhealthy person, or if the healthy people were strong enough to handle the pressure from the unhealthy person, then the unhealthy person would begin to act like the healthy people.
People in an unhealthy relationship can only survive in an unhealthy relationship, most of the time. Their self esteem is so low that they settle for servival.
It all has to do with how much you value your self. What do you think you are worth.
Hope this helps.

People with ambivert or extremely extroverted personalities need the closeness and attention of others. It is a necessity for those types, as they cannot stand being alone and will settle for anyone willing to spend time with them. Introverts are just the opposite and don't mind being alone, as they embrace solitude. Bad relationships are a common staple for the extrovert because being alone is the worst thing they could ever imagine.

I know. It makes me so angry, too, especially when the person in the crappy relationship is a friend who is gentle and wonderful and deserving of better.
I love not being in a committed relationship because it leaves so much free time. I think people forget to put things into perspective - alone time is a wonderful time to grow within oneself, to cultivate one's mind and thoughts through reading and writing and music and meditation and learning.
The quintessential heterosexual married relationship is glamorized by our media and culture. The unattached human being is portrayed as either crazy, evil, bitter and incapable of love, or desperately sad and unwilling to admit it to him/herself. I (and probably most unattached people) am none of these things. I have yet to see a married relationship anywhere that is even remotely similar to the one in America's cultural imagination. Not even my own parents' was.

I am afraid. I am now use to it. You must be mistaken about other people. And if you want to know that "What is so terrible about being alone?" So I want you to check yourself. Be alone and test your self, how do you feel about it and tell me.

There are many possibilities regarding this.
There is nothing "wrong" with being alone. Also; it depends on how one defines "being alone" means to the individual.

I've been alone my entire life and prefer it that way but it is nice to have someone around to talk to sometimes. It can be hard to find someone open minded and intelligent enough to talk to most of the time though.

Coz they can't be alone with themselves & they need someone else to validate who they think they are.
I like living alone & hanging out with myself :)

The silence...no one to talk to! But then again it's sometimes cool to be alone!
