Is it worse to be alone or with someone you are not that happy with?

Question

I suppose then you are kind of using them,which is not nice,but being alone is not nice?

I mean in any relationship-friends,family,partner.

Answer 1

id say alone. because then you wouldnt be worrying the whole time about what you should do because you wouldnt have another choice :) but thats juts my opinion

Answer 2

We seem to encounter both phenomenon in life. Neither are any fun when you have to do it against your will. If you are alone and that is not what you wanted is just as bad as having to be with someone when it is not what you wanted. And after I have been with someone I don't want to be for awhile all I want is to be left alone. And when I'm alone and get tired of it I go and find company.
Now about using others. We all do. A baby uses its mother to get milk. It is a selfish activity. But it is also an agreement made where the mother says "use me, that is what I am for". We use each other all the time and there is no getting around it. The thing is to know that and understand that and so try to make the "use" a mostly win win situation and then it is OK. But if you fail to make that level of exchange then the "use" is not beneficial to all involved and perhaps you feel guilty for "using" someone when all you had to do was grow up a little and realise that our input upon others is exactly that, using one another although not all the same and not all so well developed.

Answer 3

Well, that depends whether you are male or female.

sounds like it's female question to me.

for guys, it's simple, guys are not accepting psycological burden, so they rather be alone... so do i...

there are many definitions being alone is not nice.. but nobody is alone if you can broaden your horizon and your friendships.. smiling is a human's best medicine and you can always have fun with or without someone... for example, hobby or special interest will help you stay off from being alone, so, there's no loneliness unless you are seeking for it....

so, be happy and make sure you are not meaning to use someone, so that u don't feel bad in either way....

since you are thinking if using people, then not nice comment, you are a nice person and you know what you gotta do.

hope that helps

It is something only you can decide and it may not be useful to take other peoples ideas or experiences as every relationship is different. If the relationship is abusive or violent then I would suggest that perhaps there is someone out there who will treat you much better. If it is just a relationship that has lost its spark, maybe you can go some way towards working together to patch it up. TRY BRAINSTORMING:-
Sit down with a large piece of writing paper...draw a line down the middle and write all the reasons why you should stay down one side and all the reasons why you should go down the other.......it can help you make a decision either way and it may not be because of the amount of reasons...it may be just one that makes you decide. Do try it!
Best wishes, Mike.

Answer 5

You seem to be saying that 'being alone is not nice, but that it is better to use someone to NOT be alone.'

Without further references as to what you are meaning when you say 'using someone' ~ as in 'what way' you are using them ~ , and just what you mean by 'being alone'? Do you mean as in 'alone in life,' or 'alone for the day' or alone for.....!' then it's not easy to answer you further.

There is nothing intrinsically wrong in 'using people,' especially with their consent ~ although it depends on the circumstances of the time and place. What matters is as to the degree of usage and whether it is liable to slip over the boundary into ab-usage.

Sorry, but a lot depends on the context that you don't spell out here.

Sash.

Answer 6

I am in a relationship where I am miserable most of the time and I would rather be alone and have some peace in my life but I don't have many options now.

Answer 7

are you talking about a marriage the spark has gone out
of or just a relationship?
if you are married you have given vows to someone and
need to work with them to repair the relationship if possible.
especially if there are children involved. children deserve
a mother and a father who are working together for the
children's best interest.
if it is just a relationship, get out. alone is better.

Answer 8

There's nothing wrong with being alone. If you stay with someone you don't like because you're afraid to be alone, you need professional help. That's really sad.

Answer 9

Being alone is hands down better. Otherwise you have to deal with two conflicting personalities. Best left alone!

Answer 10

There's nothing wrong with being alone - it's certainly much better to be in your own company rather than that of someone you don't actually like. You should try it, you may like it.

Answer 11

being alone is only a state of mind i have been alone for 22 years and never felt lonely as i have kept busy
