user,
is it possible to be alone and happy ?

Yes

If you love yourself and know how to be alone, yes. In fact it could be preferable.

Maybe if you're sufficiently mentally ill

Abso-fucking-lutely. In fsct, I would go so far as to say that if you are not happy alone, you will never truly be happy with others.

Learn to love yourself, be happy with yourself and you will find that others will too.

Very much so. I'm not terribly stable and I get by with only the occasional crippling "need people" episode.

Just because you're "alone" doesn't mean you're "lonely."

sauce on that gif pls

Yes. I haven't been in a relationship in 5 years and I'm incredibly happy. Great job, family, friends; all this makes me happy. But I'm not fulfilled and lately I've getting the urge to get out and meet women. Maybe it's because I'm turning 30 this year, I dunno. But look, I think it really depends on the individual more than anything else.

Long term, no. You become alienated and an outcast. You grow older wondering what you missed out on. There is joy in solitude and no marriages work, but being alone is not the answer.

Grass is always greener.

If youre alone you wish you had someone. If you had someone you wish you were alone and free.

Pretty much all that matters and makes you happy is everything outside a committed relationship. Go do more those things.

No. That's why God made Eve.

The story goes eve literally was the cause of all unhappiness.

I havent been in a relationship in over a year and Im as happy as Ive ever been.

Because the dumb bitch didn't listen to her man.

unlikely

Yes. I need sex I get sex,afterwards I send them away and go back to doing what I want and all my money goes to numero uno.

It's a very rare few who can remain content without interacting with other humans. We're social creatures after all.

Most of the LARPers on Sup Forums and r9k/ think they're """forever alone""" but they'd die without their mommy or little safe communities. Living truly along (think Ted Kacizinscki) would be challenging for most people and would drive them nuts. Go read stories of guys who have been in solitary for 40 years - most of them are completely broken and have severe mental issues.

That was Lillith

Are you talking specifically about not being in a relationship? Or do you mean not having friends as well?
Because that's miles apart I think. If you have regular social interaction, I personally have no trouble being happy, whether I'm in a relationship or not.

this make sense
i was an antisocial piece of shit for years even a hiki, now im trying to socialize but it gets really hard when i get too close to people even when they let it easy to me idk nice thread

> alone
> has friends
pick one

fuck this thread is killing me

Yes, entirety. Likely even more so. Its a mind game. When/If you realise that the sorrow felt from being alone is just a genetic drive to make you find a mate to reproduce with and complete your lifes purpose you can forcfully change that chain of thought and focus on the things in life that will make you happy like drugs money good food and basically doing whatever the fuck you want. The power is all in your head and yours alone. I was like you and then I got into a perfect relationship and I wasn't happy. I'm no longer in a relationship, I focused on myself and how I have everything.

Yes. I used to feel so shirty because I was alone. Now, I'm still alone, but I feel great. You have to just embrace it. Don't demonise being alone.

tell me more wise user

In fact, it's even more possible. Just keep to yourself and try and make some cash and just bang gold diggers and whores

>user,
>is it possible to be alone and happy ?
God I sure hope so. Otherwise It'll get pretty lonely after I commit world genocide.

wow great post man really great

it's possible to be content for sure but unless you're asexual or deepish on the spectrum, you start craving social normality and that prevents legit happiness if you're alone + we're wired to feel better when there's someone there who we're intimate with and know everything about and to have kids and all that

You know what you have to do. You know how you need to think. Doing it is the hardest and easiest part. Start today

I wanted to write more, but user said it all.

Being alone is vastly superior to relationships. I have been single for 9 years and celibate for 8 or so. Being able to reject women without worry is legitimately fulfilling to me.

I've been alone and happy for about 10 years. Recently an old friend of mine, who had just broken up with her latest boyfriend, was crying on my shoulder about the futility of attachments. She had been alone for a year when she got talked into dating the guy and now she was sad to be lonely. She was holding on to me and cursing the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune when we looked into each other's eyes and realized we felt really good. Not the weather is fine good, we must kiss and and fling our clothes cinematically then fuck like a record breaking gangbang in Vegas for Pornhub good. I'm sorry to say her brother walked in on us wondering why Ragnarok was happening in that bedroom, poor bastard.

I'd have told her to get the fuck away from me.

i think im done with therapy

Sure. There's a difference between being alone and being lonely. You can be alone without being lonely, and you can be lonely without being alone.

You wont change a thing. But if you do remember me
