Do you see being single as some kind of failure?
    #19025900 - 10/24/13 02:02 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

I was listening to a radio show with a sexologist/psychotherapist as the host and the subject was celibacy and how people feel about it.

There was a part where people were happy to be with themselves alone to get to know themselves better, etc.

Then there was the segment of unhappy single people. She brought up social pressure from friends and family to get a lover and not be the third wheel. She was also talking about being ashamed of going to parties alone and being alone in general. Then she brought up that some people see being single as a social failure and that people might be judging them or telling them not to be too picky.

What do you guys think about it?

Does being single put pressure on you? Are your family and friends on your ass asking you if you met somebody everytime you see them? Are you ashamed of being single?

just got out of a 4 year relationship

after the depression ended, the freedom was almost overwhelming.

I live alone too so I can literally do w/e the fuck I want, whenever I want, with whoever, wherever.


any time of day or night with nobody to answer to but myself.

I love being single. Goin 6yrs and strong.

Sometimes i feel like it would be nice to be in a relationship again, then i hang out with a couple and change my mind. Maybe in a few years i'll date again but i don't think i'm ready yet.

I see it as holding out for someone I fully want to be with.

When I meet the right girl, I know.


I'm having fun being single at the moment.  When you put pressure on yourself to get into a relationship you're missing the point, I think.  It's healthy to be able to be content with your own company.

I find it's about 1000 times better than forcing oneself to stay in an unhappy relationship. I think many people force themselves to stay in relationships where they are unhappy because they are afraid of being alone.

There is some social pressure though. It's kinda weird hanging with a couple just by yourself sometimes. The 3rd wheel syndrome, but I just try to not concern myself with such things.

What a bitch. Why would she say that? What difference would it make to her whether or not you went to her wedding alone? No need to pester you over that.

It's good that you fucked her friend, it proves you're like hardcore and manly and stuff

Why would you going to her wedding alone make anybody pissed off though? I just don't get what the problem in that would be

You're there at the wedding, there's other people at the wedding. You're all there together. What difference would it make if you drove there with another person or not?

I've never heard of that before, that's really interesting to me for some reason.

I can understand it being a sort of unspoken thing that goes on I guess, but why anybody would ever get annoyed because of that flies miles above my head.
