Being Single

[amberfishy]

I hate lying to people who have just broken up to their significant others, and saying that being single is great. We are biologically programmed to FUCK and BE FUCKED. And HAVE BABIES. Goddamn stupid babies. Being single is constantly feeling like you are missing something in your life and trying to convince yourself that you can be happy alone. I

Being single is constantly feeling like you are missing something in your life and trying to convince yourself that you can be happy alone.

Being single was the happiest time of my life, so maybe it's different strokes for different folks. I never had to try and convince myself of anything, or lie to myself, or pretend I was happy. I just was much happier and well-adjusted than I am now.

Do you know what it is about being with someone that makes you so much happier than being single? I.e. have you ever listed all the things and consciously ruled out the ones that you absolutely can't provide for yourself? (i.e. a penis, since I imagine that's one of them. :) )

On reflection, it probably has been the happiest time of my life also, but I can still think of a few things that make it better, and that I am somehow 'missing out' on something that other people have, and that makes me annoyed that I should feel like I am missing anything.

I've dissected this at length, so in answer to your question, I think it is mostly a self-esteem issue. I think in the end, even though I am pretty confident in myself generally speaking, I need that other person to 'want' me an accept me in order to feel validated.

So I guess I am tired of the difficult struggle to reclaim and retain my own sovereignty. Damn, it's tiring, especially when it gets sabotaged so easily.

Being single makes me feel incredidbly stupid. All the time! All the goddamn time.

I don't mind being single so much, if it wasn't for the not-getting-any-sex aspect of it. Oh yeah, and seeing couples everywhere can sting a bit.

The not getting any sex aspect kind of bites! For some reason, couples just kind of annoy me. Funnily I think 'those poor suckers who aren't alone, who have to refer to eachother to make choices. Ha-ha-ha-ha. Ha.'
