Picklethewickle Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Relationships are often portrayed as the peak of life, and being out of a relationship is something you come to terms with until you can change matters. Me, I really like being single. Does anyone else feel like being single is their way of living their best life? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa1116 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I'm not to sure if I prefer not to be in one since I haven't been in one yet, but right now I think I'm good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milk Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 sometimes i feel like a relationship would be nice, but then imagining a romantic one feels awkward /forced to me... I think I just want a best friend(s) :p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemogoblin Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Ime relationships are awful and draining. I like getting to just do what I want on my time. What a relief. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nix Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Oh yes, being single is definitely the best way to live for me.

Lunar Nova Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 yeah, when I was in my past two relationships it looked more like we were really close best friends and not dating now that I think back to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aro Mando Echo Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Definitely not looking for a relationship now, and since I'm very introverted, I do prefer solitude. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a relief. what's an lme relationship I kind of want a QPR with a close friend, but he's out of reach. I don't really need a romantic relationship. I'm fine being single, but I do wish I could have someone to spend my time with every day, like a best friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I feel that way! I am very happy to have no partners, romantic or otherwise. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alto Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I used to be neutral, but then I saw some AVEN posts about how hard mixed relationships are. A thought popped into my head that basically went, "I'm so glad I don't do this anymore." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodbyeRepublicServices Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 No romantic relationships or QPRs for me. Hell, sometimes even having regular friends can be draining. When I'm at home, getting chores done, exercising, studying a foreign language, watching various things on YouTube, etc., and I do it alone, to me, that's the real definition of freedom. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I'm pretty neutral about this tbh. Like yes, being in a romantic relationship does sound nice to me, but I don't think I'd want to be in one. I'm not so sure about QPR's though. I mean they also sound nice, and I'd like to have a strong emotional bond with someone, but they're not necessarily appealing to me, you know?? I don't know, committing to any of them sounds so troublesome, but also really interesting, and maybe even fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIVI0 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 indeed. romantic relationships seems tedious; having to give ur partner all ur attention and affection to the point ure starting to neglect ur friends; family & other bonds uve formed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I identify more as a solo than I do aromantic, since it's about the choice rather than the attraction. The podcast also has some very interesting content that is useful to life overall. For example the episode about emotional intelligence was very enlightening for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m only 15 and I know I don’t want to live alone, maybe just a qpr with a friend who has the same occupation as me when the time comes. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Newest Fabled Creature Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I'm very much happy being single! It's the only "relationship" status of mine that I can still see myself being happy in, in the far future!

root22 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I'm a very private person in many ways. I've always viewed romance pessimistically but the idea of being very close to someone and being vulnerable around them also seems utterly unappealing to me. I don't one to be someone's One person they are closer to than anyone and the responsibility that comes with this (I'm aware poly relationships exist but I assime the dynamic here is very different and varied). A close friendship is much more free than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
