Question

Would you be OK living on your own for the rest of your life?

Answer 1

not at all man that would suck

Answer 2

You would probably go crazy, and no one will look after you when you are older so set a date for your suicide

Answer 3

Yes. I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain. It's laughter and it's loving I disdain!

Answer 4

yea i wouldnt mind, easy life

Answer 5

Of course I'd be ok, been doing that anyways, lol.

Answer 6

Not at all - humans are sociable by nature, have a s*x drive by nature (or so I presume) and have a need in fullfillment by nature - all this means: don't be lonely, don't be lonely, it's not healthy, it's not natural.

But you get the occasional exception - incidentally, I am not one of the exceptions.  

Answer 7

Totally. I'm in a relationship, he and I have been living together...but I'm definately very secure, so if it came down to it and our relationship changed, I'd definately be ready to live alone for the rest of my life, if no one else entered back in.

Answer 11

Yea i think i would be okay with that.

Living on my own doesnt mean i'm lonely.

My definition of living on my own is to not have someone to be with (no marriage n living together stuff).

So yeah, i think that'd be okay for me. I would.

Answer 12

No.

I think the reason is more --- genetic --- or something. It's very deeply ingrained in us to "pair off".

That said, I've spent many years alone and don't seem to mind it so much at the time.

Answer 13

I wouldnt like to but yeah (touch wood) if things work out that way i'd be ok.

Answer 14

As long as I had enough money to take care of essential expenses and afford some entertaining luxuries, yes.  I don't really get lonely.

Answer 15

i would.

Answer 16

having done it, it was fun, but i prefer life with my partner - can't imagine it any other way now.  

Answer 17

No.  I can't even come up with a good reason why I would even consider it.  

Answer 18

In my view we are always alone. We love, and / or admire people, but we are never totally, perfectly understood, and we ourselves, never understand others totally. We are trapped in our minds and limited by language.

The ideal compromise would be to be in a relationship with someone who is conscious of this too. You have the choice: you can either be openly single, and have moments of dependence on others, or attraction to others at various points in your life, or be in a relationship, and enjoy the benefits of companionship, but suffer from the frustration of mental loneliness.

Answer 19

Yep - singledom is much, much preferable to the s**t I took while I was married.  

Answer 20

I feel as that it so, even thought I have technically never done so.  Living with others seems to be a hindrance or an imposition on my own living habits.  But i would not be truthful if I did not admit that I would like to be with a woman who complements me until the end of our days

Answer 21

i think i could
