It's Monday and yes, I am going to vent.

With the never ending posts, why cant I find love? why this? why that? what the hell is wrong with being single? why are so many people so unable to rely on themselves for fulfillment or happiness? being single is not a detriment, what is a detriment is what you do with your time while you're single?

Has anyone been in a crowded room, surrounded by people, friends, family, loved ones etc and still felt alone??? People often confuse being/feeling alone with being lonely. People this happens, suck it up and move forward. I love me, I love life, I would love to share it, but that will not define me, for I will always be me :heart: and it will come when it comes, for I am not searching for a thing :wink:

Good luck to those that find love, companionship, but for the rest of us, if you cant make yourself feel good, why would someone else want to share your life?

I am on a roll today... wtg meeeeeeeee...
dont bow, throw $$$ ... laugh laugh laugh

There is nothing wrong being involved, being in a relationship, being in love... but sometimes, I feel I should be with a tissue handy before I read some posts, and it upsets me to no end to hear the way some people come across in their posts, so needy and incomplete!!!! Just irks me!!

{OK OK, getting off soap box now}

Like what you said Fran, and I agree.
I posted this on someone elses topic this weekend, but worth sharing again.
In many ways it’s a great thing to embrace being single. It’s a very liberated and free time. Just think about it. You will probably be spending most of your lifetime being married or what not than you will be single. So enjoy that limited time that you have. And most importantly make the most of it!

When I say focus on yourself, I mean a number of things by that. I mean rediscover all the things that you love doing. That really make you feel like yourself. Do things that bring out the best in you. Hang out with your friends and family. Do things that you couldn't do when you are with a partner. Explore, experiment, take chances. Do things that feed your mind, body and spirit.

Love and embrace being single. Love your life. Love every moment, or everyday of every single hour. Because no-one can ever give you that time back. Once it is gone .. it is lost forever and all you have is the wonderful memories of the past. That’s it.

and when you least expect it someone comes into your life. Its about not trying too hard. Sorry if i rambled here...just my in put.....teresa

Sometimes the single parenting. Other then that, not much. I may feel differently, in time. :smile:

It's Monday and yes, I am going to vent.

With the never ending posts, why cant I find love? why this? why that? what the hell is wrong with being single? why are so many people so unable to rely on themselves for fulfillment or happiness? being single is not a detriment, what is a detriment is what you do with your time while you're single?

Has anyone been in a crowded room, surrounded by people, friends, family, loved ones etc and still felt alone??? People often confuse being/feeling alone with being lonely. People this happens, suck it up and move forward. I love me, I love life, I would love to share it, but that will not define me, for I will always be me :heart: and it will come when it comes, for I am not searching for a thing :wink:

Good luck to those that find love, companionship, but for the rest of us, if you cant make yourself feel good, why would someone else want to share your life?






......on the mark...I have been single most of my adult life...now w/my kids all grown....I like the idea of an other adult to hang w/that shares some of my likes and etc....but if It doesnt work out with the whoevers I do attract and visa versa...being alone cant be that bad..I know what good company I can be...I'm not gonna sweat it, somebody thinkin I'm pretty special will just be more icing on lifes cake...

Like anything else, if you don't get to date for a long time, it becomes a big deal. Little things naturally become a big deal when you're bereft of them. Like if you couldn't brush your teeth for a week, you'd REALLY want to be able to brush your teeth again. Exept with dating, the fact that you REALLY want to go on dates again when you haven't for too long, that becomes a reason for people to act like that means that you're unhealthily fixated on dating, hence undatable. Vicious cycle.
