I’ve been single for quite some time – almost four years. For the most part, I like it this way. I don’t have a burning desire to be in a relationship or even to date. I enjoy building my life up, discovering more of myself and providing for myself. But, I do see some disadvantages of the single life.
It seems if you are single, friends and family aren’t that interested in your life. If you have a new friend, it isn’t newsworthy unless they are of a romantic interest. Friends can go on and on about their boyfriends, girlfriends or spouse, but anything that’s going on in your life is at the bottom of the interest ladder. They don’t seem to understand that whatever is going on in your life is meaningful to you, no matter if it doesn’t include a romantic interest. Notice how they cut you off to talk about their life? But, the minute you would get involved with a romantic interest their interest would peak. I find that strange!
Another disadvantage is when a scary situation comes up such as a tornado watch we had in my area the other day or a fight that broke out with two unknown people on my property. I looked around and didn’t see a single sole. I had to take care of the situations by myself. It was a sobering thought. There are times that second body in my home would come in handy!
On the flip side, I feel rather good about myself that I do handle most things well and by myself. As they say, ‘what doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger’. I should be very strong in a couple of years!
Your totally strong hope things work out for you dude.
problems persists, but still stand up and show the world that u can live alone.. hail bachelor life..
