Anyone out there happy about being single?

Post Reply New Topic

I can relate a little, not with the getting married thing as I always knew I wanted to get married and it was nothing to do with what anyone else or society thought.

But to me it translates to a career... I am just not ambitious and people expect me to want to climb some sort of career ladder but I have a poor attention span so I am not really the tenacious, focused, hard working type, I kind of live for my leisure time and time with friends, family, animals. I am not motivated by career success at all.

But I was expected to want this. I did want to do a few career things, but they were things which had a high social aspect and that clashed with the AS side of me, so I couldnt fulfil any of my career goals.

I wish I was one of those aspies good at maths or with systems, but I am into things like languages, and word-related stuff, but talking to other people has never been my thing- lack of skills and difficulty with face to face contact.

If I was an NT I would probably have done something like journalism, PR, social work, or counselling, but as I am I dont really fit in anywhere in the work world, my brain just doesnt seem to be set up well for it.

Anyway, just saying that I can relate a bit.

I wouldnt say I gave up but I just dont think about it anymore and Im quite happy where Im at, as single.
I feel like I tried, had some kids...

oh and things just kinda didnt work out.

As I got dumped via text message yesterday the answer to this question is a massive NO!

But give it a couple of weeks, then it won't be so bad.

aww, sorry to hear.
text message - that's a nasty way to do it. D:

Thanks, but I'm ok and better off without them to be honest after they inadvertently admitted they were looking elsewhere, which to me is as good as cheating.

If you can't tell someone in person that you don't want to be with them, then it just shows they've got no respect for you, and I haven't got time for people like that.

I’m not really happy about being single, then again I'm not too bothered about it one way or another really. I used to be very upset that I didn't have a boyfriend, but I have been in some relationships in the past 6 years and I really couldn't be arsed with it. You might even say, I had a good chance of settling down with someone who liked me, but I backed away. I just didn't feel ready. The last man I went out with just kept on and on texting me, and I got sick of it. My credit kept on going down on my mobile phone, and then he kept on ringing my house phone, and I got so sick and tired of it. I'm not being nasty, but he was too small for a man - he was smaller than me, and to be honest it's mostly the body size what counts. Because I'm a stupid tall, lanky person, I don't feel right with a tiny skinny man who probably weighs less than me, so I grew bored and tired of him, and told him I just wanted to be friends. That was 7 months ago or more, and he is still friends with me now - but he is waiting for me to turn around to him one day and say, ''OK - let's give it another go.'' Well, he's got another think coming!

I'm 21 this month - I've still got my whole life ahead of me to look for boyfriends. Right now I'm more worried about getting a job. Perhaps once I'm in a job and settled, my state of mind might be better, and I then will give relationships another go - that is, if the man suits me. There is a man I have a crush on at the moment, and he keeps smiling to me too. Hopefully soon I will get chatting to him. He's already pointed out how beautiful I am compared to the other women he sees.

They could of at least been nicer about it...

Sorry to hear about that....

Anyway, on-topic...I don't care either way...I tend to rush into things anyway so I have managed to calm down since those teenaged years where I rushed literally everything (even relationships...but even then it was going a snail's pace).

I'm a very happy, generally content person and I've always been single.
Honestly, I can't imagine it any other way.

I don't know what else to say besides that.

I'm more bothered about having friends.

I assume most of us are but the threads about being single and whether we are happy or not.

Ive been single for 3 years now and sometimes I wish I had someone I dont know why as I have not done so well in the 2 relationships I have had in my life.I have a 4 year old daughter with the last girlfriend I had and that makes things a little hard plus since I love videogames too that also makes it difficult to find someone so I just dont really try.I think its mostly when I watch movies and I see the hollywood version of a relationship that makes me want to be with someone.

Not really. I'm single the vast majority of the time so I get really bored of it. >.<

Lol. It is a mixed blessing. But it beats the hell out of being in an unhappy relationship. Also you can play with kittens.

No, I wanted to be born as twin.

After my few experiences with relationships, seeing other relationships in action, and seeing how the majority of the male gender treats me...Yes. I am definitely happy about being single.
