Why do people feel that everyone should be in a relationship? I am perfectly happy being single,I have no need to be in a relationship,but for some reason my mother's boyfriend thinks that he needs to find me a boyfriend. [img:$uid]http://prince.org/i/s/icon_confused.gif[/img:$uid]
Why do people seem to think it is odd when someone tells them "I am happy being alone".
Has anyone else had to deal with this? [Edited 12/21/11 19:44pm] Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ~Berthold Auerbach | |

Because many people think that what works for them means it MUST work for everyone. They simply they can not understand that not everyone is like them, nor should they be.

"Its none of your business"
is what you want to say to people... I was so sick of those remarks made to me.
When a girlfriend or family member would ask... I would start talking about the latest vibrator I bought in a very crude way .... they would RUN away from me in disgust.
I didn't even own a vibrator then, I would just lie and talk trash to offend them so they would get turned off by me and not seek any conversation with me again.
Yeah... just keep the convo on the weather and leave my personal life the hell alone.

Oh no ...
not everyone needs / wants / is able to be in relationship nor should they be expected to by an opinion that it's the "norm" to do so

Not everyone thinks being in a relationship is "the norm", either. Honey, stop talking and just create the music. | |

Ah screw'em...
I'd like to be in a relationship myself, but it won't kill me if I"m not. I'm perfectly capable and happy being single. 'Sides, most of the time, I'm nose deep in a book to care.
Although every once in a while, my relatives from Egypt ask my parents "how old is she now?" [Edited 12/21/11 22:06pm] The salvation of man is through love and in love. - Dr. V. Frankl

Well...in "their" defense...human beings ARE "social creatures" and it's in our primal nature to seek/crave/want companionship.
However...I agree, it's no longer a prerequisite for a full life to be "tied" to someone.
It's a new world with new rules.

On one side, people think that everyone should have what they have because they are happy, on another side, people are bored with their own lives and want to "hook" people up and meddle when its unnecessary. This is what I dread about the holidays because this is when my family starts to look around and see who isn't in a relationship and ask "so when do you plan on getting married to someone"?
Anywho, the way I deal with it is responding back "oh I'm good by myself right now, thank you. Next subject." And mind you, the ones who do all the asking about finding you someone, are most likely the ones who need to focus on their OWN relationships. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

God made us to be together, not alone.
Togetherness happens at its own pace, however. No one can force love upon you. When it comes, it comes. | |

Because a lot of people are morons. Instead of minding their fucking business and worrying about their own pathetic lives, they love telling others what they should do. I used to get that from family, even my father - wanting to set me up with so-and-so's daughter or telling me some fairy-tale-god will make a way. I put a stop to that horse shit real quick.
I love being alone, but I'm never lonely. | |

I think it stems from a combination of (often but not always misguided) concern for those who are "alone" and a selfish desire to see other people fit in the boxes they make for them. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

I agree with being alone but not lonely too. There is this girl I want to just tell off so bad right now. Every once in awhile, some naive little bitch will say stuff to me even if I explain myself. | |

^yep, this
and because a lot of people have low self-esteem, many people fear that if they're alone, the society will judge them as ugly or/and worthless, boring, uncaring, etc
