By "naturally single," I mean people who are content with single, and if they never get married or in a relationship, they're fine with it. I feel like it's hard to find such people in a society that's so obsessed with being paired with someone, but do you know of anyone who really couldn't care less that they're single? It doesn't mean that they're single for life. Some do end up being in relationships. They just weren't searching for one when it happened.

I think my immediate family is somewhat naturally single. My mom couldn't care less it seems--or she couldn't care less if her children never dated. (I have some friends whose parents worry about them because they haven't dated yet, and they're 21.) My sister's 26 and doesn't mind she's only had one boyfriend, and isn't looking for one a year after a breakup. My brother's 21 and doesn't care about relationships. If I end up single, I don't care if I end up being single for life. I mean, I see so many people around my age saying "Being single sucks" or writing emo journal entries about how they'll never find "the one." I just don't understand it.

So...

I want to get married someday, but I am just as okay with being alone forever. Both have perks and downfalls.

[Soffish]

Well at times I feel I'd function better without being desperately alone, but then again, I need my me time.

[1tty bitty kitty]

My husband, before he met me, thought he wasn't going to get married. That turned out well, didn't it? ^_^

[Venomous Vexation]

If I was single for the rest of my life? I imagine there would be a point where I was disappointed, and then after a certain point I'd no longer care.

I've been single for some time now, I'm actually okay with it.

[Nezyl]

I think I am.

Up until recently I was obsessed with relationships. Now whenever I imagine myself in the future, I see myself as happily single.

[ectogasm]

 
I always thought I was going to be single forever.
When I enter a relationship I gave the intentions on making it work and last.
I still need to work on a few things but Im willing to make them better.

If you ended up being single for the rest of your life, how would you feel?
Meh. I'd probably take lovers but dating I'm fine with not doing.
I never played wedding or house as a kid. I played single mom instead. I just figured I'd get what I wanted from a guy and be done with him. If my boyfriend died I'd probably book it to the ocean and see about living the rest of my life on Vancouver Island. Probably adopt.

Do you know anyone who's "naturally single"?
No one comes to mind.

Do you think our society is too obsessed with getting into relationships / falling in love / getting married?
Gods yes. Some people hop from relationship to relationship as if being single as a disease. What is so wrong with being single? Do people need constant evaluation? Do they feel worthless if they don't have someone to show off?

If you ended up being single for the rest of your life, how would you feel?

I've lived a quarter century without someone. I can go another quarter century.

Do you know anyone who's "naturally single"?

Me.

Do you think our society is too obsessed with getting into relationships / falling in love / getting married?

No.

[Roboken]

i do not care at all about relationships

[Namekuji Kimi]

If you ended up being single for the rest of your life, how would you feel?

Depressed, I love having physical and emotional companionship, I can't help it. Call me pathetic, but the thought of not being able to lay down next to my girlfriend every night when I sleep really makes me feel horrid.

Do you know anyone who's "naturally single"?'

I have a friend who is "naturally single," in the sense that he NATURALLY repels women, but it isn't because he doesn't desire a relationship, he just sucks with women.

Do you think our society is too obsessed with getting into relationships / falling in love / getting married?

Yes, but I don't think it is right to undermine the desire for love and relationships either; if you're seeking love and companionship in a constructive, non-obsessive manner while not letting your single status ruin your life, then that is fine.

I have single friends who are somewhat sad at being single, and casually seek companionship, but they put their own lives first, they laugh and have fun, and embrace life. They want love, but they're not emo, depressive, super-obsessed individuals who need to ******** get a life.

[British Tourettes]

- As long as I had good friends, I wouldn't mind being single for the rest of my life.
- Me and one of my oldest friends are. I'm married now, but I never looked for a partner and I never really cared if I was in a relationship or not. I had fun both in and out of one. And my best friend is dating a guy she's been with for about 3 or 4 years now and they're thinking about marriage. She was the same as me, though. She never dated much and she was perfectly fine when she wasn't in a relationship.
- Probably. My mother sure as hell pressured me to date and I know my friend's mother did too. I don't see why it's a big deal other than the fact that it's seen as normal and people think you're missing out if you're not with someone.

If you ended up being single for the rest of your life, how would you feel? heart

Probably a bit upset. I do want someone to spend the rest of my life with once I get older.

Do you know anyone who's "naturally single"? heart

Lol yeah me. I'm totally cool with not being in a relationship, its actually less stressful for me to be single.

Do you think our society is too obsessed with getting into relationships / falling in love / getting married? heart

Yes lol

[Linteia]

I am definitely not naturally single, but I'm also not naturally drawn to people. I would be devastated if I ended up alone at this point in my life, but I know people who are perfectly happy being single. I've noticed that the people who get concerned by others lack of social interest tend to be the ones who can't handle differences between others life styles and their own.
