Single people, have you found your confidence/self esteem getting lower with each passing year?

Maybe you met one person, or two people, or three, and you talked and maybe you even clicked, but things did not work out.
At some point, did you start thinking, that maybe it's you who's not good enough? Maybe you're the problem here.
Maybe you're ugly, or you're too dvmb or too stvp!d or too poor to find someone who loves you.
Maybe you have a sh!tty personality that repels everyone around you.
Or maybe you're just a b!tch or an ^ssh0le and people can't like you, let alone fall in love with you.

You ever think about that?

And each year you find yourself withdrawing more and more from people, until you have nobody, and no one around you.
So you sit alone, all by yourself, forever and ever.
With no one to hold your hand, or kiss you, or hug you, or support you when you're down.

Yes, but after several years of being exactly like you said, I have realized how incredibly happy I am to be alone now, doing what I want, when I want. And I realize that honestly there is probably no one in this world that could “ get “ me. I’m happier alone. I see the shit that other people go through in relationships and I am so thankful that I don’t have that drama in my own life. And yes, I have been married 4 times- been through 3 divorces and then lost the best husband in the world from an accident. I simply cannot go through any more loss, whether it’s from breaking up, divorce, or death. I realize that people are “ expected “ to grow up, get married, have kids, etc. it’s the norm. I think that’s a lot of the reason that people get so upset not being in a relationship- they feel like they don’t live up to society’s expectations.
