Is it better to be lonely or to tolerate someone just so you wouldn't be alone ? honest...

Better to be alone. The wrong person will drive the right person away. You don't need father figures or mother figures, gurus, etc. You're an adult. You dreamed to be independent when you were a child, only to chain yourself as an adult??? Only person you should be with is that special one.

Its better to stop relying on romantic relationships to deal with basic emotions

Definitely be alone... It's harder to find the right person when you're still with the wrong person

I used to have friends. But with the course of time, I learned that friends tend to be manipulative and selfish for their own needs.

So in that regard I would say I'm better off without them. I haven't had them for a while. I don't want them either. I'm better off this way and I'm used to being this way.

You can be lonely and never be alone. I know that all too well.

Much better to develop other interests to combat loneliness, like volunteering. No good personal relationships are based upon [b]tolerance[/b]

it’s better to have a bunch of friends that love you for who you are!
then you don’t have to settle for tolerating anyone....

and dating can be a fun experience where you learn what you like and don’t like about a person and yourself

b/c rejection doesn’t hurt you ....your friends already love who you are

this help?

Never settle, if you can remember that you are alone because there is one out there that will be worth the wait, then you can turn your loneliness into aloneness.

Alone. No doubt.

Being with someone you merely tolerate isn’t going to make you less lonely. It will just distract you with annoyance. Makes more sense to distract yourself with something pleasant.
