I Would Rather Be Alone Than Be With the Wrong Person

Alone, Not Lonely... People need to learn the difference. Being alone doesn't necessarily means someone is lonely. As being lonely may caused by aloneness, but there are many other reasons for that. There are many lonely people that are actually in a relationship. Now how does that happen?
When we are lonely, we feel alone even in a crowded place because we can't find a way to feel their presence.
I may be alone, but I'm not lonely. In fact I'm pretty contented with what I have.
Being with the wrong person is not an option for me. It's exhausting. Waste of energy. Waste of feeling and emotion. Waste of time. If you want to try and work it out, go ahead. No one's stopping you. If it works, well congratulations. If not, you could try again and wait, or you could start to accept the fact that it won't happen.
Try again and wait, hoping, that it would eventually works. But until when? When is eventually? They say everybody deserves a second chance. I am, for one, not that royal. Second chance is a gift bestowed upon you and you must, respect it, use it to prove that you're worthy of that chance.
I've seen enough, to know that many people don't appreciate the second chance given to them. Some, don't even deserve it.
I know it sounds harsh and heartless, but it's the ugly truth.
We deserves better, we deserves to be with the right person and to find that we need to let go of the wrong person.

You're right that there's a difference between being alone and being lonely. I think many people are in relationships (or stay in them longer) simply because they fear being alone. Whether a person deserves a second (or third) chance is case-specific. It will be interesting to see what your feelings will be later on in life.

Yes, when you're in a relationship, somehow you get used to having someone, you get dependent, you're becoming vulnerable... So some choose to stay, even in an unhealthy relationship.
Ahh, right. It would be interesting.
