I love being single

Never imagined, I would ever say that, but I do. Yes, I have been hurt way too many times in relationships in the past, and because of that has dragged me further down. I will not go down that road again. Staying single and practicing self love, has allowed me to protect myself from ever getting hurt again and to be cautious of others. For the first time in a long time, I see my own beauty from the inside and out. Since focusing on myself, I can fully say that I completely understand what true happiness and true love is, because I have found it within myself. I love myself so much.

If you can fully embrace being single and living only for yourself any other people that *you* choose to include in your life (which could be a lover, or children, or special friends) will hopefully be on your level, so you will be free and happy with positive inclusions.

I've been learning to embrace that since mid-2018 and success in life at a single person is a very strong thing.

As for sex, intimacy, romantic adult-type elationships, etc. I've decided I really don't need them to be happy and positive in life. I am not social and don't do friends like women tend to.

@zonavar68 Yes, very well said.

Me too. It’s easier not having to worry about having lots of money for family. I’m not saying that it in a negative way
NaturalBeautyQueen · 41-45, F
@SJones48 I get it.

I can understand. After 47 years of a sometimes difficult marriage, I am comfortable with my own company.
NaturalBeautyQueen · 41-45, F
@novaguy2u that’s great to hear. Nothing wrong with having your own company. I can understand that as well.

It just means that you could not figure out how to play the game and got hurt way too many times playing it the wrong way. You are now single without a choice and you claim to love it because you have developed a phobia for getting hurt. It's like some one giving up on horse riding after being not able to mount it or getting thrown out each time.

OR you are the horse and just dislike the way riders treated you.

@in10RjFox First of all, if a relationship is nothing more than just a game, then I don’t want it. I’m not interested in playing games with people, I am way too old for that. Secondly, I wouldn’t walk inside of a burning building knowing that the stakes of me getting hurt, are very high. Having a relationship doesn’t mean happiness. Before being in any successful relationship, you have to first find comfort and love within yourself.

And what if I am the horse, and didn’t like the way I was treated? So what? And so what if I have a fear of getting hurt again? Theirs is still nothing wrong with taking time to figure yourself out, and choosing to be happy self love, over a relationship, that may or may not fail.

I’m sorry that you don’t know what self love feels like.

Have to love yourself, more important than anything else
NaturalBeautyQueen · 41-45, F
@Jackhoff So true
Wizardry · 46-50, M
Like being single as well. More freedom etc
NaturalBeautyQueen · 41-45, F
@Wizardry agreed. The freedom is amazing.
Wizardry · 46-50, M
@NaturalBeautyQueen especially for being nude as well
In my experience, the reward is not worth the effort.
NaturalBeautyQueen · 41-45, F
@SmileOnYourBrother I don’t know if I would call being in a relationship a reward lol. They cause too much pain and drama in my opinion. 😂

Self love takes the edge off but I have found it’s nothing like the real thing. The feel of a woman in my arms giving her pleasure and her giving me pleasure is the best.
NaturalBeautyQueen · 41-45, F
@SalttyDawg That’s fine if that works for you, but personally for me, that’s just not my thing.
SalttyDawg · 70-79, M
@NaturalBeautyQueen
I understand. It’s difficult for some to separate love from sex

@AgentOfChaos I cannot go through those again 🫣
NaturalBeautyQueen · 41-45, F
@Ashly Yes, I’ve been single and celibate for going on 10 years, and its been the best decision, I’ve ever made, because it has led me to focus on self love. It can be difficult at first, but you’ll have to decide on what would you prefer.
Ashly · 26-30, F
@NaturalBeautyQueen I can’t do that ☹ I want a husband and kids and even tho I’m single now I never loose hope, even though some days I feel like they may not happen 😕
Donotfolowme · 51-55, F
I felt truly free when I got out of a stressful unfaithful relationship in 2010 every passing moment was a breath of fresh air. Then again I attracted more weirdos and life got back on track of misery 😂
NaturalBeautyQueen · 41-45, F
@Donotfolowme I can understand that.

What is self-love?
NaturalBeautyQueen · 41-45, F
@Northwest Self love is learning and knowing to love yourself.
Northwest · M
@NaturalBeautyQueen
love yourself

If you mean to accept and appreciate all parts of yourself, including flaws, by practicing self-compassion, setting healthy boundaries, taking care of your physical and mental health, recognizing your strengths, forgiving yourself for mistakes, and treating yourself with the same kindness you would show a loved one; essentially, building a positive relationship with yourself where you feel worthy and valued regardless of external factors, great.

But being in a relationship doesn't preclude you from doing that. The former gives you a better shot at getting into a healthy relationship.
NaturalBeautyQueen · 41-45, F
@Northwest That may be for those that want a relationship. For me, having a relationship does not interest me. It’s been almost 10 years, since I’ve been without a relationship, and I like where I’m at.
Moneyonmymind · 31-35, M
Being single has its perks and for the moment is pretty ok for me. Just wish my mom would stop pushing me to date people 🙄
NaturalBeautyQueen · 41-45, F
@Moneyonmymind I’m sorry to hear that about your mom pushing you. I had to put my foot down with my family and tell them, that I’m not interested in dating anybody.
Moneyonmymind · 31-35, M
@NaturalBeautyQueen i get she wants me to be happy but not everyone is meant for dating
