I really prefer going solo. My individual freedom is fantastic, I get to do whatever it is I wish, when and how I do.
Trying to find that special one was super exhausting and it was a genuine relief when I realized I don't actually have to chase that dream others created for me.
Jup. Trying to figure out how to get friends or connect with people, and forcing myself into social stuff, it nearly broke me 10 years or so ago. The idea that my happiness is my responsibility, I cant wait around for someone else, it was a relief. (Or a coping mechanism? Idk, im no psychologist.)
