Is it better to be alone or to have someone there with you?

depending on how a person feels good i never heard people saying they are happy being alone but on the other side never heard nobody saying they're happy having somebody along them i don't like to be alone,but i am and there is something stoping me to change that don't know what but it is but if i go outside once a week to drink a soda with my sister or a friend it's fine by me

Hi again. Hmm.. that's a tricky question. My personal opinion is it's better to be alone then truly unhappy but in a relationship just to be able to say that you are not alone. People who are in those kinds of relationships sometimes never seem to realise that even though they're in a 'relationship' they are still actually alone. Hope you understood that? That's my opinion, I speak from personal experience, I was with someone for three years and those were the loneliest 3 years of my life.

My personal view is that it is better to have someone with us rather than being alone. I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. I know of two pwople who think they are happy being alone. No arguments and no worries. The argument is valid but there will be times when having a companion is better than being with friends, however close they may be. Friends cannot give the same attention, care, support, motivation, and happiness the way a companion can. When we are sick in the middle of the night there are not any friends willing to stay awake taking care of our needs. True, the hospital is there. But a visit from a friend is not the same as a visit from that someone special. I have gone through a phase where I needed a companion. I had friends but they could not understand what I was going through. So try to have someone to be there with you. all the best, rosdimy

I think it's better to have a partner without becoming a dependent. A partner can provide companionship, laughter and share loneliness together, after all, i am just a normal human being not a saint. lol!! Happy Mylotting.

i want to have a partner... and independent at the same time.. uhmm.. it is possible right?/ having a partner doesn't mean that you have to be dependent to him all the time.. it will suffocate the relationship! you have to prove to your partner that you can leave without him but still incomplete! man loves Ms. Independent!

I was alone for along time and grew to be very independent. I recently got married and gained an instant family. New husband, 3 kids, a cat and a dog. Gone are the days of peace. I enjoy my new family very much but at times I really miss having my own space and as we like to say me time. When I feel the need to be alone I just tell my husband I am off to go for a walk etc and he is cool with that.

Hi! I am a loner so it's easy to say that I prefer to live alone. I never had any boyfriend live with me before. I am very conservative and I guess partly because I am a loner. I like it when friends come and visit, then at the end of the day I would have my quiet time. I think this is the very reason why I am still single at 41. I think marriage will tilt the balance in my life. As people say, why take a knife when it would kill you (or something to that effect). Well, just my opinion. I am pretty sure a lot of people like to live with other people. It's just me and my personal preference. Happy myLotting!
