1. You don't. You hunt endlessly for a partner.

2. You have tons of friends and family to hang with.

3. You enjoy being alone and spend your days by yourself in your own hobbies and never cry.

4. Your life is just work and making money.

5. You volunteer your time to help others and society and gain joy from this.

Which are you and give me your other scenarios.

3 and 4. I'm seeing a lot of toxic relationships around me whether its from close friends and family or some random people on the internet and they are hella discouraging to be in a committed relationship.

If you need to cope with being alone, then you aren't happy. Find happiness in yourself and than you can make others happy. Find a hobby, go about your life with no anticipation on meeting someone.

Drugs and trying to not think about it, which is almost impossible. I have friends, but I want something more. I like being alone, but not being alone if that makes sense.

Then it is all the more weird to enter a thread like this and begin a meltdown.
If you feel alone in your relationship you should discuss with your partner.

Being alone is not something to kope with. It's a preference. A preference mainly broken for kouch ko-op video games and sexual healing.

1. You don't. You hunt endlessly for a partner.

This is the only one that's close for me.

I loathe being single. My utter inability to find someone, despite the length to time I've been looking, is the largest and most powerful source of my self-loathing and confidence issues. Even when considering everything else I've fucked up in the past and currently is fucked up with my situation, this is the thing that makes me see myself as an abject failure.

That being said, I've largely given up looking. I just can't deal with putting out effort and having nothing to show for it anymore. Nowadays I still maintain a profile on every major dating site, but beyond the occasional sent message, I've really stopped trying, for the most part.

You have to figure out if you're unhappy because you're single or if you're unhappy for some other reason. Mostly, it's the latter. You'll discover that another person can't make you be happy or you'll cling onto her hard and end up pushing her away.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Apologize if this brought up memories of some person you wanted to forget.

3 & 4. I'm at that age in life where I don't have time for mind games in terms of dating someone. I enjoy being alone. I do what I want, when I want, and however I want. No one tells me that I can't eat that, or spend that much money on "X" item.

Total freedom baby!

I feel like some people who are married/in a serious relationship wish that they can have this type of freedom, but they can't. They need to be with another person, or they can't cope with life...but deep down wish that they could. Some of them attack/insult those who are alone out of spite, since they want to be them.

You misunderstand me, I'm not hurt or anything. I've just done a lot of growing and reflecting on my life and have come to understand that happiness is internal and not external. I'm in charge of it, and nobody else is responsible for me.

Guess I don't cope with it. There's tons I want out of life, and everything involved with dating is what I've never experienced.

I'd just like to feel like I'm good enough for someone.

Okay. I don't care to be tied down to one person for romantic purposes. I care to have good people in my life whose company I enjoy.

Theres nothing to cope tbh.

I enjoy being alone and Ive got friends, and family, and even work to spend time with people.

But I also pretty much learned in high school that I wasnt meant to be with someone romantically (not necessarily by choice, but this is the hand Ive been dealt) so at 33 Im just used to it.
