View Full Version : Am I the only freak?

I keep hearing this phrase in various forms:
"I don't want to be alone. I need a companion."
Those words are invariably spoken by someone who has hooked up (or is in the process of hooking up) with someone they don't really know (or like) that much.
Am I the only weirdo who doesn't mind being "alone", and in fact prefers it to having to deal with someone who grates on my nerves because we're not compatible? Seriously, I only know one other person who is happy and busy being unattached. It seems that everyone else is trying to fit square pegs in round holes so they don't have to be "alone".
And I say "alone" in quotes because my life is active and I arrange down time to spend an evening on the couch in front of the TV with my dog. Don't other people do this, or must it be a constant whirlwind of human companionship? Am I just an anti-social freak with an overabundant lack of patience?
I asked the "I don't want to be alone" people and they assure me that, yes, I'm a freak :lol: and that most people want a companion, even if it's not the love of their life. It just seems to me that you'll never find the love of your life if you're involved with Mr. He'll Do, or even Mr. Meh Whatever. Not to mention that someone with whom you have very little in common isn't really a "companion" at all.

Hmmm....the only people I know who hop from bedmate to bedmate are dysfunctional in all aspects of their lives so I never gave their motives much thought. I take that back- my Grandma has been single since my Grandpa died 30 years ago and she lives a lifestyle quite like yours, minus the dog. She has a more active social life than I do and she's 88. :lol:

No, you are not a freak. My mother always said she liked her alone time with her best friend...herself. My daughter has some girlfriends that complain about their boyfriends constantly, and know deep down they are not the "ones", but they settle because they need to have a boyfriend at all times. They are wasting their time and need to be single and out there looking for the "one". I guess it's like women who stay in abusive relationships because even though it's horrible, they like the security and don't want to put themselves out there with the chance of being alone.

You're not a freak, because you're never alone.
You choose not to have a "companion" when in fact you have many.
Not in the sense that you're knocking boots with a lot of guys, but generally speaking you have a lot of friends, and you can get companionship at any time, or have enough planned gatherings to satisfy the human need for companionship.. You TRULY are not alone.
Some of these people you speak of may not have the social graces of us "everybody loves us" crowd (We ONLY drink Dos Equis!!) and may REALLY be alone. I can understand somebody in that situation truly wanting human companionship, and settling for somebody just to have someone there when they get home.
Maybe we should teach these friends how to bowl overhand, and how to speak French in five languages so they too can bask in the glory of "EVERYBODY loves ME!!"

Nah, you're not a freak. (Well, maybe you are, but I know nothing about what you do between the sheets) :whistle:
:lol:
But seriously, you are NOT a freak. At this point in your life, you've found what works for you. What keeps you happy. Whether or not it involves a human companion doesn't matter. If at some point you feel a need to find someone than you can but please don't feel like you have to fit into some "societal norm".
BTW, if you are a freak between the sheets my # is .....

See, that's the thing - the "I don't want to be alone" types that I'm referring to have tons of friends and active social lives. They just want someone there all the time - can't go out to dinner or to a party without a date. One of my guy buds frankly told me that the only thing he really likes about his live-in girlfriend is that she's always there. He doesn't have to coordinate plans with her, or schedule time to see her. Whenever he wants to do something, he doesn't have to worry about finding someone available to go with him - other than that, she annoys the piss out of him. :lol:
Nope. You're not the only one. :biggrin:

I have friends that are constantly trying to hook me up, which usually fail miserably. They ask, "Aren't you lonely?" My response is always, "I am alone, but I am not lonely."
Like was said, I prefer my own company. If that someone special just happens into my life, fine, but I'm content as I am.

I dont think you're a freak at all. I actually have a good set up I think. I work days Mon. thru Fri. Hubby works nites Mon. thru Fri. We rarely see each other during the week. Saturday and Sundays we spend together but not every Saturday or Sunday. I go to my daughters to see the grandkids or he goes to a sporting event. We get along fine, been together 19 years now, the last 4 months as husband and wife. I have few friends, only because the ones that I do have turn out to be such a PIA, I dont really associate with them much anymore. I know that sounds terrible, but honestly, I'm very happy.:yahoo: The one thing I do miss is my dog. Got to look into getting another one as soon as my granddog and daughter move.

Yep. I have a dog and cat and son here though, so am not totally alone. The cat is now very nice by the way. Not the mean sucker he used to be.

I can't see me ever having another companion. No one could put up with me. :lol: Plus no one would ever measure up. I like having friends I can see once in a while and thats about it. It does kind of suck not having someone to reminise with though.

I am married, but DO love my Alone-Time. My kids are grown, and have been out of the house for years. My Husband leaves for our place in Florida in the Winter, and stays about 1 to 2 months at a time. I am OK with that. It is nice streaking through the house, and enjoying doing things MY way. When I want, and what I want!! I do enjoy the companionship with others, but I really like being alone here & there too. If that is considered weird, well then...I'm weird. I deal with people all day long.........

I don't think it's weird at all. I'm happily married now but before I met hubby I was happily single after a crappy relationship. Honestly, I didn't miss the "companionship" because I was miserable for 6 long years. After I ended things I felt happier than ever and was in no rush to get involved with anyone else. I think it's important to have alone time as well as time with friends, whether you're in a relationship or not. To settle just so you're not single is crazy imo.

More women today (not all) are co-dependent so it is emotionally painful for them to be w/o a guy. They haven't had good role models for relationships from their parents. Rarely does a woman come to a bar or restaurant alone, although a few do. Lately I've met more women who have boyfriends, baby daddys, live ins, etc., with whom they are not happy but who they will not leave.
On the other side, guys have a tendancy to want to be with a woman AND still act single. Sadly, many of them just want a mommy...
Personally I'm in the middle right now. Most of the time I love my "singleness" but sometimes I miss being with a lady. I find it harder to really connect with strangers and become real friends today than I used to. Does anyone else?

I know people like that too. From one relationship to another because they have to be with "someone". Not that I'm not open to the opportunity if it happens but I enjoy being by myself now. I was "lonely" in an unhappy marriage for years. I have good friends, good family and I'm comfortable with where I am now. I'm so used to doing what I want and when I want without answering to someone, I don't think I could even live with someone again (unless they swept me off my feet lol).

I keep hearing this phrase in various forms:
"I don't want to be alone. I need a companion."
Those words are invariably spoken by someone who has hooked up (or is in the process of hooking up) with someone they don't really know (or like) that much.
Am I the only weirdo who doesn't mind being "alone", and in fact prefers it to having to deal with someone who grates on my nerves because we're not compatible?
No but there's still context. You've been married and raised a family. You've "been there, done that". Since I've known you the past 15 or so years, you always seem to have lots of friends who can make time to spend with you if need be. I have relatives who are "comfortable being alone". Not a single one isn't a parent or has never been married. They're not really ever alone.
When I was single and living on my own, I had only a few friends, and invariably when they found someone to be with or got married, my contact with them diminished. I had never been married before. I did live alone, for 12 years. So I was a little lonely - that's what led me to create that little movie-going group on here, many years ago.
Now, when I have plenty of time free and the kids are in school and the wife is working, I very much enjoy time to myself - but it's time I can choose to be alone. When I was living alone, a lot of my choices were already made for me unless I found someone to share it with.
I don't know who says this sort of thing to you. I know for me, in those many years by myself, my life was punctuated by occasional social interaction but almost all of it spent all by myself. Not to be a sad sack, but try staying home with very little human interaction and see how long you last.

Am I the only weirdo who doesn't mind being "alone", and in fact prefers it to having to deal with someone who grates on my nerves because we're not compatible? Seriously, I only know one other person who is happy and busy being unattached. It seems that everyone else is trying to fit square pegs in round holes so they don't have to be "alone".
And I say "alone" in quotes because my life is active and I arrange down time to spend an evening on the couch in front of the TV with my dog. Don't other people do this, or must it be a constant whirlwind of human companionship? Am I just an anti-social freak with an overabundant lack of patience?
I asked the "I don't want to be alone" people and they assure me that, yes, I'm a freak :lol: and that most people want a companion, even if it's not the love of their life. It just seems to me that you'll never find the love of your life if you're involved with Mr. He'll Do, or even Mr. Meh Whatever. Not to mention that someone with whom you have very little in common isn't really a "companion" at all.
:confused:
Of course I don't think you're a freak. :bann:
Divorced since 2005 - I have never been alone, since I have my kids.
"Relationship-wise", it's been a relatively drama free 7 years and I have not regretted that at all. For me, I think I am happy with the way it's been because I am comfortable with who I am and I'm a relatively happy, positive person. I have worked for everything I have, and it wasn't given or provided to me by someone else. So I don't "need" someone to make me happy or provide for me. I can do it all myself. I also like my alone time to do whatever I want to do.
However, I also have plenty of friends and love to do things with them when I want to or have opportunity to. And now that the Things are older, they really don't care when I've gone out with friends, etc. In fact they like it! :jet:

Yuck. If you like someone enough that they're your friend, and you're attracted enough to have sex with them, that's normally called a "relationship" or at least "dating".

Or, in some parts of the country and most of New Jersey, that's called a happy family.

If they're your friend they are typically your companion in some form. Unless by "friend" you mean "acquaintance" or someone you picked up at a bar and think their name is something that starts with a B or maybe a D.

See... I believe thinking you could stay FWB just isn't possible... one or the other is going to get territorial...:coffee:
DEAR ABBY: I have been seeing "Larry" for six months, and from day one we both agreed that we do not want to be in a relationship. I'm 29 and he's 34. But over time we have developed feelings for each other. Larry is recently divorced after 10 years of marriage. He tells me he doesn't want to lose me, but it's hard for him to commit for fear of being hurt.
Larry talks to other women and goes out, while I have basically committed myself to him. He gets upset if I talk to another man. He says I'm his best friend and he's afraid a relationship would change that.
I don't know what to do anymore. Neither one of us would be OK if the other started dating, but I'm sick of waiting for him to make up his mind. Should I move on? -- IN LIMBO IN COLUMBUS, IND.
DEAR IN LIMBO: Yes, you should. But not before telling Larry exactly why, because the arrangement you have right now is unfair to you. If you don't, you and Larry could wind up being "best friends" forever and nothing more.

Dear Limbo,
Damn, girl, give the guy a chance. He's fresh out of a 10 year marriage and you're sick of waiting after 6 months?? So the answer is yes, you should move on. And he should run screaming from you.
