On one side I enjoy solitude, walking alone, drawing, fishing and cooking. Most people bore me because I find them dull and superficial. I specially hate the talkative, needy ones who wont shut up and believe I care what they think. I dislike big groups of drunks or people that need to yell and listen to loud music to feel good.

On the other hand, I’ll die one day, possibly alone, because I don’t have the emotional bandwidth for a girlfriend, marriage or raising children, nor to go to a club or a similar social occasion where people find other humans and maybe a partner.

Suddenly, dying alone with no children feels depressing: Everything I save and don’t spend will be appropriated or sold, everything I learn, a whole life of experiences, will simply be forgotten, I know I won’t feel anything when I die, or after, and I shouldn’t care about it, but I still feel sad I’m going to die without nobody but the debt collectors noticing my death. Suggesting I marry out of desperation so I don’t die alone would be a terrible idea. So don’t. I’m too set on my ways and wouldn’t be fair to any child.

I like some human contact but feel the world offers me either loud, drunk jerks, immature idiots or the complete solitude I have now, a solitude I mostly enjoy but sometimes makes me feel alone.

    You sound pretty immature… ‘I’m too set in my ways.’ This is a bullshit excuse and you’re using it to lazily maintain your mental health, which-reading this isn’t very healthy.

    Any relationship you get into now is doomed because you’re lacking empathy…and empathy is something your partner helps teach you, if given the chance.

    If there’s anything my partner taught me its empathy, kindness and letting others enjoy what they like is absolutely fine- I’m free to dislike some things that other enjoy but choose not to participate.

    There is absolutely someone out there for everyone.

    This is an armchair psychology hot take, I know, and you’ll probably dismiss this, but hey…you asked.
