Is it True Your 40s are Lonely if You are Unmarried?

There’s a big difference between being lonely and being alone.

Being alone is a superpower very few get the chance to experience. Parents and society have conditioned us not to be alone because it will make us lonely.

When In reality, it’s the exact opposite. So many say they want alone time, but if it were given to them, they wouldn’t know what to do. Many would probably self-destruct.

It’s all about mindset and your relationship with yourself, not others. Some of my most lonely, anxiety-ridden times were in relationships.

When you meet someone that doesn’t fear being alone, they are a person not to be fucked with. They will put up with far less bullshit in relationships, so you best treat them with respect and loyalty.

Many chase marriage or relationships because they don’t want to fall into the societal manipulation of growing old alone.

I’d grow old alone rather than settle with someone who doesn’t respect or love me.

I’ve finally realized I can give myself everything a relationship can give me.

If I want to go out to dinner and a movie, I take myself out.

If I want to explore or visit a new city, I go.
