I'm considerably happier when I am on my own and not thinking about it than I am when the possibility is presented. Introversion sounds worse than it is, but it works fine for some people.

That part reminded me of this scene.


I understand that feeling of being happier on my own though, I go through periods where I pull away from others so I can get that feeling back and it's wonderful.

Genuinely? I would never have guessed that. Any reason why you don't go out much? I'm a hermit these days as well but I'm broke .

There's only like 4 people on this planet who I'm comfortable hugging. I just don't like being touched by people that I'm not close to.

Bring it in, BD!

I don't think I have any form of relationshipophobia (It's a word now) but I also understand feeling more comfortable on your own.

I'd say I want the usual in life. Marriage, kids etc. Whether it's a good thing or a bad though, I just don't feel motivated to hurry the process up of actually seeking these things.

One day I may realise I have to speed it up a little and actually be more pro-active but really, being single doesn't cause me any problems. I'm not someone who needs company, sex, commitment and closeness. I'm happy on my own, I both love and feel I need my own space (and thats seriously the biggest hurdle for me when it comes to relationships) and not once have I even gone out with the sole intent of desperately searching for someone to hook up with. I really do not need sex enough to make a point of actively going out to get it.

How content I am to be single could very well potentially become an issue one day, I don't know, but I'm not currently unhappy.

Just be open about it hun, it's perfectly normal to not liking people touching you.

I told my boyfriend this when we started going out and he responded with "You've obviously never had a real hug, then!"
