People who say they love being single, are people who are just afraid to commit because they are scared. Love is always a beautiful thing. there is however nothing like a perfect marriage or relationship. What works for Adam might not work for Peter. I However learnt that in everything there is always a solution, 5 years ago my wife and I were on the brink of a divorce because we were having some difficulties in our marriage but we are back together ,it was a really bad phase but we got through it..

Freedom here isn’t about being lazy or selfish; it's about the opportunity to explore personal growth, passions, and self-reliance without the compromises that sometimes come with relationships. It's really about embracing independence as a space for constructive and meaningful experiences. What do you think drives this common misconception?

@shawnsalmon5653 3 ай бұрын
@StoicKing101 I agree with you, solitude is not loneliness. When you're in a relationship or marriage, you can lose yourself, you say things or phrases they would say, or you think the way they would think about people, places and things. Solitude helped me to get in touch with myself again, my thoughts, my attitudes, my likes and dislikes, apart from the ones she had, and honestly reexamine myself, being truthful with myself, examine the mistakes I've made, and to learn and grow from them. Some of this was painful and took some time for the pain to subside so that I could objectively look back. In my solitude, I thought about love and connection and came up with that people feel empty the next day after having a casual hook up because that's only half of the equation. It takes care of the physical needs, but doesn't fulfill the emotional need that one can only receive from a warm and caring relationship, i.e love. I don't know if you would agree with this or not ? To answer your question, I stay busy, working, and focusing on self growth and learning, and I highly value wisdom and intelligence, but humbly so. I really enjoy listening to you're wisdom and your practical application of it in real life scenarios. Many of the things you talk about are experiences that I had lived through and learned the hard, painful way. I wish I had you when I was younger, but then, when I was younger, there was no internet! I'm honored that you reached out to me. One more thing; I really enjoy how you include your personal situations, and how you overcame them. Keep up the good work, because I know this will help people who listen!

I change my life 10 years ago and am now 43 to choose to live my life alone in sollitude.....i have more strength, peace, power, happyness, freedom and time.....i am not feeling superior or better then others but more be carefully and awake. The more people around you, the more expectations, talk about others, lying, frustrations, negativity, jealousy, double standards, violent, own benefits, hate, comparing, judge etc..... reflection of their broken souls. People are programmed robot slaves of the system thinking happyness starts with extern factors like status, money, material things that means nothing and its relativ and an illusion create by society. If your happyness depend on extern factors you will never be because extern factors are endless. Happyness starts inside you. Be the light in your life

I was single for 11 years and have now been in a relationship for 1 year and counting. Both have pros and cons and both have the ability to progress personal development. Some lessons can only be learned in solitude, my experience with people who have been single for extended periods is that they have an unmatched inner strength and independence that is difficult to achieve when in relationships. However, sometimes you need someone else to challenge you. It's easy to remain at peace in solitude. To truly live by stoic principles one needs to be flexible and consistent regardless of what life throws at you. Relationships are amazing, being single also, but neither can or will make you happy, you must be content within yourself to appreciate life whether lived alone or with a life partner.

Great video, I approve this message as being a single bachelor all my life , now approaching year 70. I’ve experienced all subtle comments behind my back for being single. I have reasons and experiences that validate my life’s choice but to numerous to go over here. But I live a total free life to do what I want. And I’m not tied down to the committee of compromises. It doesn’t matter if you’re single or married, life is what you make it. My life isn’t easy either. I’ve got to have a lot of self discipline and time management and to say no. Because if I don’t do it, it doesn’t get done. I have peace and quiet, less stress. Being married brings a hole host of responsibilities in of itself. So there you go, my thoughts on this.

@KingStoic101 My journey of self-love has taught me that people will treat you the way you see yourself. When you have self-love, it empowers your relationship. You are better able to communicate your needs and wants. Without self-love, you have insecurities in a relationship. It just puts unwanted pressure on your partner. When a person lacks self-love, the relationship is weak with too much distrust. You can't depend on other people to make you feel loved it has to start with you loving yourself.Going into a relationship without self love is like feeling empty and placing to many demands on the other person to fulfill you. Also, if you have a depleted sense of self, people take advantage of you. With self-love, it's helped me accept my flaws and love myself unconditionally.

And no one should claim it’s better for others. I’ve had both. Both have positives and negatives. Personally since I’ve recently been single, my income has gone up, my focus on work and health is off the chart, I’ve met more people, and I’m planning a second place to possibly live in Italy. I’m not struggling. And I’m making a positive impact on people’s lives. Is it better? Better than what? It’s just good for me. If I happen to meet a woman who is right for me then I’d consider that too.

Absolutely, the journey of self-growth while being single can be incredibly enriching! It allows for personal reflection and development that's sometimes harder to focus on in a partnership. Speaking of which, what do you think: is it better to be single? What has your experience taught you about personal growth during this time?

I've been married (5yrs)once, but single the rest. Many people have no ambitions and simply got married so as not to be alone; so, this is main stream to me. I lived a single life in Manhattan for 32 years. For a woman; many are not enjoying enough financial success however, THAT is not a good to marry. Many people are not independant but the rest of us have enjoyed being single...finding good company is a challenge. Sex is always there but why compartmentalize relationships? It is complicated. Money IS a huge factor.

Thank you for sharing your perspective! It's true that societal norms often push people towards marriage, sometimes overshadowing personal ambitions and independence. Your experience in Manhattan highlights an important aspect of Stoicism - finding contentment and fulfillment within oneself, rather than seeking it solely through relationships or financial success. It's admirable how you've embraced the single life, recognizing that companionship and financial stability, while important, should not be the sole reasons for entering into a marriage. Your journey resonates with the Stoic principle of focusing on what's within our control - our own choices and attitudes towards life's complexities. Let's continue to explore and appreciate the diverse paths life offers us, single or otherwise. 🌿

Very important topic. Unless you have the following attributes in your life, you will not be a happy single male: 1. Good friends who are available, who you can speak honestly with but still give you their full support and who really like you. 2. Good sex. 3. A solid career which is financially lucrative and growing. 4. A hobby outside of work. 5. Adoreable nephews or nieces where you can exhaust your natural fatherly instincts on. 6. Parents that you can care for. 7. A dog

I would recommend not settling and sticking it out-wait for someone special that will add to your existence rather than leech from it. You need suppourt and loyalty to return the same. No one is being raised with any moral compass or values. It is a disgrace.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's important to have standards and know what you're looking for in a partner. However, it might be beneficial to consider that everyone has their unique journey and qualities. While it's crucial not to settle for less than what you deserve, maintaining an open mind could lead to unexpected, positive connections. Remember, respect and understanding are key in any relationship. Wishing you the best in your search for a compatible partner.
