we are not designed to live alone...

Yes, human being is social animal, we are created by our creator to have empathy feelings; various sort of similar emotional and physical traits, we all depend on each other shoulder to lean on in order to live a purposeful and meaningful life on earth. The happiest person on this planet is not someone who live in seclusive location alone, but someone who is part of a community of people that live in harmony and trusted each other.

True. Many times we feel we need time for ourselves and we want to be alone, but no matter what, after some time we start feeling the need of someone being with us. It is a need. Being connected, being surrounded by, being loved by fellow human beings is a basic quality of us. But what about one relationship ruining our relationship with another person? How to decide on the priorities?

Believe me I actually choose to want to be alone, I need my own space, my privacy and my independence and further more I want freedom to come and go when I want, not to be dictated or having to tell someone when I want to do something. I hate not living alone, I find life so much easier when I am alone and untroubled by others.

maurya83 I agree we are better people when we have relationships. I think others around us energize us and as you said, perhaps we were designed to need othes. I also think it is important to enjoy our own company so that we don't have to have others around all the time..just a lot of the time

I respect your opinion but it seems like you are speaking factually...However I think its an absurb statement either way. Who on this earth have deteminined such nonsense...There are so so many people who are alone because they choose to be..I think there are people who are in a relationship and still leave apart.. Your statement might sound good to you and you might even believe what you stated but I don't think you will find and proof of your statement...and if you can prove it them please do so... I am dying to read it in black and white...

We are social creatures. Social depriviation can lead to some significant mental problems.In psychology there is a term called schizoid personality. People who have schizoid personality suffer from lack of social interest and they love to be alone so I guess there is exeption in every rule.

I agree with your words but only if we lived in a perfect world. This is the thinking of an idealist. Most people have trouble nurturing and taking care of themselves, let alone dealing with a relationship and the needs and expectations of a partner.

I was married for 35 years, and when my husband and I got our divorce, we both ended up alone. It was hard for me at first, but after 6 years, I have got used to it, and I don't mind being alone. I have my own privacy, and I don't have someone telling me what I can can't do. In a way, I wish I wree still married, but in another sense, he did me a favor asking me for a divorce. I accept it, and I live my life accordingly. Take care, and have a great day.

You've got a point. However, some are more comfortable being with their solitude. Some would find peace with themselves alone. And it is not really hating to be in a relationship, but I guess it is how they make themselves satisfied with what they are and what they have.

I think that we all need to have someone to talk and share the things with us, if we don't have anyone close to us, it would be so sad, I can't imagine living live alone. thanks for the discussion.

i could agree with this,but we can not say that we live with somebody because it will depend upon the situation in life we have,but i agree with you that good relationship is like a delicate plants.

Hi ! True , we are designed not to live alone ! We are a social being , therefore we should associate ourselves with others.Like what they said , no man is an island , we need each other. Therefore we should involved our selves in the community. We cant exist alone in this world , we need others so we will be a fulfilled creature. We are morally obligated to our fellowman , may they be our relatives , family or neighbor or a stranger. Whatever happens to our fellowmen , we are always answerable for them , inner voice will really ask you , " what have you done ? "

Of course we aren´t designef to live alone :o we need other to continue our specie. But unfortunately there are some people who live alone and others who have difficulties to socialize well ? We all need some sorta of love and caring for anything because it´s the way we feel better somehow :) even if you are designed to not live alone I guess it doens´t mean we wont live alone in life ... saddly. I wonder what could people do to be sure to have a great life without loneliness ?

your right we dont want to live alone and I know that i dont like to have the other side of my bed to be empty
