"You don't need anyone to be happy." True or false?

[Atla]

Your OP is rather ambiguous. By "You don't need anyone to be happy with your life."...are we to assume you are questioning as to whether one does not need a live in relationship partner to be happy?

My answer to that, per my own and many MALE friends circumstance is that no, we do not require a sexual relationship live-in partner to be happy.

Also, your insistence that women tend to be able to live on their own happily where men can't is nonsense. I've seen possibly more examples of happy single men, than women. One of my female friends always needs to hook-up with someone, never seems to work out for her. In saying that, she's happy when single also.

In fact, when I think back to women I've known through time they all seem to have required a partner, whereas the fellas are quite happy to live alone. From my observation, women run the risk unfortunately of actual loneliness - that is, loss of close female friends, likely due to my previous statement or possibly other reasons.

So getting back to the original question of TRUE or FALSE per: ""Darling, always remember. Your happiness doesn't come from other people. Your happiness comes from you. It is your choice to be happy. You don't need anyone to be happy with your life."

I think so long as one that lives on their own has good friends that they can catch up with regularly, I'd go with TRUE - one (equally whether male or female) does not need a sexual live-in relationship partner to be happy.

However, if your ambiguous OP statement includes consideration of having NOBODY - no friends either, then i'd go with FALSE. Loneliness is the killer.

So maybe people in general, both sexes, don't require true companionship with their sexual live-in relationship partner? That could very well be the case, it's just unimaginable to me. How can people be content with so little?

What a sheltered little life you must have led. Do you really think that's all there is when it comes to human contact?

Who said anything about "all there is"? How stupid are you?

Then explain how.

You would need to define 'true companionship', plus your comment didn't have much to do with what you were quoting.

You already understood in your two previous comments what I meant by it.

It's clear enough.

Hm maybe it has to do with the ego after all, but not quite how I originally imagined, maybe it has to do with the abstract vs non-abstract ego not the male vs female ego.. hm hm.. that would be good news..

[Fairy]

The good news is that it was all just a fictional story. A dream no one dreamt.

There’s a Disney prince and princess in all of us. Dare to dream.

Looney tunes tuning out, that’s all folks.

Always be yourself, the real fiction character.

[Atla]

A lot more men than women have the abstract ego, so that could explain why.. hm interesting! Ok I think I got it.

Hear that you NPCs? I think there is hope after all! This is a great day!

"Darling, always remember. Your happiness doesn't come from other people. Your happiness comes from you. It is your choice to be happy. You don't need anyone to be happy with your life."

True or false?

But let's remove any other factor here. No co-dependency issues, no abandonment issues, no financial issues, no major personality flaws, no immaturity, no unresolved traumas, none of that. Let's just look at a really well-developed, mature person without any major issues, without any major problems.

(My opinion: definitely false.)

Edit: Of course a major part of what is required for "happiness" comes from within. And technically, we don't need anyone else to get through life.

But is that enough? Or do we need someone else to share the journey with, otherwise what's the point?

Oui, well done...certainly not to be happy. There are far too many miserable married people

That could very well be the case, it's just unimaginable to me. How can people be content with so little?

Sounds like you are truly in love with a decent partner that makes you very happy. That's great, I do envy anyone with such a situation tho I can't say I know of any in the real world!

I can count on one finger the amount of woman I have known I possibly could feel that way with (* for the rest of eternity). As it is, a couple of married friends of mine appear to be envious of the freedoms I have. My study is a lads paradise re tech, I get to have a beer, watch sport, fart, take the dog for a walk, hook up with a lady or total slut, get shit faced drunk etc..without any woman to nag nag nag me.

I was sat in the mall yesterday drinking a boost juice and crowd inspecting. My GOD humans come in all shapes/sizes/weirdness - moreso these days I think, I had to look away but occasionally these couple holding hands walking together giggling with long weird hair, possibly two dudes I really wanted to inspect them more but they looked so paranoid with each other, I felt sorry for them - GOD made these ?? so ugly for some reason so they appear just to roll with it, and wear crazy weird shit all over their hideous bodies and faces..

Well I'm depressed.
Dangers of social media.
Las thing I saw before sleep was a vid of a Palestinian girl amidst the rubble speaking English that any child her age would be proud of. "How can I clean this up... I am only ten.. I wanted to be a doctor.. to help.. now there is no school.
On waking I saw a young boy weating a Renaldo football shirt crying for his lost home... Looking for his brother, running from the bombs.. "He was injured.. his brains were out..
What kind of life is this.
None of this was CGI. None of it was AI. These were not actors.

I went for a long walk but could not get them out of my head, and it would seem such an insult to their experience to try.

On driving back I saw from the car a dog being walked by his owner. I knew the dog; Wulf. Quite old now I thought. WHat a brave dog to have had cancer twice, and lost a back leg because of it.
There he was hopping along beside his mum. His spirit immediately made me cry.

Later that evening I learned that I had seen him on his last walk. He was off to the vet for euthanasia.
He was much loved by his owners and was present at theit proposal, carried the ring up the aisle for them, was presnt for their first child and was a constant companion to their family.

Such a sad day.

Hamas’ use of human shields in Gaza

oh fuck off you stupid ****.

I couldn't have put it better myself. Only three escalating profanities came to mind. I used them all.

I try NEVER to watch such broadcasts. Unless you have someone to debrief with. And even then. Never is fine. Rarely I let myself, when alone, and utterly let myself go with it, howl and weep. It's bad enough on the radio. Worse even. Clinical descriptions. And the sound of agony. I try never to hear Trump speak either. Mute is good.

I suppose Ostrich could be a spirit guide, if you believed in such things.

Would you use your children as human shields?

(Did Sculptor get banned or did he finally finish that mental breakdown?)

And who would shoot children being used as human shields? What kind of people? You? I know we're all capable of anything, but, er, how do you get to be that desensitized? That fucking evil? To regard children as collateral vermin in their own streets?

[Martin Peter Clarke]

I need everyone to be happy, to be happy.
