Is life better in a relationship?

Is it?

Not necessarily no.

When you think you’ve met “the one” it’s just your brain tricking you cause you’ve been deprived of it ig. You’re in a constant high, you think you’ve hit the jackpot. First few months it’s great, then afterwards it’s the real test of being in a relationship which is difficult and not many people stay around for it. Some people can be an ******* and others are great to be around.

I’d say learn to live with yourself and in your own company. If you can’t live with yourself then how do you expect someone to live with you?

It really depends on the relationship and the people involved. Some find life much better with a partner, sharing experiences and having support.

There are pros and cons. Being in a loving and supportive long-term relationship is amazing if you find the right person. But many things in your life will become a joint decision and require compromise.

If your not happy out if a relationship, you won't be happy in one.

Yes but when you found a great match, to lose it is tough and you miss them.

Yes, it's like having a best friend that you can cuddle with at night and slow dance in the kitchen with and it not be weird. I find friendships to be quite lonely as you're no one's #1, so finding someone that I love and that likes spending time with me is great alongside having casual friends. It does require dedication and compromise, but it should be easier than it sounds if they do the same for you.

Really depends on the type of person you are, though. Some people are made to thrive with a few close friends or a large group, or living life solo with a few casual friends instead of serious relationships.
