Reply To: “How Can I Stop Desiring a Partner and Be Happy Alone?”

Copa and Wendy are right on target. I was listening to a science podcast (ologies for those interested) and the topic was the science of joy. And the researcher found that when people recalled feeling joy, one of the common denominators was they were with people. This was not exclusive to romantic partners, this was family and friends too.
What have you always wanted to try? What groups meet up in your area? Kickball, knitting, gardening, woodworking, car maintenance, cards, D&D – try things. It will be scary as fuck. But most groups are there to share their love of a hobby and make friends.
