Is it harmful to stay forever alone?

It's so hard for me to care for others. I just want to get rid of the people around me. Every time, I set my expectations high, believing they are good people, only to be let down. I want to know, why do we need to form relationships?

@Skyy0

Maybe you will find a person that clicks with you. It might not be the first or even the third but keep trying. I found a listener that I clicked with. He talked me through a crisis and didn't judge me for it.

@Skyy0 I think it can be harmful but I'd rather be alone than in a relationship that doesn't work for me.

I think it's harmful IF you think it is harmful for YOU. As for me, I feel the most comfortable when I am alone. That way I don't have to please anyone or be approved by anyone just to be part of a group.

I completely agree with you. It's difficult to "belong"

It is difficult but when you find those people who you for with, that person you fit with it's worth the struggle

Yes, I believe that. Thank you for your kind words. It's a work in progress.

It is not harmful to stay forever alone but after an age, you need a partner for care and share your feelings. There should be at least one relationship in life.
