Saw this tonite wondered what everyone thought?
Accepting who you are and learning to love being alone are essential to a happy life.
Think at my age now in my forties have accepted can't change who I am and I'm content with being alone but can't see myself ever loving it....
Any thoughts or opinions greatly appreciated.....
I don't agree at all, if you are already happy with who are you then is fine, but if you still have personal problems then you might consider to change something about you. This "accepting who you are" is the same lazy philosophy of "you are beatifull even if you weight 400 pounds", in my opinion. People just accept themselves because they don't want to change, or because they are lazy, unmotivated etc Or maybe i'm wrong, who knows.
I'm alone as fresia and i have accepted it and i have also accepted who i am, a person that nontheless all the effort have never had a sincere friend, but i aint content being alone. This is why i'm trying to change. Even writing here is an attempt to socialize, to make new friends. I often think that i will die completely alone, but is still worth trying to do something. I can't think of dying without having tryed something to break out of this situation.
Hope that i wasn't too harsh, my vocabulary is pretty limited
