This is another reason I don't bother with relationships - people go to so many pieces to find someone to be with, and then when they do they worry even more about whether someone cares about them or not. Too awkward 3:
I used to have this mentality too. I was, and still am, very socially retarded and introverted. I decided relationships weren't worth the pain and effort, so I convinced myself that I'd be satisfied with being alone and fapping to hentai for the rest of my life.
I ruminated over these thoughts, and one day wrote them out. And then I realised. Being alone for the rest of your life completely, utterly,
totally, extremely SUCKS. You would go insane, and begin craving human contact and doing desperate things to satisfy that angst that burns inside you.
Loneliness, totally not worth it man. I like being alone most of the time too, but ultimately I decided I'd at least have one soulmate, my (future) girlfriend, to stop me from going crazy.
