Quick takeaways
Embracing being alone allows for a healthy relationship without codependency or entitlement.
Being alone is better than being in bad company; choose someone who genuinely enhances your life.
Deep dives
Your relationships grow stronger with less codependency and entitlement
Learning to be comfortable with being alone does not mean you can't be in a relationship. However, if you constantly need someone to fulfill your every need, you will become codependent and entitled. A healthy relationship should never limit or change you. Entitlement is based on the mistaken belief that certain roles entitle us to special treatment. However, healthy love doesn't come with limitations or expectations.
You learn that aloneness doesn't mean loneliness
Being alone does not equate to being lonely and vice versa. Loneliness can be felt even in the presence of others. It's better to be alone than to be in bad company. When you choose to be with someone, it should be because they genuinely enhance your life, not just to avoid being alone.
You find the intellectual space to support your own decisions
Not everyone will support your goals, and that's okay. Pursue what feels right to you, even if it goes against the opinions of others. Trust your intuition and embrace self-sufficiency. The right path for you may not align with societal expectations, but following your own path will lead to personal growth and fulfillment.
