People don't have to give extremely detailed answers (or any answers) about their experience if they don't want to.

I'm just curious about people's thoughts about being single, how they view it, along with if being in a relationship lived up to their expectations compared to being single.

I'm a believer in human connections and sharing experiences. Curiosity drives my need for answers and different points of view.

My orientation also makes it difficult to parse answers based my own point of view, so I posted to get answers from folks who more than likely have had a much different experience.

Being single sucks. And internet dating is the only viable option, and the experience is a dumpster fire. It's miserable, and I want to give up constantly, until the crippling lonliness rears its ugly head for the umpteenth time.

Do you have close friends that you're able to spend time with?
