Is it Wrong to assume...?

That you will just live, grow old, and then die alone. I am not the kind of guy that trusts people very easily, and it is typically too difficult for women to work through that, so they don't even bother. I am not sad about being single, because it feels safer, but is it bad to just make that general assumption?

    Yeah. It's not the best mentality. I was the same way and thought i should just except it. Eventually though i just said f*ck it and started talking to women and just not caring and eventually i found a girl i really liked and all that "I'll just die alone." crap disappeared. I really wanted to be with this chick.

    Don't give up. Safer is boring.

    you never know what life will toss your way. all of us have wants and needs, some healthy, some unhealthy. but it's still what we want. id like to be married- and live in separate homes, or at least separate bedrooms. I know some of it is because im an introvert, but some of it is because i don't want to be fully known. rooted in knowing myself/healthy and fear of intimacy/unhealthy. not bad to make the assumption but a lot of things that I've read suggest it will become a self fulfilling prophecy. you will keep attracting women/people who prove untrustworthy and never become trusting and end up alone. unless you work to change your perception.

    To be honest I think about it all the time & I'm only 16, just waiting for the right guy.
