Reads like: - I got burned by fire. - Now I do not use fire at my house, I don't need it. - But now, you also cannot cook or warm yourself.

I think you may be missing on some important things be staying alone. Humans are social beings, social capital is also a thing. Being alone is good when you are young and healthy, when you get older and have a health issue (hopefully not) it may be a devastating experience when no one visits you in the hospital.

I am a single now, but I don't want it to stay this way forever. It would be kind of sad for me to spend my older days alone. Also I want to have a child, after all it may be my best contribution to the world (my code would probably be all gone in next 15 years).

I can recommend you this book as a starting point: https://www.amazon.com/What-Happened-You-Understanding-Resil... It helped me understand some of my issues.



Sounds to me like you're projecting your own feelings on others.

I'm quite happy living on my own.

Not having to put up with other people's drama is a giant asset.

Maybe you just need an influencer to tell you how to live your own life?

To me, this is a really sad aspect of living in one's own head, instead of appreciating our brief moment of not being a mineral...
