Have you ever noticed that people who say you can be happy alone are really trying hard to prove it? They don't even believe their own nonsense and need to justify it. They only say being alone is good when they're in a bad relationship, but then they quickly find someone else when they break up. The only other people who claim being alone is great are those who can't find a partner and have to cope that way, which is pretty pathetic.
Sure, you can distract yourself with hobbies as a single person, but life is really boring and unsatisfying without a partner. You eventually want to share everything with someone special. Some people say life shouldn't depend on having a partner, but then they make a list of 100 things to do to cope with being single.
It's tiring to come home and just eat your lunch alone. What's the point of cooking for yourself if you're the only one eating it?
You can have plenty of friends, but they eventually get married or move away or get busy with their own lives. Hanging out with others is limited to when everyone is available, and they'll always choose their family and partners over you.
For women, being single is less boring, but for men, it's really boring without a partner. The only advantage men have is that they work more hours and have more hobbies. Maybe men have more hobbies just to cope with being single.
Some people choose to be single, but only for a short time, like a vacation. Or they might be asexual or socially anxious. But if you're healthy and heterosexual, you probably don't want to be alone forever. Women don't have this problem if they're not too picky, but men are like a luxury product to them, and they get all their other needs met by simp orbiters.
Most of us won't make a significant change in the world anyway, so we're not anyone's special someone. No wonder single people become workaholics or need to take psychiatric drugs.
TLDR : People who claim that being happy alone is great are usually trying to convince themselves because they don't actually believe it. Life without a partner can be boring and unsatisfying, and even though you can distract yourself with hobbies, eventually you want to share everything with someone special. Men often cope with being single by working more hours or having more hobbies. Single people may become workaholics or need psychiatric drugs because they feel unfulfilled without a partner.
