People have done it all throughout history. It really depends on why you are doing it I think. If you are truly more content alone, then go for it. Some people are actually built like that. If you are choosing to be alone out of fear that comes with relationships, you are just hiding. I don’t think you can live a satisfied life if the narrative is controlled by fear
Sound response.
A self centered life will eventually crumble into despair. The most direct way to live an other centered life is through a loving, committed relationship and raising kids. That path is not possible for everyone so you need to find a cause to live for. Save the animals,orphans or the environment, what ever floats your boat. You have to find something that is more than just about caring for yourself. Without this you won't be able to reach your full potential.

I think being alone goes against our needs, regarding several aspects. Humans need emotional and physical connection
I think it goes deeper than that. What if you are destined to be alone in this life? What if you are meant to be single, never get married and never have any kids? What if that was life’s plan or god’s plan for you and no matter how hard you try, you cannot change or escape your destiny. What if it’s just not meant to be?
Yes
One of my good friends basically gave up dating. I told her to get a dog as I am never lonely with my two pups. She rescued a dog and is even more content.
For me, I only want a man in my life if he’s going to add to it. If he’s going to disrupt my peace then no. Doesn’t mean that I still don’t date, but I love my work more than the potential of finding the one.
