Re: What will make you happy?
[ QUOTE ]
It was more 'if you are single, will you ever be as happy as you could be?'

I completely disagree with this, and just from browsing other replies it sounds like most people really do feel the way that you said here. I would say it is not more or less "happy", it is just different. I am 22, have a serious gf of a long time (4-7 years, no exact date), but in this relationship I have learned that thinking that she should make me happier, or being with someone that you want to be with should make you happier than if you are single is a very negative and dangerous thing to think. It is just different. I think this is the kind of thinking that makes people go crazy, feel bad about relationships in general, and doubt themselves and the person they are with.
A little hint that has helped me is really paying attention to knowledge or phrases that have been around for a very long time, because you take these for granted and can be really helpful.
