Here I thought I was just an asshole.

And l thought it was because l am a 70 year old musician without a lot of money and less hair.

I'm single because I'm an awkward introvert that never leaves home except to go to work. It's kinda hard to meet people if you don't interact with them.

Well... I was born Single... it is my Natural State since I was Born... Genius!!!!

Widower,lost wife of 27 years to cancer,a good ,stable marriage, no drama,just peace and tranquility,hoping to find another woman with similar outlook on life.[agnostic.com]

I just don't feel acceptable as a person, and I don't feel like anyone should have to put up with all my garbage.
Having said that, I was abused as a child, and I know it has messed me up in ways that can't be healed.
I really enjoy sex and intimacy, but I think some people are so broken that they should not have intimacy with anyone, as it just leads to an overwhelming stress and heartache for all involved.

Lost wife 10 months go to cancer,after 27 years of marriage,taking things slow,afraid to commit as I hear horror stories,so,I'll fall back on my old bachelor survival tactics,I suppose.

I'm single and always wondered why. I don't see me entering into any kind of relationship (as a friend or one that may evolve into something serious) soon. I always thought if it was ment to be, it woukd have happened, whrn I was in my early 20's.

I'm not.

I can't find a woman to trust. I also left a relationship as a survivor of violent physical abuse. Relationships induce a state of terror inside me.

Nah..
