Hello My People


HappyLoner

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I first want to say how exciting it is to have found AVEN. For most of my life, I had a strong resentment toward societal pressures as it relates to sexuality, and never felt completely comfortable coming to grips that I wasn't as sexually driven as society says I should be. I have always had a hard time relating to the way my friends view sex, the way they talk about sex, and how it seems to consume them. Only recently have I found a sense of peace with who I am, and a sense of satisfaction in knowing that I don't have to be what others think I should be.

I am 36, I live on my own with my dog, and I enjoy both the company of others, and my own company. I cherish my solitude, something that is hard for most people to understand. I've always felt an expectation to be something I'm not, to be SOMEONE I'm not, and it's nice to know that I'm not the only one.

There is so much that I want to say, and want to share, but it is late, and putting my thoughts in to words is not coming easily to me now, so I think I'll leave it at that. I look forward to exploring more of the site, reading more of what you all have shared about yourselves, but most of all I look forward to learning more about myself.

Hello HappyLoner, I'm glad that you discovered and joined this community. I totally understand your point of view, it's something I went through during my 20s (recently I turned 30).

Hi HappyLoner and welcome to the community. As you begin to explore this site, you'll definitely see you are not the only one that feels like you do. I was amazed to see how many were in the same situations as me. It's a great relief to know you're not alone.

Hi and welcome to AVEN. I'm new here too - so new that I have not even done a welcome post yet. But like you, I live on my own with my dog and I am satisfied with my life of solitude.
