  1. For the good times, it's easy to find plenty of people to share it with you. It is hard when it come to the bad times. You are sick and somebody should visiit you in the hospital. Or you end in wheelchair and need nursing or whatever. In those situations it's better to have a long term relationship, some emotional bonding. No you don't die alone, somebody has to burry you. Do you want an anoymous officer to do it ?

  3.  @JAE-gg1xb  It's not about your developing, it's about your problems. You have a disease or a difficult decision, you need emotional support of somebody. If you come up with such situations more often, you will loose friends, cause you are exhausting and you are not the place or guy to have fun with. Imagine you get in a wheel chair or worse, most people experience they loose at least half of their social contacts. Just because you cannot join for the weekend hike or so. Also, most people still have family around, until they are 50 they have parents, maybe siblings, but they die or loose the power to support you. So as older you get, as more of your contacts will break away.

  6. Maybe you get out the garbage, in order to have sex later on. Life is more complex than "only do what you want".

  9. Actually, happiness or a thrill comes from changes or surprises, discovering is a big joy ....just knowing somebody deeply can give you security and a warm feeling, but no thrill any more.
