I am someone that have given up on romantic relationship, due to past events. I am quite fulfilled with what I have tbh. Friends and families are enough for me. However, my friends and families keep encouraging me to actively search for my "soulmate". Since they feel that a life without "soulmate" isn't really worth living apparently. Should I follow their advice?

>>64028 nah. Do what ever makes you feel good. Like I was the same. Now after 'losing' friends n family I crave for a relationship. Like just do what you feel like doing. When you want a relationship you will realise you do. If you don't, then be happy that you are happy <3

Everyone lives their lives as they see fit, stop trying to fit yourself into other people's ideals of how you should be and you'll start living better.

It's your life, you do you.
To be honest, I wouldn't say a life sans romance is necessarily unfulfilled per se.
However, I do feel that, once age goes on and I (personally) hit 40 to 50-ish years old, and I'm still alone with no emotional support or just a really close person that I can share my life problems with, I'll feel pretty desperate.
Again, that's my POV, it could be the reason why people wants you to find a soulmate, but hey, what do I know?

the only thing I know is, some statistics says marriage equates higher work performance so some employers in some country care about that but of course thats very vague, but on the other hand, most country has married couple benefits so there is that

Considering the divorce rate in the US and Canada is something like 40%, I'd say this "soulmate" thing is a load of crap. If you find someone who makes you happy, great. If you're happy by yourself, great. You're not an NPC, doomed to follow a pre-written script, and there are no achievements to unlock in life except the ones you set for yourself.
