About me: 35 M, sociable introvert with the occasional social anxiety.
I'm usually the odd one out in every social setting without a SO. While most people I know are either having kids or buying a new place together, I am trying to accept that I may not be in a relationship anytime in the near future.

This is harder on me because I recently immigrated to Canada so I don't really have a social support system. I mean, having a partner definitely makes things easier financially or mentally. I have been single for a while now, so I don't know if I really want/need a partner at this point. And I guess since I'm unsure about it, I don't wanna be getting into a relationship only to become a liability.

Wondering if there are folks on this sub who accept singlehood and own it. How do you add meaning to your life and find peace when practically everyone tells you that you need to find someone (and maybe deep down, you know it's true)? Also, how do you cope with loneliness?

Adding some lifestyle details for context:

I work full-time but I try not to let my job define me. My hobbies include cooking, swimming, languages, dancing, music (rock, classical, jazz)

Things I'd like to explore: gymnastics, learning a new instrument, hiking trails

Values: "Live and let live", freethinker, LGBTQ ally, environmentalism, minimalism, anti-consumerism.
