Is companionship truly
necessary true happiness? What would life be like totally alone? What benefits
and drawbacks are there in a solitary life? Discuss this topic using evidence
from what you've read, observed, or experienced.
Compassion is not really necessary for true happiness but sometimes one needs to feel loved because nobody ever wants to feel unwanted. In life of one it totally alone the only thing to relay on is the self and one can only depend on the self for so long, eventually one will either go insane or draw themselves into a state of depression. The only benefit of being alone would be no one has any influence and no one can bring one down. By personal experience when I felt alone and had no one to turn too for compassion one went into a state of depression and wanted at least one friend to depend on for comfort. Within the book, one can relate to the monster in wanting to feel loved and having that one individual to love them, because when one has one companion everything that is wrong in life seems miniscule compared to the love given from this other individual
Most people often feel as if companionship is truly necessary for happiness. Which is why most people feel the need to search for a significant other because society has shown that companionship is the key to happiness because no one wants to be alone. However companionship is not truly necessary for happiness. Life totally alone is not something one would want to endure, however with my own experiences and beliefs no one is ever truly alone. There is always something, or someone, or a figure of faith to lean upon when they are feeling alone. The benefits of having a drawback life are not leading towards others opinions when making decisions because the only mind of opinion a person will have is their own. Yes in some aspects of life companionship is necessary but one does not really need a companion to fulfill happiness.
It can be agreed that society has established the idea that companionship is necessary for happiness. In contrast, companionship such as a friend to sympathize with, that gives much needed strength to get past hurdles in the road is needed. For a true form of happiness to be achieved, laughs have to be shared, thoughts expressed, and warm feelings felt. All of this cannot happen without someone else to look at, laugh at, or even yell at sometimes. Without someone to share the ups and downs that life brings, a person can never fully achieve the joys of life and experience the steep turns and lessons that existence brings. Silence conducive for lucid thoughts and the peaceful, independent environments that solitary life wields is advantageous nevertheless Man craves for human company, the warmth of others seeing as humans are naturally “needy” and social beings. Everyone requires assistance at one time or the other, making it impossible to remain completely solitary and independent of others.
Companionship is necessary for true happiness. It can arise affection for other human beings. The comfort that comes with such companionship can help an individual cope with problems by providing support. A life with total loneliness would be depressing and not preferable to live. Through personal experience and observation I've noticed that individual who lack support from loves ones are generally unhappy and not motivated to live. Therefore companionship is vital for true happiness.
Companionship may not be necessary for happiness in a technical sense. However, without having someone to share happiness with, a person feel anything less than happy. Companionship does not just come in the form of a significant other either, which is something many people forget. It is more than possible to share happiness with family members, close friends, or maybe even a dog. In the film Wall-E, Wall-E was content with the way he was living, but did not become truly happy until he met Eve. So no, companionship is not needed in order to be content, but it is necessary in order to be happy.
A companionship is needed for true happiness. It may not always be a person , or animal of some sort it may be something you cherish or something that you do that makes you feel good. There are multiple benefits from solitary life , worrying about no one else's feelings but yours but it's not always fun when there is no one there to be there for you. I have learned from experience that having someone or something to rely on keeps me balanced and in touch with my surroundings.
Companionship is a key element for true happiness. You can be the happiest man/woman in the world but what is happiness without someone to share it with. To live a life totally alone is like living in solitary confinement because you have no one to keep you sane, instead you are forever trapped in your repetitive thoughts. At the beginning of Frankenstein, the book introduces Walton, a sailor who is forcibly alone on his ship. He desires someone to speak with intellectually and is delighted to find Victor Frankenstein in the snow. Life is barren without a partner that shares your aspirations.
Companionship is not necessary for true happiness. One may believe that, but it is not true. Alone is just a figure of speech because no one is ever alone on this Earth. There will always be someone caring for that person. Life alone is not something someone dreams about. It can be believed that society forms this life of " companionship" and shun being alone. The benefits are focusing on oneself and not worrying about other opinions. While there are not any drawbacks because a companionship is not needed when one has family and friends.
Companionship is not true happiness necessarily. People can be friends but one person could still feel lonely in the relationship. However companionship is the path leading up to happiness. Being alone in life for long periods of time will kill someone since humans are made to be social. The major drawback of living a solitary life causes illness and depression as seen in Victor. However isolation benefits by giving a person time to reflect on any issues and resolve them without any distractions.
Companionship plays apart in someone's happiness. Having someone there for their emotional part of their life. Everyone needs someone in their life to validate their self worth. Having a companion can uplift someone and motivate someone. Living life alone would be depressing and unsocial. There wouldn't be anyone to share your happy thoughts or times with.

Companionship is truly necessary to acquire true happiness. In agreement with Aderia, not long after God created Adam did He create Eve because God saw and knew the need of companionship for Adam. Life totally alone would not be very successful in my opinion. Often in our time and culture we reach to others companion or not for guidance and advisement, however if one were to live totally alone, nothing would be able to be accomplished. The drawbacks from living a solitary life would be that of not being able to gleam from others wrongs and rights for one's own success however a life of solitary would possibly allow one not to face hardships from another. Along with a lack of success a life of solitary would cause depression, illness, and possibly death as seen in Frankenstein in Victor. Exemplifying that companionship is truly necessary to acquire true happiness.
Companionship is necessary for true happiness. As stated above, God would not have created Adam for Eve if companionship was not necessary. A life in total solitude would cause the world to become progressively more treacherous. Many individuals would have an ample amount of time on their hands, and would become unruly; "Ignorance is bliss". Being in solitude would allow many individuals to reflect on themselves. It would help many to decide who they are, and who want to be. However, many people may become depressed if left in solitude. The social and mental health of the individual would be unbalanced.
Companionship is not necessary true happiness. True happiness is not when we are judge we can ourselves. If everyone was alone they would feel like there is no love, they would be crazy and always bored. Sometimes its good to have someone in your life just know someone is there for you. In the book the monster started feeling lonely like moone was there so he ask for a mate.
Companionship is key for happiness whether that companion is an animal, friend, significant other, or family member. Being alone for a brief amount of time is nice and sometimes well needed but having a companion is a necessity. Life totally alone would be crazy because one would have no one to vent to or have socialization what so ever. The benefits of a solitary life would be having time to focus and find your true self but drawbacks could include depression due to the lack of someone to share your thoughts, experiences, and emotions with. The monster was tortured with the depression and sadness of solitary life due to his ugly appearance and abandonment by his creator.
Happiness is something that differs from each individual, not everyone views happiness the same way. Myself for example sometimes I don’t want to be any body’s friend, but after I have overcome that state of being anti-social, I want to be surrounded by people that care about me. So on the other hand companionship is something that mostly every individual desires. People say every day that they might be better on their own, most of the time they are right. But after that loneliness sets in, the outcome only makes them realize how much they need that significant other. That significant other to care for them, to be there whenever they need them, that’s what people want. We are not made to be left by ourselves in solitary confinement. Prisons do it to inmates for their punishment, so they throw the inmate in a room that cuts them off from the rest of the population. This makes the inmates go insane, they are left to think about everything and question their lives.
Companionship is necessary to be happy. Without companionship today, this world would be full of melancholy people. Companionship is not just couples it's friends and children too. A world without friends or even children would be a world no one would want to live in. Though the benefits of being alone are silence, no interruptions, hard work. The drawbacks of being alone would be craziness, no body to talk to, and no friends or family. Being alone would not be a great thing. Even in the movie 'Cast Away' the character succumbed to the pressure of having no companionship. With out companionship the world would be unhappy.
Companionship is supposed to be something that comforts every living being, supposedly there is a mate for everyone created. But at the same time doctors and therapists tell you that you need to be happy with yourself and by yourself. If a person is happy with their self why do they need companionship. There are a few benefits to being alone, for one you are not consumed with finding this love that you do not know, you know yourself like no other, and you are not having to deal with the stress of being with a companion.
Yes, companionship is necessary for true happiness. Without any companionship there is a feeling of loneliness. Life alone would be boring and depressing since there's no one there to connect with. Benefits of a solitary life are not having to impress anyone and not having to worry about anything. Drawbacks are no one to explore with and no purpose in life. Usually people say, "it's lonely at the top." This means that life is nothing if it can't be shared with others.
Companionship is not truly necessary for true happiness. Living life alone would be being independent, not having to rely on a "companion" for certain things. Not having a companion has some benefits. One doesn't have to constantly depend on another for things to happen and looking at some people, it is a hassle trying to get to know another, so they are better off alone. While there are benefits there are also some drawbacks. For some being alone or not having a companion can cause many problems. They can go into depression or other things, but it doesn't mean that companionship is truly necessary for true happiness.
True happiness is definitely found within companionship. This doesn't necessarily mean it is the only place to find this form of emotion. Depending on a being's personality, one can determine whether or not their happiness will be found by themselves or with the company of another. Living life alone does not have to be perceived as something lonely, cold, and sad. A solitary life can consist of individualism and independence. This action can be brought upon an individual forcefully to keep that being busy from longing for a companion or out of joy and true happiness for the love of what they do. This can conclude the several benefits and drawbacks to living a solitary life. Depending on the person the bad comments can out weigh the good and vice versa. The benefits of living a solitary life can include not being responsible for another beings feelings, it is less stressful, and you are more free to do the things you want or enjoy without permission. Some drawbacks about living a solitary life can include loneliness, having someone to talk to and express your feelings with, someone to love and always be by one's side to catch them from downfalls or rock bottom moments in one's life.
It is possible to be happy without companionship. There are numerous of people who are proud to say they are alone. In general some people function better alone or feel like a second party could slow them down. Although it could sometimes create an lonely atmosphere, one does not need companionship to become because there are people who prefer to be companionless to satisfy their personal needs.
Companionship is necessary in order to achieve true happiness. Although one can be happy completely alone, they will not be as happy as one is with a companion. Being alone allows an individual to learn about themselves, become at peace with themselves, and get to know who they are. But learning about oneself is useless if there is no one to share it with. Solitary life always results in being lonely and after a while, their life becomes boring.
