There is something easier, and that's being alone. That's the perspective I used to take.

But, on the flip side of healthy relationships being hard but worth it, being alone is easy but shitty.

Trust me, as the high-school kid that had too much cynicism and sarcasm and assholishness than anyone should or could handle. Your perspective will probably change when you find someone worth trusting, in the same way people who say "I don't need a boyfriend/girlfriend" - because of constant rejection/an inability to reach out and ask someone out - find someone worth being in a relationship with.
