I am thinking about how much a love exercising, but I am kind of sick of taking showers.

I try this tactic sometimes, and it can work sitting alone with no one else around. It is even comforting. But then I realize it is not true, that life is unbelievably richer when you share something with someone else. I think about dying alone, or what 40 years in the future will be like without sharing it with anyone.
It's kind of like what that old white dead dude said "If you hang yourself, you'll regret it. If you don't hang yourself, you'll still regret it". . . what's his name. . . When you're with someone, you think about how much better it'll be on your own, and when you're alone you feel lonely and want someone. That's how it is with me sometimes, though I typically prefer being alone, I like the freedom. It's just nice to have someone to go to dinner with or out to the movies once in awhile.
Edit it add:
"Marry, and you will regret it; don't marry, you will also regret it; marry or don't marry, you will regret it either way. Laugh at the world's foolishness, you will regret it; weep over it, you will regret that too; laugh at the world's foolishness or weep over it, you will regret it either way; laugh at the world's foolishness or weep over it, you will regret both. Believe a woman, you will regret it; believe her not, you will also regret it; believe a woman or believe her not, you will regret it either way; believing a woman or not believing her, you will regret it both ways. Hang yourself, you will regret it; do not hang yourself, and you will regret that too; hang yourself or don't hang yourself, you'll regret it either way; whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both. This, gentlemen, is the essence of all philosophy."
― Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or: A Fragment of Life
