Which sentence is correct?
- Your life will get better when you realise it's better to be alone than chase people who don't really care about you.
- Your life will get better when you realise it's better to be alone than TO chase people who don't really care about you.
I have found the sentence above on the Internet. But I don't know if we should add the preposition 'To' before 'Chase' or not.
Thank you in advance.

The first sentence doesn't strike me as obviously wrong. I think it's OK without the second 'to'. The contrast is clearer if you repeat the 'to', but I don't think that you have to repeat it. Both infinitives - 'be' and 'chase' - can depend on the first 'to'.

Thank you, Ryan.

Grammatically, the second one is correct but if you were to say that to someone either one would be fine. For a side note in the United States the word "realize" is with a Z.
