do you sometimes get the feeling of...?

Question

of anxiety that you might end up alone for the rest of your life?

why?

Answer 1

Yes, I am and always will be alone. Please let me explain.

I am very fortunate in that I have several loving people in my life, including family, friends and lover. My schedule is such that I have virtually no alone time, which makes it difficult to keep up my reading. But in the end, I am always left with the feeling of being alone.

The reality is that we live our lives within this shell of a body that separates us from everyone else. Relationships are essential to our being, but we are, by physical definition, individuals. People in our lives move on and leave us eventually. Those we love move to different cities, die unexpectedly, decide that they are no longer in love with us, or somehow fade into the shadows.

Even with those that are with us, we live separate lives. Our thoughts remain our own and are never truly shared in full with anyone. We keep secret our hopes, fears and desires, creating a vast divide between us.

Of course, most of my time is spent on the task at hand and living in the moment. The joys of life are limitless and I have been blessed so far. But I can't ignore the reality of our solitary journey through life, and I am reminded of being alone.

Answer 2

I did. Why? Because a month before my wedding my fiance left me a year ago. So, yes, for a long time I thought I would be alone forever.
Things have changed, and I feel better now. I no longer fear it. I embrace being single, but it took a lot of hard work. I need to focus on myself and my goals. Not in a selfish way.....but to move forward. So, now, I dont feel that way anymore, and I don't have the desire to be with anyone. If it happens, then it does. if not, well OK. I'll be fine.

Answer 3

At times when things get rough with my bf, I feel like if I break up with him than I will be alone for the rest of my life. It's mainly because i've started to lose hope after losing guys that I get really close to.

Answer 4

not really.
Im 20 but,

I dont know if I want to get married and do the whole kid thing.I want to be famous for something. I just gotta find what that is.
but yeah, I've heard nursing home stories of patients with kids and those withhout. They tend to be so miserable.

I think as long as you have something to do in old age and company/family who cares, well its better.

Answer 5

I might end up alone, but I'm not anxious about it. I happen to like me very much... and it would be a decision, not a sentence

Answer 6

yes all the time

for the past few YEARS now.........

i dont know why

paranoia, chemical imbalance in your brain, maybe its just good old depression - which i believe there is no cure for by the way -

but yes im scared of living this life because of what it mite or mite not decide to bestow upon me

fear of the unknown, its a human flaw

some lucky people have overcome it,

but im not one of them!!

i've given up trying to fight it

i've exepted my fate

what will be, will be.........

Answer 7

sometimes i feel like i will be alone for the rest of my life but i think what ever is meant to be will be..foxi

Answer 8

This is an insecurity thing.
Shake the feeling.
I do not think it is very scary to never find a mate.
if you force yourself to be with the wrong person then you may just be better off by yourself.

Answer 9

No. I have confidence and even if that were the case, I love myself enough to be content.

I'm a loner baby.

Answer 10

nope. sometimes I get the feeling that I will never have any alone time.
