That's how I feel right now...I was with my now ex-husband from the time that I was 16 and married at 18 and divorced last August at the age of 23. Even before being with him, there was always someone that I had the typical school-girl crush on or was dating and even after our divorce, I have dated a few people but right now I am so busy with work, school, volunteering, and most importantly my daughter that I do not have many opportunities to meet anyone new. Even when I do spend time with my friends, we usually do not partake in anything that would open up the possibility of meeting anyone new so as of right now it feels like a lost cause. On the other continuum, it can be quite liberating because I have recently realized how this is probably one of the first times ever where I have not been interested in or romantically involved with someone so it's kind of nice to focus a lot of my attention to other ventures and myself. It does get lonely sometimes and it would be nice to meet someone but I figure that perhaps the saying that "you'll find what you're looking for when you stop looking for it" (or something similar to that), will prove to be true and when I am no longer spending my time searching for someone I can find contentment on my own and be at a better place when someone who is compatible does come along. I have also come to appreciate the other aspects of companionship through family and friends and realize that being with someone isn't necessarily a necessity but something that evolves when there is a mutual attraction and you truly want this person in your life as opposed to just wanting anyone to keep you from being lonely. Like I said earlier, it does get lonely being on my own and it can sometimes feel extremely hopeless but I suppose it can be a lot worse like being in a relationship with someone who causes you pain, which can be considerably more lonely then actually being on your own (as I came to find out through my very bad marriage). Despite the fact that I and others who are single do feel that they will be alone for the long haul from time to time, it should definitely be noted that there are far worse circumstances that one can find themselves in, in the context of romantic relationships and that if one looks closely they can see that there are others in their life that can help feel the voids and lend a shoulder and their company despite not being on that romantic level (if that makes sense). Good question and good luck:)

You just asked 4 million online Yahoo people a question about being alone?????????
Do you buy gas, food, dine out, walk, run, jog, call people on the phone? To say you are alone is to disrespect every single person that you have ever met.
Are you a member of any clubs such as Lions, Rotary, Masons, Toastmasters. Do you go to church AND hang around after the service. When you buy groceries, do you smile at the cashier and use the name on their badge. Do you work out, swim, jog. Do you answer questions on YahooAnswers, subscribe to any blogs AND make contributions.
Aloneness is very much self-made.

Yes, most of the time, I'm 22 and I have a BF, but I always think about it anyways, it feels scary.

Yeah, frequently.
Society is so damned crowded that it's highly unlikely though. Keep a wide, wide circle of friends and social acquaintances, keep trying to meet new people, meet friends of friends and you can't go far wrong.
Unless you're hopeless at remembering names that is...
