    focus on today, worry about today. there is plenty of time to worry about the rest of your life. there is enough on your plate, just for today. take care of today, every day, and all the tomorrows start coming together.

    Realize that being alone is not bad - it's fine - even fun a lot of the time.

    Sometimes being "In a relationship" is overated, people are not that happy in relationships as you think that is just icing on the cake when they are in public...they put up with kids, in-laws, sibblings on each others side of the family...family drama who doesn't like so and so, your being judged all the time by family, you other half, your friends...you feel unapriciated...that is the run down on a relationship...it's not all that fun it's work, all relationships are..but when we are alone we want to be in that mix and be in the drama all for love...sometimes have to sit down and think is it really worth it?(when your in one) and if it is, then it's love...and if not...it's not a nice place to be.. getting to the subject no it's not all that fun being alone but it isn't fun arguing about "the relationship". Sometimies that is what relationships do, is argue about it instead of enjoying the moment of " being in a relationship" so I would say being alone is a great thing...it's a time to prepare yourself when you do get one...be ready!!!!

    imagine about best time what you spent in your life, try to do something which makes you happy(whatever it is whether it's weird for other)
    communicate with other who understands your feeling, be your self, don't think about the problem, try to solve it out
    i heard one proverb in english " nothing is impossible for those who have strong desire to work out
    i can't assure you to be your Bff but as long as i'm using ep you can share whatever you wish..........
    after all some what loneliness needs for the life

    I am wondering if it being alone or being lonely that you fear. Stop saying you will be alone for the rest of your life. How do you know? The truth is we all go through times of being with others and then being with ourselves. The goal is to love both.

    There are worse things than being alone........
    You are young. don't act desperate it isn't attractive to men. It scares them off.
    Quit worrying about it and get on with your life......

    By focusing on a day at a time, getting out there and trying to help others. Also, I try to remember that being with a partner or having kids doesn't guarantee that I won't be alone, so I also try to like my own company as much as I can. I share your fear and the best way is to focus on the here and now.
