Absolutly not! It means that you don't need to rely on a man to live happily. Its probably better if you're a teeneager too, because then you can focus on school and self improvement. People don't have to have boyfriends and get married to be happy. Just focus on positive things, and work at excelling in all you do. You never know, Mr. Right may come along soon. Best wishes!

I can relate. I can rarely find anyone who is truly appealing to me. Most the people I encounter are people that I don't care enough for to truly call them my friend. I'm with you - it doesn't much bother me. I went through a time when my social life was everything, but looking back it was not fulfilling. I have better things to do with my time than pacify my friends needs. I think some people just prefer solitary lifes.

. Maybe it is time to consider finding a new friend Friends accept us for what we are the best of and the worst. If you feel strange there problem is something going on. Are sure they are friends and can you really be yourself around them. If so how can you be thinking you can mess things up? Life is to short to be up happy either ask them straight out or accept the way thing are.

Yes, in a way, you can. That is, if you equate loneliness with boredom. Exciting people are never bored. If you focus on your interests and spend time doing things you feel a passion for, you will love yourself and have less need for others to validate your existence. Then again, I suppose you might come around to wishing you had someone to share your passions with...

There is nothing wrong with that. But it is always good to have close friends too. Maybe you should try to have a close friendship with some of the people you talk to.

I don't feel alone!!!  :D\n\nBut yes, we are always linked/connected to someone or SOMETHING, and people feel alone. There you can see that you can have everything in life, but if you don't have someone to share it with, you become miserable.

It is possible to be alone, without being lonely. I am alone, but far from lonely! I don't fear either one, because I have lots of interests, and friends......don't be afraid to be by yourself....YOU'RE A GREAT PERSON! Learn to love yourself! Good LUck!!

You have to learn that you don't  have to have someone with you ( as in relationship) all of the time, that it is alright to be alone.Its a hard thing to deal with , being co-depend ant, but you can overcome it.Just when going into relationships, don't just jump into them because being co dependent you can really get stuck in some crappy relationships..I have.If you are a praying person, pray about it, get counseling, talk to friend,s you are not alone!\nI wish you the  best of luck!

Wow, that is a tough thing you are going through! It is always hard to go through relationships. People are not perfect and we all have our issues and quirks. If you are really unhappy with your living arrangements, then try to find something that better suits you. \n\nThere is nothing wrong with having lots of friends. If there is jealousy involved it could really be an issue of feeling insecure. It is best to not put "all your eggs in one basket" in relationships. The more positive people you have in your life, the better.

I might be wrong, but I believe that the problem is that you are trying to behave the way everyone wants you to. What I am about to say is such a cliche, but nevertheless true: just be yourself. If those people don't hang out with you anymore, than they haven't been very good frineds to begin with. You are better off without them. \nAnd the fact that you are lonely is not necessarily related to the fact that you are alone. You can also be lonely in the mids of a crowd. Hope I gave you some food for thought........

I guess it is you the one that can help you out. \nI have the same "problem" but I don't see it as a problem. Better off alone than in bad company.\nDon't you know girls at job? at the bar? where you go? Try to start a nice chat.\nI am a loner so for me is difficult to start a conversation with someone I don't know, but if I wouldn't like the way my life was going I would try to do those things, and try to be more social. I guess.

There's nothing wrong with what you're doing. It'd be a problem though if none of the things you've already mentioned were prevalent in your life (e.g. family, friends, social activities, and so on). Good for you!

It depends on the day of the week, the time of month or if your close to valentines or christmas etc.\nBeing single is ok, I am completely independant, am not answerable to anyone and very rarely disappointed.\nBut that doesn't stop me feeling lonely when I'm sat in on my own, sadly answering question after question on here... \nI think it would be nice to find companionship, but then I meet someone and before it develops into a relationship it gets all heavy or complicated and think I can do without the hassle.. \nI have plenty of friends and will keep it that way until someone totally special comes my way.\nNot getting into something on the premise I am lonely, if I did that, I could let any kind of scumbag into my life, and they would probably leave it just as quickly having stripped me of my confidence. I am not prepared to let that happen.

Most often people feel lonely because they haven't learned to love themselves very much. Often it's because they spend so much time trying to please others or to be all things to all people that they don't take the time to learn what THEY need themselves. It's hard, but you need to learn to be happy with yourself, about yourself, and by yourself. If you can do this, then you will not find yourself lonely, or needy. In turn, others won't be turned off by you because you seem lonely, and sad, and needy. You will suddenly appear more interesting and desirable to someone else. It may sound contradictory, but I think you will find many people will agree with me.

Have never faced this problem, but if I ever did ,I would weigh the pros ,and cons of it.I find sometimes ,you are your own best friend.But you need to interact with others,everyone needs companionship,not just for sex,but for conversation.You should have an open mind about everything,because if your mind is closed to some things,you will surely miss something!!

Absolutely not! If I'm only harming myself, and no one else, what is wrong with that?

Yes because youre not opening yourself to others. You should be more open, sometimes you just need advice from your friends and for them to worry about you atleast once in a while.Besides keeping alot of problems to yourself isnt good, its not healthy and one day your just gonna explode emotionally.*
