Am I going to be alone for the rest of my life?

You can feel alone even when you are with someone. More than likely you are more mature than the guys you have been running into and have more of an intellect. When the right guy comes along he will notice you. Besides you may find if you go out with some of these guys you mentioned, that they are very shallow and have no real personality. You don't really want to have a boyfriend just to have a boyfriend. I would not let not having a boyfriend bother you. In fact, I would use the time you spend by yourself to allow you to become more independent. This may sound corny, but if you can be a friend to yourself and be happy being by yourself when the right guy comes along, he will see your self-confidence and that you know who you are on the inside, and your relationship with that special guy will last for a lifetime. When you run into that special guy on your journey through life, trust me, you will sparkle.

Highly suggest you talk with a good therapist. During that time and now realize what you want in life. Therapist will help. I have learned from (others/family) poor behavior. Use this as a TOOL! One can not make others happy. YOU need to find happiness within. I know nothing of your friends and where you live. I highly suggest... to continue having a friend is with respect to them. Your problems may get worse if "you" end relationship through aggressive behavior to your friends. Religious believing can wait. Just know there is someone to talk with during quite time alone. I do it all the time. It works. Many of my guestions have been answered. Stop asking yourself why to everything. Concentrate on what "type" of person others see in you. I have a clue possible Bio Polar in your family. Trust me. My life at one time was similar. Go to a therapist. Let them help you. Most of your questions will be answered.\nBest of luck!

It's not so unusual to be unhappy about being alone. If that yearning for another weren't built in, we'd never be willing to make the compromises necessary to have a relationship.\n\nEven though you're unhappy alone, you weren't willing to stay with Ms. Druggie just to have someone in your life. Being unhappy alone is what you have to go through to get to the person who is right for you and not just take the first one that comes along.\n\nIt is very unwise to depend on your children for your happiness. It's great that you spend time with them. But they will grow up and have other things to do. That is as it should be. If you love them unselfishly, you must be prepared to let them live their own lives.\n\nIt is very, very hard to go through dating and finding a mate. The payoff is worth it. If you have your own business, you know that was hard to do and probaby took a while to accomplish. You didn't get discouraged there. Don't get discouraged during this process either.

Yes, I do.  I work, but its difficult for me.  All of my time after that is alone.  I dont go out to social gatherings at all.  Last time I did I went to a movie by myself, but dont think I'd do that again.  People seem to like me, dont really no why or care.  Most of time I am disgusted with people, just there presence alone.  It is my destiny to be alone, there is no way I could ever go on a date.  No way.  As soon as I was with the person, I would want to go home.\n\nI did live with someone who was a recluse for 3 years, and he was pretty good for me. He never went out, had no friends, stayed home on the computer or listened to music.  Only problem, he wouldnt work, at first I didnt mind but it really got annoying laying out cash for every thing.  Needless to say we are not together, but both still totally alone.

Yes, it's reasonable to expect fidelity in your absence.  I don't think it [is] healthy to be away from each other THAT long repeatedly.  In other words, if your lives are such that one of you IS going to always be gone 50-70% of any given year, I can see trouble.

why dont u find yourself first.  i mean, dont u just sit there and expect that a girl from heaven will fall in front of u.  give yourself a time to have fun.  most professionals are too busy to collect money.  that's not how it is.  yeah u are right...being alone is boring.  why dont u go out once in awhile.  but hey, 29 is not old.  dont rush buddy.  dont expect that love will find u if u are hiding.

You'll meet the right person wether you're into dating or not. There isn't anything wrong with you, I don't much take any interest in dating either, Although I'm only 13. (well i'll be 14 May 1st). But I don't find it very enjoyable. I enjoy just sitting around on the computer most the day and leaving for school and church, There's nothing wrong with you. Or there would be something wrong with me too. So it's ok, You wont be alone forever unless it's meant in gods eyes for you to be. Which I don't think that's so cause god made man and women to be togather. So you wont be alone forever, just have faith. All things are done through god. oh, and Good Luck finding your true love.

You are so young.  If he treats you badly now, it will only get worse.  How can you think that you're afraid to be alone for the rest of your life? Get some self respect and you decide if he's good enough for you.  Good Luck with that, eh?

Yes, generally, everyone goes through periods of loneliness.\nBut, that, simply means that their Life is empty. Or, they are stuck, not knowing what direction to take. What do you want from Life? What are your Goals? What are your Needs? Where do you want to be in the next 5 years as far as relationship, career, education, etc? These are the things which one can deal with during these periods. If loneliness is due to not having anyone in your Life to share with, there are community groups to join and meet people. What are your hobbies or interests? There are groups to join where the people share your specific interests. Loneliness can, also, be related to depression. In that case, check this out with a counselor. One clue is wanting to change one's Life but, not having the energy or ambition to do it. Or, just wanting to "Shut The World Out." Those are clues to depression & remedies which can take care of that so, that you an move on in Life. Community Mental Health agencies or local hospital may give you some support. Best of Luck.

I'm sure it is. But it's going to take a really long time and a lot of time spending with family and friends just so you don't think about it. Good luck ! and I hope everything works out.

Hi - seems you hit the lonely spot - you are looking at it the wrong way. You already have a life partner - you. Now for companion that's another story.\nLearn to enjoy yourself by yourself - once you are comfortable with yourself - you'll emit attractiveness and someone is out there looking for you!

So you're hangin in there out of fear of being alone?\n\nHmmm, really bad basis for a relationship.  No one else can make you happy.  You're the only one who controls that.   He's obviously not producing positive feelings in you so time to walk away.\n\nYou do need to find something though that interests you (solo) so that you can learn to feel comfortable in your own skin...ie: being alone, loving yourself for who you are, etc.  \n\nThere's nothing wrong with you.  The sooner you love and respect yourself, the less you'll choose (unconsciously or otherwise)  to be bothered by him.  Sounds like your feelings aren't so mixed.

b/c u were once content/comfortable with ur situation and u don't like change.  but that's part of life, if u don't take that chance then u will never know the outcome.  plus ur heartbroken and it scares u b/c u don't want to go through it again, and u're thinking 2 urself is this going to happen again?! U said u've never been single, there's a first time for everything.  word of advice --- quit looking for someone (enjoy time to urself/w/friends), let that someone find u. cause sometimes if ur not looking 4 love its looking for u. and don't be so negative @ moving on. good luck

I'm a pretty solitary person. \n\nAlthough I have a family, I grew up isolated in a very dysfunctional household and spent much of my time alone simply because it was the easiest and safest place to be.\n\nI love to do many of my favorite things alone -- hiking, watching movies, reading, artistic pursuits, thinking, writing, and so on.\n\nThe universe is meant to be explored, there are things to discover, and sometimes it would be nice to not be hindered by the restraints that relationships can bring with them.\n\nBut to live forever, alone? Forever? Never being able to communicate with anyone ever again, or share your knowledge, or help someone who needs it, or just know there's at least one person out there who cares and understands you? What's the point of living?\n\nThat would be hell.

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!
