Being single has its own blessings.  It also comes with curses.  Same with marriage.  People aren't really meant to be alone, but sometimes it's better.  I know for a fact it's better to be single than be with the wrong one.  If you find the right one, well. . .that would be a major blessing.  \n\nYes, you should be content being single.  If you struggle against it you could end up in a horrid relationship.  Just be patient and content.

I think we all get that feeling sometimes. Sometimes you sit in a crowd and you still feel lonely. I think knowing God helps and also going out and caring about others. I like the saying "the only way to have a friend is to be one". If you look for someone else who is lonely and you make their day by giving them some attention, it also make you feel less lonely because someone appreciates what you did. I think it also helps to find fulfillment in what you do. Work on your talents and hobbies and you'll find satifsaction.

We are social creatures and in order to develop healthy and normally we need human interaction. We can't be by ourselves or we would not function properly. Most people get depressed if they are alone too much. Human interaction is basically good for the soul.

There are people who like solitude meaning never needing someone around but then there are those who want that companionship.  Also as human beings we are sexual and a way of not feeling guilty about it is being MARRIED.  I'm not saying people get married because of that but it makes sex legal.  I've always wanted someone to love me unconditionally but even still I haven't found it.  I don't want to be alone, I want someone to grow old with.  Your spouse in most cases are your best friend and would do more for you than the one you already have.

You should be your own best friend. There is only person in this world who can make you happy...yourself. Really, as corny as it sounds, happiness doesn't come from being with someone or having someone or the way that someone treats you...its about how you look at life. You have to live this life and if you want to live it crying or laughing...you still have to live it so why not laugh along with it. Try to make new friends, reconnect to your old friends, get some new hobbies, join a club, read good books, listen to great music, travel, get out there and take life by the horns...you're young and healthy and active...there are many people who are sick and dying and who'd give anything to be in your place so thank fate and don't feel sorry for yourself.

yes i do very often. i'm a single child and i'm 18. i feel lonely even when there are people around. i think it's a psychological problem. but i always get over it. i try to find something to do to keep me busy like reading, renting a movie, painting or chatting with people on the net. with time i got used to loneliness and now when i'm surrounded by a lot of people for a long time i feel ill at ease coz i ended up liking loneliness actually.. loneliness can be good or bad. it depends how peopl react to it...

Depends on what you think succeeding in life is, if happiness is included in the definition, then yes i think you need friends. Friends give you something to fall back on and real friends are always there when you need them. I love my friends.\n\n:)

Truthfully, you are never truly alone, unless you believe you are truly alone.  The mind has a powerful trick over the heart.  Just don't give in to the sense that you are alone.  Look around, and find people to talk to.  I know you will overcome this sense of alone-ness. I went through the same thing.  Just trust yourself, and what you believe in.  You'll always come out on top of your problems if you just try.  Trust me.\n\nI wish you the best of luck.  Don't let the feeling of alone-ness get to you.  The worst of things can, and will happen if you do let the alone feeling in to your heart.

People need someone to fill the empty space in their hearts. You need a husband and kids to fill it up. Someone to share you thoughts and feelings. Someone who could make your life very meaningful.

It is much easier to manage one person (yourself) than two people. Having a significant other doesn't always mean all sunshine and roses. What it does is it widens the spectrum of your emotions and your life. You will be happier than you ever felt, and other times sadder than you've ever been.

Some people feel very much alone when ignored by their boyfriend or girlfriend.  They feel like they are not loved or liked and taken for granted sometimes.  It is as if they do not exist and it is a very lonely feeling.  I would rather be alone period than experience loneliness in a relationship because it is twice as bad since you care about someone but they don't care about you and it makes you lonely and empty and inside.

no one can answer this question but you. what do you feel you are missing? companionship? love? whatever it is, you have to be the one to find it and fill it. it will have to start from within yourself and fill from the inside out. sometimes a good friend will will the gap until you find what you need. it also could be because you dont feel as though your life is fulfilling enough and you need to make more if it then what you are doing now. i would not recommend drugs and alcohol. those are a temp fix and will only leave the empty spot bigger with time. if you need help, i know what you are going through and can give you all the advice i can. feel free to contact me.

My mate completes me. She is what I have always wanted. She was my best friend for 6 years before we became involved and we will be married next summer.\nI dont think a mate is required to have a full life, but from my experiences I do believe being truely in love with someone who returns your love and respect does greatly enhance your level of happiness.

It depends. If you're happy being single and not always on the look out for a partner, then I'm sure that can be rewarding as you have much more freedom. You also miss out on alot. It's divine having someone to share everything with. I'm just not a single kind a girl and am sooo relieved I've met my soul mate. Sure life has it's ups and downs and nice to have our space. But having someone to come home to at the end of the day. Someone to kiss and cuddle and make passionate love to whenever you want......there's nothing better. So, for me...happiness is being married.

Well it depends on what people I'm around. There are some people that I can laugh and have a good time with, and there are other people who I just think are stupid. And yes, sometimes when I'm alone I can be very happy. I don't have to be around people constantly to be happy.
