How do you cope with being forever alone?

Question

MarkRet · Accepted Answer

When I was about your age I was withdrawn, depressed, felt that I was so ugly, had few friends, and never had any relationships, because I thought women hated me. At the time I figured relationships just weren't going to happen for me, so I started doing my own thing, doing things I always wanted to do, like ice skating lessons, etc. It all expanded my horizons, gave me a feeling of self-confidence, and I broke out of a lot of shells. Relationships with women just seemed to start happening for me, and even though I didn't know what the hell I was doing, I learned along the way. I ended up getting married a few years later. I wasn't 'forever' alone, but I also didn't worry about it, and things just happened anyway. Stay positive!

For starters I always say you are never alone if you have imaginary friends & if you have imaginary friends consider yourself privileged because a lot of people don’t. On the other hand you may think you are alone in this world alone you are not. In life some people have a lot on their plate & some people have a buffet. In life I always say you should never give up, you should never give in & most of all you should keep moving forward no matter what. You ask how I cope, I just take one day at a time.

LOL that’s impossible. I’m sure you have family and siblings. But even then. The only way you can stay alone forever romantically is if you choose to.

People are desperate nowadays. You just need to know how to talk and behave to obtain a lady.

I've seen pretty and gorgeous women with the ugliest of men. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Get on testosterone, Hit the gym. Go to the military. Become a Cop. Join Karate. People are absolutely everywhere. Work Security at a Club.

I don't know WTF you're TALKING ABOUT.

You should stop wanting things you don’t have and appreciate the things you do have and remind yourself how much you would crave the things you have now if you didn’t have them. So add a lot more gratitude in your life.

Due to wife being military and going on 9 to 12 month deployments and my kid is autistic... I'm basically alone. Video games, drinking, lifting weights, and chores. Reading helps as well. Talk to yourself... get over that idea that it's crazy. I mean at least you're talking to someone.

lightbulb27 · Answer

Find God and accept Jesus Christ in your heart as your savior and practice what He preached. If that doesn't work, try Buddah. that way you are never alone and to be honest, that is the point of the belief in Christ... to address fear, death, and other sad emotions.

Then out of love in your heart, you learn to connect with others. I was alone for a long time, sometimes it takes patience, but much more... it requires you making changes and taking steps to learn to communicate, to grow as a man, heal your inner self, and find ways to like people and connect with them emotionally. That will require work.. no different than anything else.

If you want to be alone, then go ahead. it probably feels good because it validates how you feel, but I doubt it's what you really want.

TheVigilantOne · Answer

You’re only in your 20’s you won’t be alone forever and forever doesn’t exist, I’m older than you and I’ve been on my own for nearly 4 years now, I’m coping ok now and again I get an urge to want to talk to someone but that feeling passes, I’m sure you’ll meet someone one day.

"It's better to have loved and lost then to never have loved at all". The person that said this has never been hurt that badly🤣

I'm not saying that love isn't worth it when it good. Because when it's good it's totally worth it. But the reality is so few woman want anything more then thier own needs met anymore. I'm sorry man but that's the simple TRUTH!

You just see the single side so you don't realize how advantageous being single is. I would much rather be single for the rest of my days then be with a woman who really doesn't appreciate me.

Understand most people in relationships are not happy. I'll say again, MOST. They project an image that isn't real. Because they can't even admit it to themselves. When you realize this, your going to take a deep breathe, smile, and be thankful for how good you actually have it.

NewsReader · Answer

Understand that you don't need a partner in life. There is no law against being single for life. You can live a normal happy life with just friends and your family. That's what I'm doing and I'm fine. I have a career, my own place, I explore an earby park, and plenty of other things to do. I never think about the fact that I'm the only one at home. It's easy to live this way if you have a positive attitude and things to do.

I used to be in your boat but now I just escape in my imagination and love my fictional characters. I admire art, beauty, knowledge, solitude and few good friends.

I have very toxic parents who don't love me either, they wanted to control my whole life. At 23 I finally stopped giving all fucks.

Anonymous · Answer

this is incorrect. forever is a long time. even with your age, assuming you live to normal life expectancy, you still have a LONG way to go. there's absolutely no way you can end up forever alone. there's sooo many people on this earth too that will most likely appreciate you. in the meantime while you find someone, you can cope with being single by improving yourself or someone else's life. you're going to be okay. trust me.

You don't. You just exist and turn yourself into a robot of sorts, substituting human relations with work and studies. You will become successfull, but you still don't really exist outside of work, and that's never going to change. All you can do is hope for better luck in your next life.

Dated crazy ex girlfriend at 28M.

Now Currently dating someone at 36M.

Not everybody is forever alone. my Ex girlfriend was too crazy then i stayed single for 8 years until I met my current girlfriend who is friends with my old high school friends. If you choose to stay single then that’s your choice.

I travel live a luxurious life. Nd for sex I have whores. I don't mind it. For hand jobs there are spas. If u r alone make sure u have money. Nd life is awesome

I love the women's answers compared to the men's, women are saying how you never know what's gonna happen and that he's too young that he still has time whilst men say, cope, you don't need anyone etc.

It is sad, but I came long ago to the conclusion that it is better than being in a toxic or ill relationship.

DiegoO · Answer

You can't be forever alone, unless that you want to. Is a good question though, if hypothetically you stayed trapped in a place nobody else knows about, or a place extremely difficult to reach, with technology, and impossible: without.

There was a time when I thought i would be lone forever. Oddly enough I was okay with it.

Cedman · Answer

Go out and meet friends and have a good time. The irony of relationships is that when you are trying to get a girlfriend you have no luck. When your out having fun you attract women without trying.

I am used to be alone. You can do some activity like go to grocery shopping, watching tv, movies, have a cup of coffee sitting and reading and once in a while go travel alone. I don’t need anyone. People bring problems and I can’t handle it.

No doubt these cases are male-dominated, or just people who don't get into a relationship, end their alone status later than normal or male
