That primeval fear of being alone FOREVER

I don't even believe in soul mates, but yeah, I've had the fear of never finding anyone, too. It's just exacerbated by the size of my available dating pool (ie queer girls).

 

it's something i worry about, but to put my mind of things like that i consider my place in the universe and my duty to commit to my future profession. lame but it eases the pain.

 

Screw the future! I want a girlfriend right now! But, yeah, I do feel hopeless about future loneliness. People tell me I'm too young to worry about relationships, but jeez! I've only had four boyfriends and no girlfriends in my life. Most people my age have had a lot more relationships.

 

Quality over quantity. It's okay to only have dated a few people, there's no age appropriate number.

 

After 20 years with the WRONG person, I have to say that the thought of being alone gets less devastating by the day....

 

It definitely can be very tough. I can relate

 

I used to feel that way....trust me we all did.

One day that person is going to come into your life unexpectedly and confused the heck out of you.

 

I think about it every day...scary, i dont wanna be by myself forever :/

 

I have that same fear. I've never dated, and I'm scared I'l never find anyone. I really don't know how to meet other girls who like girls.

 

Apparently you meet someone when you least expect it|?? that's what I've been told.

 

Honestly, I don't have that fear. Most of the people I know who are married (gay or straight) they seem so miserable.
All the they do is fight.

 

I'm not exactly afraid but it is something that is on my mind often and concerns me a bit. I know I'm still young but being almost 22 and having never been in a relationship/actually dated can cause you to question...

 

All the time. I'm getting older and it doesn't help that most people my age are married or in long term relationships.

 

better no relationship than a bad one. i took myself out of dating game for awhile. too much drama and heartache.

 

I live in the NOW! The future is unpredictable and I don't tend to worry about that stuff *Not just cuz Im young, Im single, have lil to no friends and just learned how to be happy with myself but because Ive been threw alot*- whether Ill find someone to share happiness with in the future tends not to bother me anymore. I know ill find someone one day.. I don't know when.. but I will find someone.. and that's all I need to know.

 

I'm a very eccentric person. My personality does not reflect how I feel on the inside. If I ever find "the one" They'd have to be just as crazy as me. I certainty don't see that happening in my high school.

 

Though I'm only 20 I do fear this sometimes.

As it is right now I am extremely lonely. I'm tending to shut out my friends and family who I know will turn on me once I come out, but I'm just doing this to prepare myself for the inevitable separation. But it is lonely and sad and I've often thought...what if I don't meet someone? What if after I lose everything I never find anything to replace it with?
