    Maybe look on it as a chance to face the abandonment issues and fight them.... Remember, it's not abandonment if it's someone you are better off without. Then it's escape. And a time to look at yourself and start thinking of all the many positive qualities you have, without someone constantly dumping negative thoughts on you. Chin up, Richie. You are very much loved by sane people who have absolutely no reason to like you, except that you're a decent guy. Even if you have a problem with Doctor Who and like ketchup a little too much. :lol:

    Some can't stand being alone, some relish it.

    I'm in the latter camp for the most part. Generally because I am a social creature I am seldom without something going on with others, and generally, being still alone, I can bloody well do what I want without a constant negotiation.

    As CB said above, this can be a great opportunity for you to really discover who you are, but I would also caution, that this can only happen if you do actively seek to discover yourself, it is so easy these days to fall into distractions, so afraid are we of just sitting in a room, alone with our thoughts.

    Nevertheless, it is also important not to make that a habit, I am among those who believe that we are most ourselves when in the company of others. I am slowly building my gay "family"; it's a long process, and for the most part, it is unpredictable who you will meet and what will happen, which is why you need to maximize your chances by getting out there as often as possible, meeting people, and getting yourself known...This has been happening to me all this summer, quite fun, and really uplifting!

    Be free and happy, rather than trapped and sad.
    Big hug, cheer up, keep making that sweet music!
