friends help: seriously, how is being alone any good? - Help.com

I know… it’s painful. Though sometimes I like being on my own, when I remember how much of a pain other people can sometimes be if they’re in your face all the time. Kind of hard finding the balance.

Actually - it’s kind of boring isn’t it! If I wasn’t alone, I wouldn’t be browsing around this website…. le-sigh.

lol…I’m married and my wife complains all the time..she wants me to hang with her friends when I want to stay in..won’t let me watch what I want to watch…I love her to death but bein single isn’t that bad

Do what I did. Find stuff to do with social groups. Join a movie group, a biking group, any other group that does something together and involves people. Look at meetup.com. Just keep going to as many events regularly as you can and practice your social skills. You’ll gain confidence (guaranteed) and you’ll feel better and who knows, you’ll probably meet someone you’d like to get to know better. It worked for me.

I lost ll my friends completely and get very little personal time…I don’t read as much as I’d like to, Even if I had friends she would cry if I was gone too long….I guess it’s really how you look at it…Being alone does get boring but theres nothing stopping you from playing the field at least

Can’t decide which is better - alone or together. Typical isn’t it, we always want to change what we have.

How’re you doing Linuxya - you’re a widower?

Don’t spend more than a few days/nights with your significant other. Spend the rest of your time doing your own stuff. You’ll enjoy both a lot more.

I’m doing very well, thanks. Social groups and exercise made things work for me. That and I work with a great business partner who’s full of optimism.

Yeah being alone sucks!
