Are you afraid to be alone?

hello Humbug, to tell the truth, I don't afraid of being alone, but I don't like to being alone, but if you require me to be together with a person who is chitchatting all the time, I would prefer being alone. I have been leaving home for a long time, more than 6 years till now, I have overcome the period of being afraid of to be alone, I think those who just enter into society are more likey to feel afraid of being alone, since they haven't get used to it.

No i am not afraid to be alone.

I love being on my own. I have always loved being on my own. I am divorced also (from person who "treated me badly" to put it nicely as you did), and have a teenage son. But am always happy to be on my own. I am very independent, and have always supported my self (since age 17) and have supported my son and I since long before my divorce. So it is hard for me to understand people who won't leave a bad relationship for fear of being alone, but I know what she means and that there are a lot of people that feel the same way!

Putting up with A affair would be more tolerable than abuse and/or mulitible affairs. Especially when you consider...the person most likely to kill you is your spouse. Then to if there are mulitable affairs there is high risk of vd's too. Also just because you are alone doesnt mean you have to be lonely.

No, Thank heavens i'm not. I have been alone more than i have ever been w/someone. I wouldn't have it any other way. I to was in an abusive marriage & have 'never' regretted leaving him & his drinking & mean ways. There are alot of worse things than living by yourself, we both know that. I'm glad u are out of yours to. Have a great weekend.

Hello Humbug.. Giving up on a relationship affects many things in our lives especially the presence of our loved ones. However, there are some things that we have to put an end with and accept whatever consequences it might bring us. Being alone with out a partner make s our life incomplete because we are not use to wake without somebody by our side, will miss the fun of eating our lunch and dinner together, and enjoying our favorite music. Sometimes, we have to give up and pay the price for these decisions. The world has lots of people who loves us, who will care for us, and who will understand our needs once we are alone and need somebody to be with us in our lives. No one should be afraid of being alone for there is light at the end of the tunnel and lead us to the persons who will be there for us. Happy lotting..

Your friend was afraid of being alone because she was "co-dependent" towards her husband. That means she developed excessive emotional or psychological reliance on her husband. Naturally, because she is married and that is her husband. You've shared many things in your life already. As to me, I am not yet married but I can't also say that I'm afraid to be alone because I'm not yet in that position. I can only hope not to be codependent.

to my mind , being alone is something that i don't believe in , because i have never been alone , and i have never felt that i am alone , because when i am someplace where no one is with me and where there is no one around me , i remember that i have someone who is with and will be with me forever , this one is ALLAH who created me and made me as i am now , so with him i can't say that i am alone . i have a important point that i have to shed light on , when we worship ALLAH and obey him and love him we have to be sure that he will ( a promise ) make people love us , and this is 100% . and as we probably know when people love us they will never let us alone . to make a long story short , i am not afraid of being alone since i have ALLAH with me.

For me, I'm not afraid to be alone if happen I have a wife and left me. But we need always to consider the love that will bind us in a relationship...Even do we are suffering from physical and mental abuse there is always a consideration...in our parts...have a nice day!

Hello Humbug. I have done exactly as you...left an abusive husband by choice...and lived alone, also by choice. In spite of lonely moments, I love the freedom of living alone. No one can maintain good physical or emotional health in an abusive relationship! When the fear of staying becomes larger than the fear of being alone, your friend will probably leave, too! I hope so, anyway. Karen

I'm really afraid to be left alone, basically because I cut all contacts with my old friends so If it weren't for my family I'd already be completely alone. I'm scared of when I'll be older, because my sister said she'd move to Asia and I'd be left here by myself. This scares the hell out of me.

I am not afraid to be alone.I've been single for the past 2 years and it feels good.I don't mind being single for the rest of my life.I don't want to get married for the sake of saving myself from being alone.if I become a spinster,I would work hard and focus on myself.I would go out and meet lots of people.I will continue learning.I would work on way to be a sexy spinster - a very,sexy and smart spinster.

hmmm. DEFINITELY NOT. well, if we're talking in a temporary manner ;) i enjoy being alone in the house because i get to clean my room without any disturbance :) and i ALWAYS watch movies in the cinema ALONE :)

Im not afraid to be alone, Because sometimes i need the feeling of being alone for me to think things. Im not emo. But it is just me. Sometimes my friend asked me, whats wrong with me? I just answered nothing and they worried about me. I just thanked them. I know it's more enjoyable if your with them, but we need to have time for oursleves too.

I certainly would pick being alone than being abused, no matter how small the abuse is. maybe to some people it is small but to me it isn't. and I'm not going to lie down and be a door mat forever. I am happy to say that I am in a blissful marriage for almost 9 years. I won't say I've never been hurt, but I didn't dwell in a hurtful relationship so in a way I didn't waste much time for something not worth my time and happiness.

Hi Humbug, I love my own company and have beenon my own now for 10 yrs I love it the fact I can do whatever I want and whenever I want is brilliant, being tied to my husband was the worst thing ever, he was mentally abusive too, even though I know have the house to myself it doesn't scare me at all and like my own space...LoLo

I'm afraid to be alone somewhat. Not as much as I used to be. I am afraid of hurting other people and sometimes I do things that are at my own expense to avoid this...

I've been single with no kids all of my life and I've never been afraid of being alone. There have been times where it would have been handy to have a helpmate around to help me in certain situations! LOL! But, no, I've never been afraid of being alone. Like you, I also enjoy my own company, but, there are also times when I appreciate the company of others. Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

im not afraid to be alone... being in a relationship for more than ten years, there have been times that i wanted to just be alone, and be by myself. i have missed the days when i can do things for myself and not for other people. but personally i dont want to live for the rest of my life being alone, i still want someone to be beside me. what i want is some space and time to be just by myself. i think we all need it, so we can think clearly, think things over, give time and just enjoy myself.

I am not afraid to be alone even in living alone in the dark or maintain their own home
