Are you afraid of ending up alone?

Nah. Not as long as I am able to rise from my bed. If one has no pet, one can go to the zoo. If one has no plant, one can go to the forest. If one has no mate, one can go meet friends, or go to a meeting place and meet people, no matter what age you are.

no i am not afraid ending up living alone, why should i? all of us are born with no one beside us right? we have our parent but they only take care of us, but for a fact we are still alone and have to be independent

Sometimes, I get lonely. I live faraway from my cousins and other family members. I do not too worry about marriage, but I want to get many friends as much as I can and make them as my brotherhood and sisterhood. I love crowded.

yes, and i am one of them who is afraid to left alone. Im afraid when time comes that my partner leaves me because of health problem or too old to live in this world. A thought of it depressed me and i don't know if times comes i will be ready for that. I love my partner so much and if God will take me first then i will be sad also to see my partner mourning. Though we have our children in the future but they have their own life and family.

I agree, even in my self I'm afraid to be alone. Can't imagine to live alone i think i'm going to be crazy.hehe

This is one of the most common fears in the world. Winding up alone with no one to take care of you is very scary.

I wonder sometimes how people get afraid of being alone. I am single for the last two years and now I have gotten used to it that I find it difficult to imagine myself in a relationship. Its not that as if I am a loner, but I just don't feel lonely even when I am alone. There is so much to do. So many things to learn that I hardly feel a need to be in a constant company.

I think we all are sometimes thinking about what our lives would be ina few years from now, and i am sure that at least once in those thoughts we have fear of living alone at our old age. I mean, i would never be happy if i grow old by myself, if there are no people who cares for me... i feel that it is really the worse way to live if you have lived up to a hundred years and that you are still striving and trying to survive on your own. no man is an island and yes for me i think i would rather die young with people around me than live a long life and no one to share a single moment of it with someone else.

Hi rappeter13, I am not sure this is true of many people now a day. I say this because so many people don't want to be married. Sometimes people are married and they still feel alone, because their spouse is just there with not kind of close relationship. In this case it is better to be unmarried and just have lots of friends and family around. You should never depend on someone else to make you happy. You are responsible for you own happiness. There is so much to do to keep busy and to keep from getting bored and lonely. Many people live together and never get married. So getting married just because someone is afraid that he or she will grow old and will be alone is a huge mistake. They will probably get divorce before they get old because they married for the wrong reason.

I am very afraid of being alone. I hate the fact of being single.. as most people enjoy it. I think that's why I have held on to my marriage for so long hoping that things will work out between me and my husband.. because I wanted us to grow old together and raise the princess into a Queen that we brought into the world. I felt it would be easier that way than to just have to start over from scratch.. but as I stated in a blog I started here recently on myLot "Single is lonely... but it gets better over time". Time heals all.

Come to think of it, yes, I am afraid of being alone. We are sociable beings in nature. We need to relate. We need to contribute. Before, I thought it was cool. Minding your own business. Being free. Doing what you want all by yourself. No hassles. No one telling you what to do. But then, it would get kind of lonely. What if you got sick and needed to be brought to the hospital? What if someone did brought you to the hospital...whom would you call or refer to when the nurse asks for the name of your wife, a friend, a guardian. We do need someone in our lives. Our mothers brought us into this world. Who would be with us when our time is up in this world? So, yeah. I am afraid.

I agree it is one of the reasons why people get married. Yet I do not fear to be alone. Not in my age, right now it's the one thing I'm looking forward to - being able to live alone, the freedom!

i totally agree, i am scared about living alone, not only when i get old but also at present, when i am just 20.

some people maybe believe in that thought but god give us life to enjoy it whether your married or not.. and even if you dont marry you have your family beside you.. here in the philippines has a strong bond between families. it sucks though that in other countries they are sending thier elder to a institutions for elders.

That is true for a lot of people though. But I don't see the real point in it if you won't even be truly happy with the person you settled with in the end anyways. Might as well be alone if you end up having a person you have grown to hate next to you in the end. Either way, you didn't achieve the love and true company you really wanted. But people have to try something I guess...maybe some people rather that then handle being alone.
