I'm 29 and not yet married, i'm really having a hard time dealing with this...I am afraid to be alone...How did you deal with this feeling of inadequacy that accompany that....Sometimes i'm thinking if who will bury me when im already dead,,,who will take care of me when i am sick, i'm afraid of ghost who will accompany me,,,and what if its already the end of the world,,,who will be with me struggling alone....

Hi Camie... I'm 29 too and single...I'm facing the same troubles.. I don't have the exact fears that you've. But I'm terrible lonely... It gives many fears and haunts me all the time. In fact, it kind of mocks at me.. Sometimes, I get very low and sometimes I'm a high-spirited creature. Mood swings have got so frequent... The problem is I am with myself only. So I love myself and fight with myself. Terrible right!?? One might think I'm writing from asylum. But I'm as normal as anyone...
I want to be happy... Like others...

Dont feel bad friend God makes couples for everyone and I know if marriage is late means more love between husband and wife. But dont put any condition before marriage or after marraige otherwise difficult to get the wife. Nobody will alone because for a man women is exist in the world and for women a man is exist in the world. Fix by God but when time is come with in a day you will get married.

Hey Camie, i use to be feeling lonely too but ever since the internet i could hardly or rather by choice get to talk to anyone. It is flooded with people from all over the world. Go to the dating site if you like choose your future spouse and have a good laugh looking and reading about those sharing the same experience.
Change your environment or circle of people you hang out with and sometimes you need to detect if that feeling of loneliness is due to your body hormon or some because you have taken some under influence substance. 29 is still a small number, go see China theres a province that is full of 100yrs old and above, and the people there is still breathing and cycling bics. Be sure also that you are not the species that must have a lot of attention.

Hey! I am 20 and NBSB or No BF Since Birth. I too am thinking about that since my mom wants me to be NBSB not until I will become a doctor and support on my own which is as far as my calculation goes 29or 30. I know how you feel. My cousin felt the same. Now she's 30+ but still not married. For a guy, it is not a problem but for a girl it is because biological clock is ticking.
Piece of advice camie, go out and mingle so that you can enlarge your circle and friends and with in that, probably you will meet the one you are looking for. Also, keep praying to GOD that HE will find the right partner for you. Don't make rush decisions or don't fast forward things. Just let it flow. Remember, True Love Waits ^_^

during my psychotherapy class, we were talking about fears... the rest of my classmates talked bout fears of physical objects, heights, etc. when my turn came, i simply answered: to live and die alone. that got everyone quiet. lol. i guess, deep inside everyone, there is that fear that our lives and selves would be less meaningful and without security if we our alone. to your question how i deal with it? i try to live my life to the fullest extent i can in spite of my fears/situation. more, i make it a point to exert effort to keep my friends and be open to people coming in and out of my life :)

Hi camie, I share the same sentiments. Just pray to God that you will soon find someone who will love you and take care of you as you grow old.

Hello camie!
I'm 20 years old, but had never experience to have a formal relationship. I don't understand why guy's can;t appreciate me. I have a lot of male friends but still no one really proved his love for me nor confess his serious feelings for me. Im also afraid of becoming an old lady.To comfort myself I listed down the advantages of being a single blessedness person. I know it's empty that you have no one to love and hold in your entire life. But there's many things that we can be joyful of. Example:Stable job, healthy body and mind or faithful and loving friends or a very supportive family. Divert your emotions to the things that you have. And most of all God is there to accompany and protect you, so don't be afraid because He will never leave you.

Lonely too ,but I'm not alone . There are two guys live here and we three share this house . But we do not talk a lot . They are friends and they live in one room , but I just a people to them .
I do not have a GF either and I am not going to find because I want live one year or two with myself . You know , in your age ,we should married and then I will not have a chance live single again .
Anyway ,I understand what you are feeling and absolutely realize your heart . If I am 29 and single I should worried . You know that someone who can make dinner for you , wake you up in the morning , talk to you when you unhappy and even have a baby for you . How fabulous!!!
But ,but now lonely ..... I think you should find a girl and you need this .

hi camie!
i am 24 and happily in a relationship. =)
i was able to be at that point of dilemma when i wasnt able to move on with my past failure in love. but fortunately prayers have been my sword. i have read a book about BO SANCHEZ (a famous preacher here in philippines). He mentioned in his book(how do you find your one true love) that in order for you to find one, be at the places where your ideal guys are. Trying to be at home would only give you least of choices. Try to go out and explore places. Arm yourself with bachelors soon. Hoping for the best. =)
