As a single person for basically my whole life, every time I think about the people in my life who are in a relationship it makes me think about how I'm probably gonna die alone with no one to love me. How do I, like, not do that?

Yep I’m in that same boat bro. There’s 7 billion people out there on this globe, surely 1 or a few might want to meet us. Maybe not at the same time.... or maybe at the same time 🤣🤣🧐

As an old voice of experience, you and kainen will have hoards to choose from in your lifetime. Build it and they will come. 👍🏼🏄‍♀️

See I belive that, but like for basically every year that I've been able to date I've been single, if there really is someone out there, where the hell are they?

I know it seems like you will never meet anyone. But as someone on here said recently, there are lots of someone’s for everyone. You need to get out into the world as you can, join a group, go to church, learn a new skill, be out among people whatever activities you feel ok doing. And then just the basics, dress in clean clothes, brush your teeth, and smile at people. Then go about living your life. You will meet many potential mates in your life. I will let you in on a little secret now. I’m 57 and I have been alone a lot in my life. I’ve also had several very good relationships. Last year I met a really special man and we are still together. It took me a lifetime to find him and still there is no guarantee. You will have many relationships if only you give it some effort.

even i am in relationship, i still think that way. because future is unpredictable you know. lots of couples they might can not end up being together forever. you will find someone special someday, even nope, so what, enjoy your single life, everyone is die alone, technically.

What you say is very true. We all die alone. So we better just enjoy each day as much as we can. In the end we will have many enjoyable days.

Hi you have said in your bio you are 18. This is a time when you should be finding out who you are and having fun with friends. There is plenty of time for a serious relationship and I am sure you will meet your soul mate one day.

Interesting.

By your username, I deduce that you are probably in your 30's, maybe early 40s, And you haven't had a meaningful relationship?

There are plenty of good folk out there, the problem is meeting them. What sort of person do you want to meet?

Do you still dress Punk? Can be a turnoff to many folk. If your look is very outrageous, try dialing it down a tad.

Or do you avoid getting into relationships because of fear?

Do you avoid places in case of assault?

Covid has put the lid on a lot of things like dating, so as things ease it should get easier but many folk are still wary of meeting up.
