I think i'm going to die alone

Everyone around me has someone friends and family members are married and have kids of their own. I have only ever had one girlfriend in my life and it didn't last long and ended horribly. People keep saying that I'll find the right person and I hope that that's the case but I'm almost 25 and I'm still single. Is something wrong with me I am social like I said I have a lot of friends but it feels like I won't find anyone. It's depressing to think that I might die alone dose anyone else have this problem.

        Almost everyone's life is shit, with or without someone.

        Don't worry no one will remember you in 100 years regardless.

    Relax. You're only 25. You'll find someone in time. No one dies alone. You won't either. Best,

    You're still young. I know several people who didn't meet their spouses until their 40's or later, and this is becoming increasingly more common. It is also better to wait for the right person than to rush into a relationship or marriage that is not going to work. You will likely eventually find someone, it just might not be right away.

        Go to A.A meetings. I know a lot of people who go there to be around people cause they are lonely. They aren't alcoholics. They just go.

        Honestly that is the only hope for you. Pray to God, seek your spiritual center or whatever. I mean, at this point I wouldn't even recommend a pet.

        You need to learn how to be around people and A.A is a good place to do that. And...if you're a drunkard like me, then all the better.

        I understand your feeling, I really do, as I have felt that way as well. It really is worth it to wait for the right person. You can still pursue dating of course, but don't try to rush into anything and just let it happen naturally. If you want, you can try other avenues like online dating. However, it's not a big deal if you don't meet the love of your life by a certain age, and it will happen when it's meant to. Take it from someone who once made the mistake of rushing into the first relationship I could that it's completely not worth it and will make you much more miserable than being alone will. I'm not saying that's what you're going to do, but it's easy for people who feel very alone and desperately want a relationship to do this. I was once told that things sometimes tend to happen when you're not looking for them, and this might be the case with you.

        Do your best to learn how to find happiness within yourself, as you will never be able to find happiness with another person if you're unable to make yourself happy. It's very hard sometimes, but it will make your life much better and help ensure that your future relationship(s) will be much healthier and have a much better chance of lasting. It's completely natural to want a partner, but they should not be the sole provider of your happiness. In other words, learn to be able to be happy alone first before you seek out a partner. This could be part of why you struggle with dating. It was for me.

        Good luck, I really wish you the best!

    Yep. It's tough to be sexually undesirable. But, you'll get used to the idea of being a solitary person. It might help to aim lower. Women are very selective about boyfriends, but many of them are more open minded about fuck buddies.

    Listen, you get what you expect. It's that simple. As long as you keep expecting that you won't get anybody, you wont. So you need to train your expectation. I would start by expecting things which are more easily evident to happen, rather than a relationship. Once you are in the habit of that you will notice that having a positive expectation about a relationship will increase, and with that also the likelihood for it to happen.

  • ermwhat

    I've been there. It sounds like you have poor self-image/confidence problems. You say you have loads of friends, but the truth is, friends don't always become relationships despite what the movies say. My advice would be to broaden your horizons. Focus your attention instead on what you want to do with your life non-relationship orientated. Where do you want to get in your career? What hobbies have you wanted to start or continue? Focus on those. Become who you want to be, and one day, you may just find someone who slots into that. There is a lot of pressure to find someone and get married and it all has to be done at a certain age, bla bla bla... but we all do things at different stages. Be your own partner. Be your own validation.

    Dude im sure youre cool. Get some hobbies that are more social , go to a gym maybe . Idk 25 is still kinda young to settle down anyway. And maybe theres something to be said about dying alone. My dad died in front of me and my siblings and yeah it sucked for us but it must of sucked for him to just to know we were there . Again idk dont take what i say too seriously . Youre 25 just have some fun man!

  • I feel the same way. Most chicks aren't my type and the ones that are are hard to find. But I'm cool with it because I don't want kids anyway. Grew up in a shitty dysfunctional family and I'll unintentionally fuck their lives up. It would be nice to grow old with someone though. Can't disagree with that.

    I am 26.
    I have a boyfriend.
    We want to marry eachother.
    I still feel lonely sometimes.
    The thing is, you may have a happy life with a wife and kids and grandkids and sunsets and sunny sundays and what not. You are still going to die alone. That is not the problem.
    You do something meaningful with your life if anything matters. 25 anyways is a crazy year. It shall pass. And for chrissake stop comparing your married friends with yourself. No one has to get married just because they are 25. 25 is the new 20 allright. Hell, 30 is the new 20. Anyways, take this as an opportunity to focus on making your career better. What do you think ?

    • That's all I do work eat sleep workout work eat sleep and it all feels empty I live alone and it feels like a prison most of the time. I see how others are happy and they keep telling me that I should find someone and that things would be brighter. My own fucking sister says constantly that if I had a girlfriend then I would be less weird, my father and brothers say that I might be gay they say they are joking but I doubt it and it's pissing me off. I get what your trying to tell me and I get it I'm not looking for the perfect relationship I just want a relationship so I don't feel out of place and constantly depressed it may not fix it but at least I could have someone there for me.

        You have to know this.
        You. Don't. Have. To. Be. With. Someone.
        Because someone has to tell you that your friends that have girlfriends/wives are not any less miserable than you are.
        You will mess things up and find yourself in a much worse condition because you were so much quick to get into some relationship that now you don't know what to do about it.
        What is worse than not being married ? Yes, it's getting a divorce.
        Really, another person is not supposed to make you feel less lonely. That is not a reason to be with anyone. Have you thought of cutting short of relationships that are not good for you instead ?
        You sister and your dad. Stop meeting them often. They don't seem like a supportive family.
        Confront them.
        I think your problem does not lie in the fact that you are alone at 25. It could be your unsupportive family and friends. You keep distance.

        • I have thought about it like that yes but my family means well....most of the time I don't just want to cut them off I could do that with friends and my friends as far as I know haven't been assholes like my family members have, I know that relationships are not the sole reason for living like I said to a few other posters I'm not just looking for sex and I understand that a majority of relationships aren't perfect like I said I was in one and it ended horribly, I am just sick of coming home to a empty house all the time I will be honest with you I have started talking to myself and it's not healthy I'm even starting to see things that aren't there. I honestly can't take being alone some people are able to handle it better then others but I don't think I am able to.

    I am no stranger to the feelings you have described, but the thought of dying alone doesn't frighten me too much. I think I have somewhat accepted it. I feel that it's better than to be with the wrong person. What's worse than being alone is being with people who make me feel alone.
