Is it normal to want to be #1 to someone?

The other day I came across this quote: "Real loneliness is to be #1 to no-one." I then realised that I myself AM #1 to no-one. Sure, I have friends (not many though), but I don't think I'm #1 to any of em, since they all got girlfriends, and I don't. Anyway, my question is: How can I best be #1 to someone?

    I think that is a silly quote. Just because you are not #1 does not mean you are not important to that person. Any degree of friendship/compassion/empathy should be cherished. Going through life wanting to be #1 to some-one is kind-of selfish in my opinion.

    I bet 99% of you are #1 to your mothers!!

    Why does it always have to be to a stranger? Are your family not much more important? Those that have taken the time to raise, educate and finance you.

    One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do. Two can be as bad as one. It's the loneliest number since the number one

    I've come to the realization that I'm not and probably never will be number 1 to anybody or anything! Me and one of my douchebag, so called friends (who I actually thought was my only true friend) aren't even speaking right now, because he came right out and told me last night that he uses me for attention and as someone to tell his problems to, because apparently I'm the only one who listens to him!!!! I feel so crummy inside over this. What a straight up dick!

    So... you know who you can and should be number one to? Yourself. Nobody but yourself. It really works out great when you think about it. Nobody else to worry about, but your own ass. And tell those people who won't accept you as their number one to fuck a duck and die!! I apologize if it sounds as though I'm attacking you in this comment or if I've offended anybody. Its just a touchy subject, especially right now.

  • Why are you deciding who is number 1 to them? Some people value others for their own unique qualities and would not be able to decide which person is number 1 because each person offers something to them that is wonderful and different.
