Is it normal to be alone?

Recently I have noticed I am actually quiet alone. My family I live with go out a lot after work and I don't have many friends who live close by me or that are willing to hang out with me because they have boyfriends and their own troubles. I have recently noticed that I am also getting jealous and lonely without being in a relationship. But I dont know if Im just being stupid or if it's unhealthy to be alone.

    Everyone goes through times in their lives that force them to be alone, sometimes more alone than they'd like. You aren't being stupid. On the contrary, I think you're being wise in realizing that being alone and loneliness are not the same thing. It's also very self-aware of you to acknowledge that loneliness is starting to get to you a bit.

    Do you have other ways in which you could be around new people -- taking classes, getting a job, going to the gym, something like that? Doing things you care for can also help. If you write, paint or play music, you might come to relish your solitude.

    Good luck. You sound like someone well worth knowing, so I predict you won't be alone long unless you like your "me time." :)

    It's good that you know what's bringing you down. Can you go out with any of your family sometimes?
    Try getting a part time job, you will meet people there and it will give you something to take up some time.
