it has just occured to me that i am afraid of being lonely and alone.... is this normal?

according to Maslov's pyramid of needs, it's one of the needs to to want to feel wanted, to feel loved, and to fit in. so it's natural. nothing wrong with it.

Yes it is normal hun. I feel that way at times too. Don't worry everything will work out just fine.

i have friends i fit in i am loved yet i still am terrified of being lonly... the feeling kills me

we've all felt that at some time...don't worry, usually you're just being too paranoid, they're your friends, they won't abandon you. if they do then big deal, there are plenty of great people out there to be friends with

Everyone feels like that sometimes..at least I do...

dont worry, it's normal. everyone feels that way in their middle and high school years.

I fear being alone too. It's normal and everyone will fear it sometimes.

Agree with everyone else. It's normal. If loneliness and fear didn't exist, then probably every single person on earth would be genuinely happy.

everyone needs some time to themselves. If they were always with other people, theyd get annoyed

I remember learning the heirchy of needs.. although it's natural, I'm not really concerned of ending up alone.. it's nothing to worry about, everyone has doubts about where they are going to end up, this being no different.

lol I love how you brought him up.

i agree, its normal. i feel like that at times too, so try not to worry too much about it.

its fine dont stress but it wouldnt hurt to be independent once in a while

don't worry about it, tha'ts completely normal. I don't really fear beign alone cause I have a great family and two wonderful brothers so even if all my freinds suddenly get up and run than I'll still have my big brothers to comfort me

as for ending up unloved and unmarried..well, I gotta admit tha'ts crossed my mind, but I know my freind has an uncle who isn't married and he just lives with them and treats her like his own daughter and they get along really well and he's not lonely so even if I did end up unmarried I'm sure I won't be unloved

I hated being alone, so I got together with this girl and ended up being with her for 8 months. Then everything went to sh*t, and it was the worst 8 months of my life.. so, I guess I would have rather stayed alone and had my friends.

its natural. we all dont wanna b alone. but sometimes its a good thing. u dont have limits wen ur with someone. u can do watever u want. n even i have an aunt who didnt get married. two actually. they turned out fine. there are reasons y things happen to u. just wait n see wat it is. dont stress over it. everything will b ok.

You're not alone. I feel the same way. If I'm home alone, I usually call someone on the phone or invite a few friends over. O_O

i guesh its normal.. no1 wants to be alone in this world.. yet .. it doesnt mean that u shud be going out wid a lot of guys/girls after a break up...

But if u dont want to be lonely.. go find frenz, get a hobby to find new frenz... =D

HoPe tHaT hELpz..

nah that happens to me all the time. dont worry =]

Well I am scared of being lonley too...but you just have to rememeber...not matter what, You will never be alone in the world

dear, your going to be just fine. a lot of times i feel lonely, and yet i have many friends. its just somthing you feel right now. dont worry, its's just a feeling, and the feeling will eventually pass. just stay strong, and surround yourself is positivity, smile

get a pet!

lol... itz ok, u just need some love in your life

like someone said, u feel like that once in a while..

I feel like that sometimes, especially when it comes to like my 'husband' or something since my mum met my dad when she was 19, thats only jst over 2 years for me That's a scary thought. Lol.

Human beings are social characters so they will have the need to be with someone, mostly someone who will show them love and affectionate towards them.

of course its normal [=

its normal i think.. but not to think it all the time.. i feel lonely when all my friends are hanging out with their boyfriend/girlfriend... but the feeling slowly goes away when i realize i like being single for now

most likely yes. alot of people have that phobia where they are afraid of being anlone. i honestly don't know how to get over it. i guess try to get to meet someone.

Theres a differnce. You can always feel alone, but you are never lonely. I feel alone sometimes too. Its natural. We all need attention in our lives. But you know, sometimes when you are not alone anymore, you're gona wish you was alone.

its fine i get those feelings sometimes too its normal

in my case for mme i felt love once and when it left i feel so loney and when i think about it , it hurts if this is what your feeling just dont think about it too much and hang out with your friends alot haha thats what friends are for so just cheer up and you will be fine,, that one person will come into your life soon just have patients


.:tony:.

Totally normal. Don't worry about it.
I feel that way too.
How could we all think the feeling of happy and close is a great feeling, when no one has felt how lonely feels. (if that made sense. lol)

Isn't it strange to be in a crowded area and yet feel alone, yeah it's normal, even if you have someone special, even if you have like a million friends, for some reason, you'll still feel lonely at some point and time.

of couse that is it's definitly mine soooo yea it's normal

this is an old topic...i mean...does the person who started this topic still looking at it? but yea...we're all afraid to be alone. dont worry about it.
