Anyone realize that they are meant to be single and alone for the rest of their life? How do you cope with the loneliness?

If you’re meant to be alone, you don’t actually feel lonely.

Lonely happens when you artificially close yourself off; because you don’t want to put yourself out there and want to be insulated from the various hurts that could happen.

100% this^

If you feel lonely all the time when you are alone, you aren't meant to be alone.

I fairly certain I'm meant to be alone and single
0 friends and very little social interaction

Feel fine and love the flexibility to live life on my whims

Still feel lonely on occasions when my mind wanders into hypothetical what if sceanrios but otherwise fine.

I feel like we legit need a community for this. I’ve seen a lot of consultants complain about this. I think it comes with the work and types of personality.

If you're still on social media, I strongly suggest you get off of it. It makes us compare our lives to others and makes us unhappier. Try it for a bit!

🙋‍♀️ you chose to be lonely and will get to a point to accept your loneliness. 39 F.
I had heart breaking relationships after another. Each recovery took me 2+ yrs. I got to a point that I didn't fall for a man, didnt trust men, and didnt think that a man's arm would be my peace. Period. As you age, your choices shrink, and chance of running into failed guys increases.
So, u accept to live lonely. This is sad. But I got hear by making bad choices in life

uplifting

Thanks BCG1. I'm super independent 😁

I have a wife and 3 kids. Alone time is welcome!

I honestly think people (myself included) tend to focus inwardly waaayyy too much; the more you give and get out of self interest, the more you may interest others

You need to find Sima Aunty...

I’m basically doing the same role the VP did before me (brand, campaigns, strategy, design, web, content all under me).

I was offered NO pay bump with the additional responsibility and NO title change. My base is 200k… and my highest paid direct makes 180k for doing about 1/2 the work. I get no equity because we’re private.

I work for a very profitable tech company. Is this fair?
