Well I'm not completely alone since I live with my immediate family. I have my pets to keep me company too. But things will inevitably change and in the future I may end up completely on my own. The thought is frightening especially since I depend on others to get things done for me, things which involve social interaction.
I do feel lonely and hope to find a friend or a soulmate, but I'm too cowardly to make it happen. I feel too shy to make it known that I want someone in my life. Imagine actually telling someone that I like them or would like to be friends. I'm just too chicken to even consider it. I can see a future with me wondering what could have been if only I spoke up. But I'm trying to see the positives, since being on your own does have a few advantages.
