Afraid of Ending Up Alone? Make Sure You Don't

Aren’t you afraid you are going to end up alone?

If you are single, deep down you may well be afraid you will never meet the one you can build a rich relationship with, and that you will end up alone. If you are in a relationship, deep down you probably wonder if your relationship will fall apart, or if somehow you will lose your partner and will end up alone.

What have you done to keep yourself safe from that aloneness? Many people get into relationships they would not choose if they were not afraid of being alone. Many people put up with behavior from their partner they would not put up with from anyone else, for fear of being alone.

Here is a tip – deal with the fear by dealing with the fear. In other words, don’t do something that you think will help you not be alone. Instead directly deal with your feelings of fear. Here is how:

1. Face the feelings.
Conjure up the worst possible scenario you are afraid of and face it as if it were true. Grieve over it. Cry over it. Be angry over it. The more fully you face it the more freedom from the fear you will achieve. Don’t skip this step.

2. Get to an emotional place where you know that you will be ok.
Bring yourself to the point where you know that even if you were to be alone for a time you would be ok. In fact, you can be alone for a time and be just fine. You can be happy and thriving. You do not need a relationship to save you from aloneness. Find a way to fully believe this.

3. Ask yourself if you are really meant to be alone.
Ask to know the truth. Then listen. Be careful that you are not listening to your fear yet again, but that you are listening to the actual truth inside yourself. For almost everyone, the truth is that they are not meant to be alone.

You are not meant to be alone. If you were meant to be alone, you would not be so afraid of being alone. Aloneness would be easier to accept. The truth is that you are meant to be connected, to be loved, and to love.

4. Now work with your mind.
Learn to dwell on the fact that you are meant to be connected rather than dwelling on the fear of being alone. Then work with your mind on believing that you will be connected and loved.

Quell your fear of being alone and you will find yourself making better dating choices if you are single, and making better behavioral choices if you are in a relationship. You won’t be doing things to make sure you don’t end up alone. You will instead be doing things to make sure you end up connected and loved.
