Yes..it can suck but hey..your only 18..have fun. You have plenty of time to fiund that right person for you and believe me it usually doesn't happen over night.
The pain of loneliness is beneficial to our lives. When we learn power over loneliness we can use it to motivate us to seek to share the joy with other people. With the understanding of what is going on in our being, we can either be free of the longing or we can allow it to motivate us.
The discomfort motivates us to seek out the company and experience of others. Yet if we feel trapped in our discomfort or our need for others then we lose the spirit of joy and love. We can be free of loneliness just by sharing the suffering of others. This compassion enriches our life.
Being alone and feeling lonely are too different things. As long as I don’t feel lonely, I do my best to socialize and have a great time. Life is short. All of us are here on borrowed time.
Being single doesn't bother me. I've learned it's not a big red scarlet letter & if oyu try, you can learn to enjoy it. That doesn't mean you have to stay single, but rather you simply learn to be happy while you are. Besides... a happy single guy is much more appealing than a sour unhappy lonely one.
