What do you think is the joy of being alone? Do you fear being single and alone for the rest of your life?

Im not sure whether im going to be alone or married but I think being alone would be lonely kind of life. If ever i remain single then no choice, your uncle is Bob as the idiom say. I have noticed that modern women have stricter requirements with their love of their life and im afraid i do not comply to those. it can be a zigzag trip to stay alone but no worry, every trip has an end.

Yeah, every trip has an end no matter how endless it may seem. It can be real lonely being alone for the rest of your life, but if it's ones choice and he/she's happy with that since we have different preferences then that's alright. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your weekends!

Being alone is not a good idea, like the saying goes, "no man is an island". I don't want to be single for the rest of my life that's why i chose to have a family and i can say that iv'e got a good decision especially when you see your baby, that's the best feeling on earth I swear!

Yeah, it's going to be tough being alone for the rest of you life, not having someone who's always there at your side. However if you have close family ties and have lots of nephews and nieces it couldn't be bad. As you can see them often and be like your own children. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your weekends!

Of course, there is joy of being alone. You can do so many things you'd like to do when you're alone and single. I don't fear being single. To be single and alone for the rest of your life is a choice, it is not a destiny. If you don't want to be alone for the rest of your life, then you have to do something, to find someone you can spend life with. Just be positive always.

i like being alone most of the time. it s quiet and comforting. but there are just people who are meant to be with you for better or worse, family aside. i want to get married someday though. i want to have a family. i dont want to live alone for the rest of my life.

Yeah, in life there is always someone who's meant for you, someone who would stay with you forever however you have a choice to let the person stay or go. There are some single people whom I know who are happy being like that forever, they seem live life with love, they spend their time on giving service to others and loving their family. And I admire them a lot and even wonder on how they could do that way. And the answer lies on loving while living. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your weekends!

For now i like being alone because i can do anything and everything i want without someone telling me not to do this and that. But im still hoping to end up with someone. I want to grow old with someone who can always be there at my side and give me comfort. Its still best if theres someone who will love you for the rest of your life.

Normally in the present society we have to mingle with all the activities friendly and see that our works are completed. But,personally I feel to be alone and this gives me the greatest joy. I feel comfortable & not getting disturbed by any one. I have my good friend my Radio which gives me lot of relief.I feel independent and am able to extract more work.

I suppose there is joy when it comes to being alone too but hey just for a short period of time. What im trying to say is , sometimes you need to be alone for you to think about alot of things around you , evaluate yourself understand whats going on thats when you will find joy when your alone. But when we are talking about long term goals its not possible to be happy or to feel joy when your alone because you need someone to share your life with. Im not just talking about a husband or a wife, maybe a friend a very good one that you can share almost anything ,a soul whom you can share whatever it is that you want. Thats what will give you long term happiness and joy too ;)
