A source -

Here, first you need to clarify what the author means by loneliness.

If complete isolation, direct physical - when there is not a soul around, then, most likely, sooner or later - depending on all the given circumstances of such isolation and the character and inclinations of the person himself, he will move a little with his mind - well, at least as above noticed that a person is a social being, and this will cause significant harm to the psyche. There are, of course, extraordinary cases, such as hermit monks or insanely enthusiastic scientists, for whom there is nothing but the subject of study (a la Perelman; although, strictly speaking, they are not isolated, they do not live on desert island and they also have some kind of everyday social contacts), but for that they are extraordinary, it hardly makes sense to compare them with ordinary people.

If it is precisely the feeling of loneliness that is meant - and it does not matter how many acquaintances and friends a person has, the main thing is that he is experiencing an oppressively heavy feeling of loneliness - then this is very difficult and has a very destructive effect on the human psyche, and the person as a whole, does his unhappy. You can live like this, there are enough examples, but life is mostly bitter.

If we are talking about formal loneliness - when a person is such a me-in-my-own-giraffe, then with a certain level of self-sufficiency and character warehouse, this is completely normal. Sometimes such a person may have little social contacts, and another can populate with his friends and comrades some small European country, this is not the point, it is important that he is fundamentally lonely, he has no close ties, no special attachments, and this does not bother him or upset him at all. If we talk about such loneliness, then a person can live like this all his life and not experience discomfort, moreover, often the discomfort he just delivers the need to get out of this lonely state, if this suddenly arises.

If we are talking about loneliness in terms of relationships with the opposite (well, or your own, depending on orientation) sex, then everything is more complicated than in the previous paragraph, due to several factors at once: physiological attraction (many deceive themselves and confuse it with desire to be with someone; a small percentage of the population does not have it, however, this item does not apply to them), traditions (relationships and family are taken for granted, like children at 6-7 years old go to school, and in winter they celebrate New Year), public pressure - both direct ("all your classmates are already married!", "When will you bring us a bride?"), and indirect (relationships, weddings, children - all this is positioned as some kind of achievement, a necessary achievement, without which you're almost inferior). But in general, if a person really does not have any desire to start a relationship (many create the appearance that he is not due to the fact that it does not work out, well, this, in general, also applies to the previous point with communication and friends) and he has a strong enough willpower and independence from other people's opinions, then he can quite calmly live his whole life alone (the law is not prohibited, 95% safe .. well, okay, this is already subjectivism).

I go to the cinema alone. I visit museums alone. Eating dinner alone (and yes, I gave up the temptation to scroll through Instagram while waiting for my order). I'm sitting alone in a coffee shop and leafing through a magazine. One I take a train ticket and go to new town where I walk in all alone.

I understand that this may seem very strange. You probably think that I am a cute freak and very lonely. It's funny, but I was a lot more lonely before I started spending time on my own. The constant feeling that I am not at ease, and the feeling that I need people around me like air - that was loneliness. The feeling of constant anxiety and the fear that the guy will leave me - this is loneliness. And spending time alone is peace of mind. It is interesting. And it boosts. And now I will tell you how I learned to spend time alone.

1. Just do it. And don't try to look cool

Everyone is tired of the Nike cliché, but still Just do it. Since this all started. How embarrassing it was for the first time to go to the cinema alone and sit there with a backpack in the next chair, pretending in front of other cinema visitors that the guy had left for drinks and was about to return. This feeling will pass, as will the fear of people who supposedly think something about why you are spending time alone.

Don't try to be cool in the eyes of others. Most likely, you will never meet these strangers again in your life, and they will discuss the film, not you.

2. Make your list of favorite things. And don't wait for anyone

I realized that I should be alone when things appeared that I would like to do, but friends that could keep me company were always busy or had other plans.

If your favorite band is going to play the only show in town and none of your friends can go, don't waste the opportunity to make your dream come true. You can eternally wait for others to be free, and eventually realize that the moment is missed. Plus, scheduling something for yourself doesn't require exchanging a bunch of messages and stupid ones.

So take a piece of paper and write down every thing you love and what you would like to do but never did because there was no one around. Now this excuse is not accepted.

3. Make a schedule. Don't cancel plans

Once a week I include in my schedule an evening that I will spend alone. This means that I will go to the movies alone or lie in my pajamas and watch "Sex in big city". The line in the schedule serves as a written confirmation that I should please myself, and will help me not to change my plans if something unexpected happens. I do not want to refuse friends, but now I am learning to be a friend to myself.

It’s a great relief - one evening devoted exclusively to yourself, when you don’t have to worry about whether all your friends have the same plans, when you don’t need to leave the house, if you want to lie on the couch. I spend time with myself and do what I do. No stress. No difficult decisions... It's easy and feasible. And most importantly, this is a chance to become honest with myself: to decide what I really want and what is easier said than done.

In the past year, I became lonely on their own... Not because of the circumstances. Not because no one wanted to communicate with me or I could not find a suitable companion.

Many people find it hard to believe that I refuse to date. And often I look weird in the eyes of my grumpy old aunt or college friends.

Why do some people choose to be lonely of their own accord? To spend time alone? Am I losing an important part of my life if I don't meet on Tinder and don't go on dates? What if the only one walked by, and I didn't notice, because I was too busy with myself?

I'm not ashamed of my loneliness to proclaim loudly that dating myself was the most stable, unsettled, relaxing relationship imaginable. There is no need to wait for a response to a message (or agonize, thinking if my message was too flirtatious, too demanding, too wordy), and I never even thought that another person might misunderstand me.

This does not mean that I am not going to meet other people in the future - I definitely will. But now I know for sure that the relationship that I managed to build with myself is the relationship that I would like with another person. I am kind, patient, affectionate. I laugh at my mistakes and forgive myself for my wrongdoing. With such a person, I would like to be near and, I hope, I will.

In our world, the number of single women is increasing every year. And not because the number worthy men is shrinking. Of course, this has an impact, but there are other reasons why women are left alone. We'll cover them in this article too. The most important things to understand in this article are: how to live alone for a woman?

There is an opinion that a woman cannot be happy without a man. In reality, this is not the case. It all depends on the woman herself, on her values. If the main value is great and a happy family, then without a man and children, she will be unhappy. If a career is successful, it will happy woman... Therefore, women can live without men.

But deep down, they will always miss something. Nature dictates its own rules, and it is unlikely that it will be possible to completely overcome innate instincts. It works for single women maternal instinct... By the age of 16, many girls start dating guys, and in their student years they get married and have children. But for some reason there are always those girls who, despite their external data, manage to remain lonely.

The reasons for loneliness

The reason for loneliness may be that the girl is too picky about the choice of her man. She is overpriced, and she harshly touches her chosen ones. Some she doesn't notice at all. As they say: "He doesn't see the forest in the forest"... Usually, such women are successful in their careers and very beautiful in appearance. They are looking for their eagle, but they could get by with a sparrow. It's up to them to decide.

Other women remain single for the opposite reason. They are convinced that they are unattractive to men, so they are afraid to take any steps. I hasten to please such women, it's not about looks. You can be terribly ugly and still have your own prince. I have met such women everywhere. You look at her and wonder how she managed to fool such a good guy?

While communicating with such women, I observed openness and cheerfulness. Such qualities. And here's the arrogance and facial expression: "You are not worthy of me" repel men. Therefore, you need to work a lot on yourself. The stupidest thing a woman can do is do nothing, be squeezed and cry into her pillow at night. You need to constantly evolve.

Bad experiences with men are another reason why many women are afraid of new relationships. Almost everyone experiences negative experience, and then he has a choice, either to do nothing, or to take risks. Those who choose to do nothing end up lonely. Of course, they may be lucky, but this is already a matter of chance. Those girls who still take risks, despite the sad experience, win. Yes, they can burn themselves again, however, if a person is ready in advance for defeat, severe pain will not be.

If a person is hit in the stomach unexpectedly, they will bend and fall. He was not ready to strike. But if he knows in advance that he can be hit in the stomach, he will strain him, and when the blow is done, it will not hurt. He who is forewarned is armed. Therefore, it is better to act (take risks) than to be inactive and complain about fate.

And yet how to live alone? A single woman can write out all the pros and cons, but even if there are more pros, instincts will still make themselves felt. The desire to have a beloved family, to be loved and happy can make these pluses invisible. Therefore, I am not suggesting a woman to live alone. I suggest such ladies start looking for their happiness.

If desire is stronger than fear, then the result will be. If fears outweigh the scales, then there will be only inaction. It is necessary to strengthen the desire to find your happiness. To do this, it is better to write down 101 reasons why you should start doing something to achieve your goals, and cross out a million excuses why you should do nothing.

If a woman constantly does not develop relationships with men, then she should definitely think about it. If men leave her life, it is necessary to understand why they do this. The most stupid action in a person's life is to step on the same rake. Perhaps they did not like the behavior, or something was missing in the relationship. All this needs to be disassembled and realized. That is, work on yourself should last a lifetime. Your behavior and attitude must be constantly corrected.

For example, men may leave a woman because she is too jealous or touchy. If men tell her about it, they say: "I'm tired of your interrogations" or "We have no sex", then, as a rule, a woman is unlikely to perceive it adequately. She will begin to answer, and here you are. In fact, these comments need to be accepted. If men leave because of jealousy, then it is important to learn to trust the man and not to arrange interrogations. Etc. Correcting bugs is very important.

There are women who like to live alone. There are not so many of them, but they are still there. They just like to spend their time the way they want it. No one will blame her if she came home late at night, or flirted with another guy, didn't clean the house, and so on. Some ladies are quite happy with such a life. What am I doing this for?

I am not saying that now you need to look for the advantages of such a life. There may be many of them, but they will not comfort you. I myself am now single, have a lot of free time, no obligations, etc. etc., but, nevertheless, I want to. Instincts make themselves felt, and all these pluses do not comfort me. If the advantages of your lonely wandering also do not suit you, take action. Only in this way are you.

How to live alone for a woman? No way. You need to get rid of loneliness. And now everything is in your hands. I have already told you what to do and how to behave. Most importantly, react calmly to failure. They will definitely be there. Your task is to analyze the situation every time, and work on mistakes. Don't step on the same rake. Change, experiment, draw conclusions. And then the question of loneliness will be just a matter of time. I wish you all the best.
