How to not feel lonely when you are single

Living Positive in a single life
Pamela Hicks

It is hard to stay happy all the time when you are a single person. You go to work, go home, eat and go to bed.

Living a single life isn't all that bad, it is what you make of it. For me, I happen to be living with friends who push me to accomplish my dreams. It wasn't always like that. I have lived by myself all I did was work and go . I started working out and go for runs and yes... I even took myself out to eat. Yes.. It would get lonely doing things by myself but when you become happy with yourself, being around family and friends notice you may be happy with yourself as well.

Okay,, How do Single people do it? It isn't always easy.

Make a goal for yourself. What do you want out of life? Do you want a career?

Find a Hobby you enjoy like painting, being in theater, writing, reading, going to church events, etc...

Usually you can meet people when you leave the house and socialize but not everyone is comfortable with that. So,, What do you do? Enjoy your hobbies, set up a dating site if you want to meet your special someone.

Once you have set your goals and are going for them and staying busy with your life you will notice how much happier you are with your own life.

Keep in contact with your family and friends!! Very Important! Especially if you have family and friends who support you in everything you do.

Staying Active as in hobbies, sports, working out also helps you stay positive in a single life. Go for a small walk and enjoy the fresh air, you will notice a difference in your attitude in yourself.Go on adventures by yourself but if you do tell at least one person where you are going just in case something may happen to you.

Be aware of your surroundings at all times when you are alone.

Eating healthy.. I may not always eat healthy but I do try.. Does that Count?

Put that music you love so much on and dance in the living room. Once you find your happiness you will start feeling better about yourself and then when you find your special someone they will realize you enjoy life and they will do the same.

Surround yourself with positive people who want to smile and laugh at the silliest things in life. It is the smallest things life that really matter such as sending someone you love or miss a text or give them a call to tell them you miss them or love them.

I have been single for over two years and I am happier now than I have been in such a long time. I am focusing on my goals and dreams in my life, dance to the music, I had even moved to another state where there are much more opportunities in a diifferent state. It was a huge step for me but I am definetly loving it.

Enjoy every moment while you can!

Being single does get lonely at times but I don't have anybody telling me what to do or how to do it. You have to make yourself happy before making anyone else come into your life.

I wasn't ready for someone to come into my life and I met a wonderful, caring girl in another state via facebook and honestly didn't think we would ever meet so I friend zoned her. Once I moved of course and by the time I was ready to settling down she had found someone. Now we hardly talk and I miss her. She was also married at the time we started talking and I didn't want to be the one to cause a divorce so I had backed off as well.

Like I said being single gets a little lonely but if you keep yourself busy enough and find what makes you happy you will be okay. Sooner or Later someone will come into your life and sweep you off your feet. In the meantime enjoy your single life!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
