Fear of being alone

I often feel really scared and uncomfortable about being alone, I don't know why but I have to have a friend or someone with me all the time (apart from when I go to sleep in case anyone was going to point that out :colonhash:) or I start feeling really weird and kind of scared.

Does anyone else get this, and do you know any ways to deal with it?

Sounds a bit disconcerting, it might be worth speaking to a specialist about this?

Or just finding a really clingy girlfriend :ahee:

You'll atleast not be alone.

In other news, do you not have family around you?

Solution: party all night every night with friends
I actually quite enjoy time alone as you can reflect on your current situation and don't have to feel the pressures of society.
One of my friends in secondary school was like this too. It must be exhausting having to be surrounded by people all the time, but if it's really that bad maybe you need to see a specialist?

I do, but my family aren't with me all the time.

I do have God in my life, I am a practicing Muslim, but that doesn't really help. It's more of a physical thing than religious or spiritual.

Oh i see. Sorry can't really help as i'm an introvert and quite like my alone time. I think you are an extrovert :smile:

I don't really feel the need to be surrounded by people, even one close friend is enough, but I would prefer it in a group TBH

How did that guy deal with it?

I don't think he did. He simply went off to Uni and carried on being surrounded by people :s-smilie:

Yeah, I probably am an introvert but the thing is that I don't want to be introverted, it's just the way I am. Is there anything I could do to change this (bearing in mind I am pretty socially awkward as well so that doesn't really help :frown:)

Sorry i meant extrovert! :tongue:

Extroverts like being around others the most and so maybe you could be one.

No prob, I respect the fact that some people choose not to believe in God and that doesn't really bother me since your choices are up to you

Any serious advice?

Fair play.

On a serious note stop worrying, the time will come. In the mean time just try to stop worrying about it, definitely always someone out there.

I am literally the opposite, I sometimes wish people would just bugger off hehheh. I am my own best company. I think my ex must have had the same problem though come to think of it...

My sleeping pattern is fine. It's not the relaxing that I have a problem with.
