Whats the worst part of being alone?

the worst part for me is there’s no one to bounce off reality checks. my partner usually can tell when i’m hearing things or seeing things and she can tell me if they are real or not.
another thing is my imagination runs wild. I jump at every sudden sounds that’s why I prefer my ear phones

Yeah very similar for me. I don’t have anyone to anchor me in reality. I may not need to socialize much anymore but I do still need to, and when I don’t I tend to drift further away from the outside world.

Also feeling like there is no help for you is pretty bad too, like you are fighting a war all by yourself.

Being alone is hard all the time, no one to share with, help with decisions, it goes on and on

I am alone too most of the time but I guess I like it. Not sure if it is a good sign.

I am waiting till September - beginning of winter to see if I can go through another winter living like this.

Its ok to talk to yourself? As long as you dont answer your self

I hear that sometimes from people as a joke but what if you do start answering yourself? is it a sign of lunacy?

I talk to myself and have debates and hours of conversations =)

yeah I’ve done that and usually someone hears me next door and comes over and to see who I am arguing with.

The worst part of being alone to me is going unnoticed.

I live alone but I have family and friends close by. If I slip in the bath and break my neck no-one will find me for days or weeks though. But I prefer living alone for now.

I’m alone all of the time and I don’t mind it at all. I have my friends that I call on the phone and they sometimes call me. I have my acquaintances here at the assisted living center where I live that I associate with sometimes and that keeps me company too. But, mostly I have my interests at home that keep me very busy and occupied all of the time. I’m never for want of things to do. I’m very happy living this way.

Lack of oxytocin and whatnot. Lose sense that I exist.

being alone is much better than being with toxic partner. even sex isnt worth it
but still… i dont feel alone because i have friends, but noone to cuddle with and no kisses and feeling of being unnecessary and unacractive and like ■■■■. maybe because im kind of attention-needer, if im not noticed i feel like im disappearing.
but once again - better this than toxic.

"Whats the worst part of being alone?"
when someone hurts you, you have nobody to share the experience with. that alone is enough to end a person’s life, sometimes. it’s no surprise that some loners are incredibly strong men.
