One thing I fail to understand about others is how they constantly can be or need to be with someone or in the presence of others. If there is anything I have learned in this life it's that no one, no matter how hard you try to make them, can complete you or make you feel more fufilled than you can yourself. Constantly seeking the love and attention of others will only make you feel drained and untimately unsatisfied.
You MUST be able to deal with yourself when no one is around. There is no way around it. Learn to love yourself. Stand in front of the mirror every day and tell yourself one good thing about you, even if you don't think there is one, damnit, find one. Spend one day alone. Go on a walk by yourself, go get a manicure by yourself, go shopping by yourself, go eat lunch by yourself, just get comfortable being alone. And no, people who are alone are not weird or strange, its called being self confident and knowing who you are. If you cannot be comfortable with yourself, odds are others will follow in your footsteps.
Be okay with being alone, just never settle for being lonely.
