I have no siblings friends and I'm not married. When my elderly parents pass away I'll be left here in this world all alone. I'm already having panic attacks just imaging it.

Why would you assume being single or without family would make someone lonely? People suck.

Quantum Solace.

But, some people are recharged by friends/family -- others like myself are drained by them.

Find a service you can do for others... grow flowers and give them away to people at your church, or bingo hall, whenever something special happens. Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, graduation, a new kid - any opportunity to give away some flowers to people.

This gives you purpose everyday, growing your orchids that is, and keeping track of a small social circle, keeping their well-being in mind. And you'll continue to provide something positive to whatever 'extended family' you keep in your sphere of influence.

Being alone can be perfect for some people. Families are very hard on the scapegoats.
But if you are having anxiety then you can always got to meetup-dot-com or something like that. Church is a good way to be around people. Go to the bible lesson meetings or RCIA. Be nice to your neighbors.
Stop staring at screens, be still and get in touch with the earth and God. You'll have a good life.

Living alone does NOT mean that you have to be lonely!

I am VERY happy living alone and avoiding people. I love it!

Be lonely is a human weakness. You need to learn to be happy alone.

Cultivate friendships AC and in the meantime appreciate the peace you have been given. Remember it's easy to feel lonely when you're simply just bored to death. Be active even if it's just cleaning your house. Read good books and exercise. Bake bread. Feed the birds.

This is the way I am. It’s not so much that I dislike people, but I don’t think like most of them. It’s not about being smarter or dumber. I just can’t relate. I feel like a fucking alien. There’s no real way I can spin into being a gift. It’s very isolating.

That’s what I thought, but apparently a hallmark of Asperger’s is not getting social cues. I get Smalltalk really well, but I’m still just so different. It can extend further than that.

My grandmother was good at propagating African Violets when they were popular as indoor low light plants

She gave one as a birthday present to each person in her church on their birthday

She lived almost to age 99 - died shortly before and her funeral
Memorial was on her 99th birthday

She had outlived her 5 brothers and sisters and their spouses - her husband and friends - missing them greatly

There were over 100 people at her memorial because she made new friends all her life by giving

She wrote letters and cards to all that would write back all her life too.

She kept others from being lonely

Re: lonely people what is it like to live alone? no family no friends...
People really only maintain friendships for selfish reasons in these times. Women especially collect friendships, they have their car guy, their computer guy, their girlfriend that makes them feel pretty, their girlfriend that makes them feel skinny, their black friend, etc. All the good people are living in isolation and the bad people are looking for favors and to appear interesting on social media. People seem very incomplete and less whole then they did 20 years ago, so I enjoy spending time alone. This world and it's people are either facsimile or humanity has become something less. I don't think it's just me, most people I know have no meaningful friendships outside of a wife/husband.

Re: lonely people what is it like to live alone? no family no friends...
When My EX cheated I literally went crazy and cried for two years straight because the thought of never loving again was killing Me. The tears are starting to dry up after two years and I'm now starting to think clearly and I just want to get on My feet and start a new life. The sad thing is this covid19 bullshit hit so I might never get a life of My own because I was laid off and unemployment runs out next month. If I can pull a magic rabbit out of the hat I'll start over and get My house out in the country and raise chickens and possibly get some horses and spend My days fishing but until then I guess I have to just suck it up. It would be nice to share that dream with someone but women today are so fucked up that its hard to give Your heart to anyone knowing down the road they can take You to the cleaners and at My age I can't afford another divorce.
