Better to be alone than be betrayed by someone you trusted. Loss is a different thing. Somewhere out there is a friend for you. Start by being your own best friend. ~ Sue Howard
Everything that happens is a consequence of choice. There is nothing worse than realizing or feeling that you are completely alone in this world that no one understands or has experienced what you are going through. The fact is, that is your wake up call, that is God’s way of saying, “Look to me, I am here. I have your best interests at heart and I will never fail you. Look to God and learn how to truly love and care for yourself and you will never have to suffer those feelings again. Become your own best friend and realize that you are never alone when you welcome God’s presence into your life. ~ David Kemp
Do not rely too much on friends because in the end you’ll always end up all alone (true story). Have faith in yourself when you are going through tough times. Most importantly, surround yourself with people who really appreciate you, love you and respect you. I don’t really mind if I do not have so many friends, as long as I have my family by my side. ~ Lorant Vaida
The ones I have given the most to in life have left me alone and some even created the storms for the purpose of seeking something for themselves. Some have watched and left after even abuse. But, most who have done so have been unconscious of their behavior. It takes a lot of living to evolve to overcome fears and stay with someone in the stormy weather. The storms have brought me the most evolved people, strangers, teachers so to speak. Still, they have their own lives and I still have faced sickness, surgery, holidays, loss, and even abuse alone. Something tells me that is how it works when we are here to grow. It is in the struggle that we grow. Gentle hugs to all the people commenting below who have hurt to contend with. Don’t give up on people. Yes, learn how to be alone, but do so with loving detachment from expectations from others. ~ Edie Ware
Once saved, we become a servant to the most high. People are put on our path sometimes as a test. When we have been blessed, and see those around us trying, but still struggling and we fail to help, I truly believe we ourselves miss a blessing, and fail to show the love of God. We are to be a witness. Our increase is to be a blessing to someone. Today, many of us suffer because of the selfishness of this world. We are not meant to be alone, we cannot allow the evil one to prevail. Lean on God! He will show you the way! ~ Angela Newlin
