OMG! It is absolutely WAY better to be alone then to be with the wrong person. I used to struggle with this for years. I finally embraced being by myself (there is a difference between being alone and lonely) several years ago. I actually enjoy it. I would jump from relationship/dating people just so I wouldn’t be alone but I was still lonely. I now enjoy doing things by myself and am getting to know me and what I WANT/NEED…not everyone else… for the first time in life (I am 48.) I’ve also been working on myself for years and go to counseling, read books, blogs…etc. It has not been easy but if you put your mind to it you can get your mind, body, spirit on the right path. Once you do this, the Lord (or higher power you believe in) will send you the person you should be with.
