I stay alone and I have never been lonely. Maybe it's because I love my own space. I really don't like that clinginess nature. That's why I find it suffocating when in a relationship. My longest relationship I have had so far lasted 1 and half years.

If I marry today, this is one aspect of me I will like my partner to understand. There are times when I just love being on my own.

I might adjust after I settle down though. But I will still let my partner to give me little space to meditate. Yes of course, I will spend enough time with my partner, but I will still love to have my special room met for only me where I can go to and spend time alone, even if it is 2 to 3 hours.

It's just one's nature.

The reason why you feeling so lonely is because you tied your happiness and good time with spending time with people. Such that, if you don't see people around you, you feel lonely.

But you just have to learn how to find joy in being alone most times. With time, you will grow to get used to yourself.

It's just a mindset.

Everyone gets lonely sometimes, pple are just good at hiding theirs. So you're not alone.
Firstly decorate your living room to a more fun ,jovial ,wonderful and funny kinda looking way .

Whenever u come back from work ,d first tin ur mind subconsciously notices is how fun or not your home is .get u a nice flat screen tv , a.c ,nice wallpaper, fridge with lots of chocolates ,biscuits and drinks ,basically just nice interior decorations ,make ur home smell heaveanly as well.
If u have u have serious kinda looking decorations in your home , omo dats boring enough ,so spice things up wink.

Secondly invite female colleagues from work ,male colleagues as well , at least dat way boredom wouldn't be too much.

I will try to make my space look more beautiful. Thanks. For food, I always stock up food at home.

You’re right. So much freedom. I like the freedom part in the sense that I can wake up and decided to do anything without it affecting any one.
I understand....But it's something you'll have to live with.....

Even myself, sometimes when I feel lonely,I just come online, especially here on nairaland just to while away time...Tho it's never been easy but staying on your own is better off than staying with people who doesn't love you or care about you for real..

If you can afford to take yourself out, being single wouldn't bother you.

To cope with being single, you have to join a physical group (either religious group, societal group, basketball or football) and make friends with alot of people

The only place I think of when it comes to taking my self out is to the restaurant grin. I guess it’s because I like food. I have decided to add going site seeing. At least to cities near to my own city. Thanks for the tip

It's could be boring being alone and single.

I learnt how to prepare different delicacies. So my saturdays were my practical days. I invite my friends over sometimes or share the food with my good neighbor.
On Sundays, I'm involved in alot of activities in the church that extends to mid afternoon. When i get back home I'm preparing for work.

I love movies and watch alot when there's nothing to do or just surfing the internet for gists, gossips and updates.

Nice, maybe I can try this too. Thanks

I am a young lady in my mid 20s. I don’t live with my parents. I live alone because I work in another city different from where my parents live. My problem now is immediately I get back home from work, I begin to feel lonely. Because of this, I like to close late from work just to keep my mind busy. I close early only if I have other errands to run or if I am very tired.

When I get home, I speak with my parents who try their best to keep me company. But there is still lots of time left before I go to bed. In the height of my boredom, I come to nairaland. Then I go to other blogs to read the news. I read all the news blogs I normally follow. I check out my chats on WhatsApp and Telegram. Usually there isn’t anyone chatting with me because everyone is busy with their lives. I go to Youtube which I have become tired of watching. And at some time I’m just bored to my mind. I don’t like to impose myself on anybody and so I only chat with people who come to chat with me including neighbours.

Sometimes I just want someone around that I can talk to but I’m alone by myself. Single people, how do you cope with boredom. I mean single people who are really single not the ones cohabiting or visiting their partners. Some tips will be very helpful right now.

What city you in?
I do movies, music and evening strolls, random hangouts, found a group of people living around my city on Facebook and every once in a while we hangout

You’re right. I like that feeling of someone being around. Even if we aren’t talking but just knowing that I’m sharing the space with someone and hearing sounds others makes gives me some kind of comfort. That is why I stay in the office for as long as I can because most of the time, someone is in the space with me.

It's not easy. Personally, I am a loner, so me being alone is actually a choice. But, sometimes I just want someone around. Really, man/woman was not made to be alone. When I get extremely lonely, I go out to see my friend (good thing traffic isn't crazy in IB, I can reach anywhere quickly). My friend is the opposite of me...he can talk for Africa. Lol. So, the visit is always worth it.

Other times, I call my female friend over. We have fought now... I really miss her, even though she has her own issues, we had great times together... but life goes on.

Other times when I can't get company, I just watch a movie or TV series, or chat with friends on WhatsApp. And there are times I really need that full charge...I just take 4-5 days off and go and see my sister...she has kids I really love spending time with. No dull moment with them. Lol. I can stay charged up for weeks after that vacation.

Boyfriend and girlfriend. Its kills.

Wait till you are ready to marry then pray to God for a direction and your wife to be.

Wait
For God's time.

Fornication and fleshly lust
Remember whosever committed fornication sins against his body and God.

Lastly
Accept Jesus as your lord and savior

I am in the same boat and it's not that easy, companionship can be a blessing and a curse, we can actually put ourselves out there more, it's a choice and mind thing. We can be friends tho, I don't bite
