Fear Of Eternal Aloneness

Here’s an exercise I did to spur me on to push through my fear of introducing myself to beautiful strangers. I imagined how my life might be if I cannot overcome that anxiety. What I saw, I did not like:
• See the hellish flames of aloneness creep closer each time I do less than is possible to secure a mate.
• Fearful outcomes include the trepidation of spending another holiday without the family and without my sweetie.
• Attending parents’ funeral alone.
• I’ll never get to slip a large diamond on the ring finger of my beloved.
• I’ll lose my health before enjoying a few painless years with her.
• My most cherished dreams will have gone unfulfilled when I die.
• Being dubbed “The poor, lonely bachelor,” more than “the horny man who comes on to everyone.”
• I have no chance at fulfillment unless I find her.
• I fear not making my interest known, but rather that I won’t find someone who feels the same about me.

Now, do I want all of this to come to pass? Of course not. So put that fear of women aside and get out there and meet some!
