Many are worried about staying single for too long after a breakup, perhaps never being in a long-term relationship, or having no friends available to go for a pint with on a Friday evening. We have this issue rooted in our society that we feel less of a person if we don't have a partner or that one friend who is always just one call away. But that’s so, so far away from the truth.

There are many alone quotes in English. Our favorite one, attributed to Buddha, goes, “No one saves us but ourselves.” Society still believes that everyone must find their “other half” to attain that fulfillment in life and be happy. But we don't need someone to make us happy. We shouldn’t wait for someone to fill our hearts’ void. Finding Mr. or Ms. Right won't make the sky puke rainbows if you aren't at peace with yourself and who you are.

The special someone should add to your happiness, not be your happiness. Being-alone quotes aren't meant to feed your sadness and loneliness or provide empathy. Instead, quotes about being alone should work as a reminder and a stimulus that you (yes, you) are all you really need. Hence, you won't find it here if you are looking for sad alone quotes or quotes about being lonely and how awful it is. You will find better. In this post, we want to emphasize the blessing in disguise that being alone and content with yourself is.

Comment from Dr. Sarah Meehan O’Callaghan

Why is being alone so potentially challenging? Human beings are social creatures who need each other to survive, so we shouldn’t be hard on ourselves if being alone doesn’t come easily. However, there are extremes of avoidance which need to be paid attention to.
