There are times when many people you believed would always be there for you would disappear. People will disappoint you over and over again no matter how good you are. As they begin new relationships, they end old ones. Some will end well while some will end with pain. Most of these relationships will affect your life for as long as you live. What do you do when this happens? How do you pull yourself together and move on when those closest to you betray you after you've revealed your deepest emotions to them. Few things are more painful than opening your heart to someone and having them betray you. It's easy to feel alone when these things happen, but if you accept who you are and learn to love yourself, no relationship will break you or make you feel alone. This doesn't mean betrayals wouldn't hurt you, but you'll be able to brush your chin and view it as a new chapter in your life. You need to realize that it's okay to be alone. You don't need to build your world around your social circle to feel fulfilled. When you do this, you'll feel alone when people fail you. But if you build your world around yourself and let people in when you want, you'll still be fine when they leave you. If you find it difficult enjoying your own company, try to develop the habit now. When you love and accept yourself, you'll never feel alone. You need to find your way back when you lose yourself. You don't need to depend on others to find yourself. When you are faced with a challenge, your first thought should not be to contact a dear friend. Consider taking a walk in the park or driving around a safe zone. Before you get back home, you would have figured out the next step to take and how to improve your situation.
Get lost, and find your way back without help from anyone. Trust in yourself, believe in yourself, and never make others solely responsible for your happiness. Your family and friends are only guests in your world. You have the master key to your life. They can influence your life one way or the other, but they should never be allowed to control your life fully.
To accept who you are, you need to define your life. Set clear and affirmative goals, set intentions, write them down, give yourself credit when you achieve them, and when your plan fails, change the plan but don't ever change the goal. Engage in self-empowering activities, get a gym membership and start a fitness plan that suits your needs, or learn a skill. The idea is to build a world around you that you are comfortable living in. That way, you'll never feel alone. Feelings of loneliness are bound to come from time to time, but if you are comfortable in your skin, you'll be able to ward these feelings off in no time. Push yourself forward one step at a time. Eventually, you'll become so confident in yourself that you would always be happy and fulfilled no matter what you go through.
