How I did it:    I think about ALL the things that really interest me and realise that ALL these same things do not interest anyone else. Being alone, I do not have any guilt about persuing what interests me, nor about spending the vast majority of my time learning more, participating, and being really active in my chosen field.      Such wonderful freedom is not only possible when alone, it is very rewarding, gratifying, fulfilling, and makes my life worthy of living.   I realise that no one is the same as me and i do not have to change anything about myself to please another - nor is there any need to steer another into something that does not interest or suit them. Incredibly, it is easier to find real and lasting friendships with a like-minded person who shares a specific interest.   When doing something you love, you are never alone for long.  Live and let live!!  :-)

Lessons & tips: Enjoying being of yourself and with yourself is very rewarding. Take the plunge and follow your OWN dreams.
