We all have to cater our personal needs independently always, being a "social animal" we have to seek help, provide cooperation and assistance to others, this may be applicable to a job we do as to make our earnings, and, to satisfy something us!. The simple way of living a good social life is that you cater your needs, your family needs, and then do something good for a human being, or a group of people, who need your help!. When you meet people with an objective to address their requirements and fulfill there needs (to some extent) from within your own resources, you volunteer for your society!. This is the first step that you do not feel yourself lonely, closer you go to people, more you learn about their problems, any of those problems, if you may sort out through you involvement, you will feel satisfaction inside you!. You are a man of good thinking, give your thoughts a right direction and you shall create marvelous results!. Do not give up thinking, it polishes your skill of being good to society!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hi Adam,
This is an interesting question!. I have been able to adopt this same like mindedness as far as determining my own attitude from within!. The way I formed a meaningful relationship was to ask God to bring him to me!. He did!. I didn't even really ask, I was talking to a friend of mine on the phone one day!. She and I got onto the topic of relationships!. I had told her that I was done with looking for love myself!. I was too tired and too old, and I just wanted to give up!. She and I talked quite a while about this!.

About two weeks later, while having my groceries delivered, (I have a mental illness and was having trouble last year getting groceries for myself) there was a new driver on the route who was unfamiliar!. He was very pleasant and kind and had a radiance of spirituality emanating from him!. I literally felt it!. Since I am partial to someone being very spiritual (as I am) I was attracted to him!. But it wasn't a physical thing!. It was his presence!. The next time he delievered, he asked me if I needed a prayer for anything in my life!. I was so shocked that he would ask such a personal question to a complete stranger! But it sure was nice!. He and his delievery partner prayed for me and this beautiful man gave me his phone number and told me if I ever needed someone to talk to, he'd be happy to!. That was over a year ago!. We are still together today!.

As far as forming bonds with other people, I don't need to!. I know who loves me!. All my life, I have gone out of my way to show people that I love them!. If they don't want to be around me now (+40 yrs later) or make the same effort to be in my life, they are not going to!. No big deal!. I don't conform to this world anyway!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
