How do you cope adult life on your own
Probably not the correct title.
I'd hate to be another one here writing on relationships, instead I want to know how you guys cope living a life that you did not imagine you would have.
I'm turning 34, I thought I'd be married by my mid 20s but Allah swt had other plans, alhamduliah.
I have been through multiple phases of giving up on the search and trying to get used to life on my own, I just wish I was like one of those girls completely detached from relationships and not giving it a thought.
I moved out of home in my late 20s, moved countries, travelled the world, and now have a successful career alhamdulilah. My life looks perfect from outside, but I feel so fragile inside. Like a single gentle word or touch would bring me to tears.
I have days where I just wish I could hear someone breathing next to me.
I have friends but most are married and friendship kind of falls at the bottom of their priority list. I have tried making new friends. But no matter how many hours a day I spend with people I care about, I still end the day feeling hollow.
How do you guys manage?
How do you cope with loneliness? Its not just being around anyone, I felt lonely even at my parents for years
How do you juggle between having tawwakul and not letting the thoughts consume you?
I have removed all social media over 4yrs ago, it was all too focused on relationships, I stopped going to weddings over 10yrs ago because it would literally make me emotional.
I don't know what to do. How many more hobbies to take on, how many more people to hang out with, how do you escape from your own emotions and thoughts?
