Finding the wrong person. I am enough for myself. I can't let someone take that away from me again.

From my own experience I have found that being married to the wrong person is a worse kind of lonlieness than actually being alone. So, I'd rather be alone than with the wrong person.
Good question!!

Finding the wrong person.....after the hell i've been through I can honestly say that fnding the wrong person will NEVER happen again. We should be MORE afraid of not finding ourselves..... I think I got that one licked too! only one way to go from here and thats UP!

I'm afraid of finding the wrong person and not realizing it.

I don't know how to be single or gauge the right person because I'm afraid of being alone.

I'm also afraid of being the wrong person for the other person.

I'd rather not find anyone than find the wrong person the next time.

I'm with everyone else on this one. I'd rather be alone than with the wrong person again! Nothing more painful than that.

I'm really not afraid of being alone and I have been with the wrong person for almost 10 years. Yes, being with the wrong person is very very lonely. I find I have more intelligent conversations with myself. LOL

Finding the wrong person is the bigger fear for me.

It is so painful to find someone you think is right and invest yourself completely in the relationship and have the relationship fail.

I have met a few people that have shown interest in wanting to spend a lot of time with me ... but I am afraid of emotionally investing myself for fear of getting hurt again.

Good question.

Finding no one at all is what I am more fearful of. I am also fearful of finding the wrong person (abusive, or the like).

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
