You do not have to think that you will be all alone without a partner,
and even if you feel a bit lonely, remember that it is temporary and
you have to make little sacrifices for your career. You have to
remember that the history of this world is the history of very few
people. If you observe keenly, you would see that, whoever has
created history or has been able to record his name in history books,
has always been able to conquer his own loneliness. Loneliness and
solitude can be your greatest friend if you know how to use it. Since
your childhood till your youth you have always been surrounded by
people, first in school, and then in college and university. You could
never understand the meaning of a solitude life. Being secluded
helps you to develop your personality, and makes you mentally

able to identify yourself. You get away from your inner self and fail to
recognize and hear the voice within you. You are not able to
understand the real meaning of happiness because you are always

if you encounter a break up, your mental state goes for a toss and all
your preparations gets derailed. The uncertainty about getting
married to your chosen partner can also disturb you. It is also
possible that your partner gets ahead in life and you remain stuck
where you are, this will also affect your mental state. However, in
this scenario it is both uncharacteristic and foolish to expect that your
partner will wait for you.
Getting stuck in one-sided love is another big issue. This is
something which can have a very strong impact on your
psychological condition. On the other hand, the other person does
not care or has no idea about what you are going through. But, in
your mind, you start building your castles in air. You start believing
that you will not be able to live without that person. To you, that
