Can one be alone & be happy?

Am bored in this office... everyone is busy with their own stuff & work... Am hiding at a corner, behind my screen, doing nothing... My colleague is on MC so am left all alone for lunch today... There I was looking for people to lunch with me... Apparently, i seems to be the free one only...

Then it dawned on me again: I am never one person that enjoys solitude, loneliness.. I never like to do things alone, eat alone, shop alone, watch a movie alone or ANYTHING alone... it is just feel so pathetic to be alone by myself & imagine everyone is looking @ you to give up your table during peak hour just becos you are alone... No1 to share interesting things you see nor gossip... I would rather skip lunch/dinner or just rot @ home... i can stay at home the whole day alone rotting around, doing my cross-stitch, reading, watching tv etc...

What if one day, when am old and am still single and alone, can i live through that? Probably not... Ha! Probably i'll check myself into 1 of those nursing homes or get a few friends to share the house (that provided others are single as well!)

Think I'll never be able to live alone & be happy... I ponder...

It is raining again... =(
