A term for someone who is having a significant amount of trouble finding their other half, and probably never will find it for as long as they live. Typically, the person is not the
most attractive one around. They may also have
social anxiety, which is almost (though not always) the main reason.
Despite often being used as a joke, being lonely is very real and should not be taken lightly. Loneliness can often severely damage a person's mental health; they may think that no one loves them or cares for them, and
severe depression ensues. And if it's not addressed soon enough, the person may end it all.
Example:
If you know a
forever alone person...give them a hug.
Let them know that someone still cares for them, and that their special someone is somewhere out there.
If you ARE a forever alone person...understand
that there's nothing wrong with you. Some people simply find that one person who just clicks in their heart quicker than others. Don't give up hope, because that person will appear someday.
