This is probably a normal part of growing up, but it's been on my mind lately.

I have a really nice and loving family that I'm very close with. When I move out on my own eventually, it seems like it's going to be really lonely not being around people that love me, and not coming home to anybody that cares about me. Like it'll just be me..in the world..by myself. With nobody around me often who actually loves me or cares about what I did that day. That's going to be...really weird. I mean, friends are great, but they don't really care about you like family does.

I'm assuming that lonely feeling of just kind of being a "drifter" through life when you're on your own goes away when you get married and have a family of your own, right? It's just so weird to me to think of having every day where I don't interact with anyone who really cares about me and am just by myself in that sense. Maybe I think too much, but this IS something I've thought about. Does this concept occur to most people? The idea of going through your days subsequently not around people who care about you? I'm assuming probably...probably why people date so often and jump into relationships so easily, I'm just guessing. What do you guys think? The idea of being alone and not around people who care about me until I find someone to marry, seems really weird to me.
