I always turned the rejection around & could very soon realize that the person who rejected me was the looser....not me.....knowing that in reality they weren't the kind of person I would have wanted to waste my life on in the first place.

Growing up as an only child....I never sensed that lonliness issues & really didn't care one way or the other on getting married. If the right person came along then great. Unfortunately, the person that came along that I got married to....I should have listened to my gut feelings of not wanting to marry them before the wedding. After 33 years of being married to the wrong person.....I love my alone life now & wouldn't trade it for anything.....while having good real friends that I never had before is a wonderful exchange.
