It just seems really sad to me that I'd die alone.. I only have one friend left after having been ill for a few years.. What if she decides to leave as well and I never make new ones! It's just really.. SCARY..

I feel the exact same way. I feel like what little I have hangs by a thread. Right now I just have 2 friends, one is not close and I've known him a year now. But he doesn't open up. At least he's around though. The other is in another state (not by his choice)

Last year I had two so-called "friends" just stop talking to me.

I'm always on the look out for new friends, even though the ones I get don't stick around. Maybe they aren't really "friends". I don't know.

I don't have a close family, what little I have of THAT. So I feel the same way. Nobody to grow old with or to help. I'd have to rely on these places that help older people. VERY scary, as even those places are stretched so thin, with all the need out there.

Even if one does have someone, you're right there's no guarantee something won't happen. I wish I had a support network of over 100 people. With THAT number, I'd feel more secure. The odds of something happening to that many people all at once is remote, I think.
