    I'll keep it short

    Recently out of nowhere I've just had feelings mostly fears that I will be lonely all my life. I don't know why. It just happened one night out of nowhere and hit me like a tonne of bricks. I don't know why I'm having such thoughts, I'm 20 soon, and have a lot more fun ahead of me I think! But I don't know why I feel I'm missing out all the time, I feel everyone is doing stuff but me? Since yours 20s is supposed to be about fun and all of that, for some part, sometimes I just think it wont happen to me and I'll never have a fulfilling life. I've never been in a relationship but I feel like everyone around me is. What am I doing wrong? I don't like these feelings

    Im not sure what kind of advice your looking for but it sounds like how you feel is a passing anxiety. Im 29 and I still sometimes feel lonely and like everyone but me is having fun. But its nonsense really. Rather than thinking about what you think everyone else is going, focus on doing what you what you want to do. Its very unlikely you'll be lonely your whole life. There will be times when your lonely but life will go on and circumstances will change. Nothing stays the same way forever.

    Hi there,

    I felt exactly the same out of nowhere, when I was around 17. One night It was just lying there at home, and I got all anxious for no reason. I got really depressed about everything. Looking back now, I had been anxious for a while, and it stemed from I had finished school, and didnt know what to do with my life etc, and I had loads of fears about everything.
    You are not alone, lots of us have got anxious and worried about things at different points in our lifes. But luckily it passed for me, and I found things I enjoyed doing.
    Try and not dwell on anything, just try and get out more, do some excerise. Also do not focus on what others around you have, they probably think the same about you. You are still young you dont have to be in a relationship, my advise is to go have fun, there is plenty of time for that.
    Dont worry as the other poster said it is just a phase...
