Old Fear

I believe most of the people do not want to being alone, me either, especially when we departure from our family to a new unknow environment. Even I can consider the fear of being alone as a very challenge, because for me I like the warm and friendly atmosphere when I get together with my family and friends. I felt rather lonely in this strange town at first I came to California, there is nothing familiar to me, totally different language, distinct people, very western food, inconveinent transportation, and so forth. However, I am getting used to being alone with time because I already adapted to the enviroment and I found my ways to overcome this pesky fear.

The most substantial thing for me is that I tried to make new friends who have something in common with me. In our spare time, we talk some fuuny thing or go out side to familiar with the surroundings, inhale fresh air. In addition, I tried to keep a positive attitude toward the fear of being alone. Whenever I live alone, I think it is a perfect time for me to do my own things such as watching movie, listening music, cleaning room and so on. One of my friend told me you must prepare to tolerate the terrible alone time and overcome it as soon as possible. Now six months passed away, and I already familiar with this environment. Being alone is nothing to me now, I can be alone anytime and if I don't like it, I will hang out with my friend.
