If someone is alone because of lack of family, then you find friends.

If a person can't find friends, they can volunteer their time in hospitals visiting with kids or the elderly, or at retirement homes. Those people are happy to talk to anyone.

I'm not really sure. It is easy to say that all life is meaningful if you spend your time trying to make the world a better place, but I don't think that some people are wired to be able to do that alone.

If meaning is not based on your connection with people, then it must be based on your connection to an idea... the Marines succinctly state this as: "God, country, Corps"... though it could be job, a vocation like teaching, etc.

In truth, meaning is always rooted in an an idea. A person can only be the meaning of your life in an indirect way-- with how they make you feel being the substance of that meaning to you... Understand here, that this emotional content is the body of the meaning-- not the other person themselves. This is why we can love someone-- then, when betrayed, we can hate them. Or how we can hate someone, then see them in a new way and love them. This happens to people all the time. What changes really? ... The other person often doesn't change. Our attitude and how we decide to feel about them is what changes. Another person can never directly provide meaning to us. We always decide the meaning through our thoughts-- and very importantly, our emotions.

I like going to eat wings and drink beer alone if they have live music.

I don't have a significant other. For whatever reason, I attract batshit insane women, so I have just kind of removed myself from the dating pool for the time being. I'll get my CPA, hit my target weight, and then be back in.

When they rock 'Imagine', it gives me chills.

Hope all is well.

on topic...uh yeah, being alone can be lonely. but when you WANT to be alone, folks being around can be suffocating.

or not.

Golf, fishing, if I just up and decide to take a vacation one weekend I do, if I want to leave my house messy it'll be there when I get home, season ticket holder to Astros and Rockets, exercise and participate in random half or full marathons. There's enough to fulfill your time if you want.

At this point in my life I don't think I could spend my time off from work at little league games, shopping, commuting from/to the burbs, having to ask permission to do something I enjoy, etc.

The world already has 7.5 billions people already. That's 7.5 billion mouths that's has to eat everyday. 7.5 billion arse holes that need to take a shite everyday.

Creating another person or not adding another person won't make a difference.

Being Single ain't all that. Being in relationship ain't all that. But the grass always seems greener on the other side. It's just different shades different days.
