"She goes alone because no one peels her", "how depressing is a woman alone", "she comes alone, nobody accompanies her!". Frequently in our society, these phrases strengthen a fear felt by a large part of the female population: the fear of loneliness.

In an interview for GetQoralHealth, the Sexologist and Psychotherapist of the "Open Closet", Lía Soriano , says that women are afraid of loneliness because from small we are educated for the couple and to function around another, we are taught to take care of others and to depend on them.

Learning to enjoy the experience of going alone to a place, for example the cinema, allows women to obtain something called empowerment. For Lía Soriano, this offers not only independence but power, self-esteem and the feeling that "you can do everything by yourself".

However, it is not easy to achieve for this reason the expert offers five suggestions for you to get it:

1. How do you feel being alone? Analyze your levels of vulnerability.

2. Explore the reasons that generate fear. Study if they are situations learned, experiences or that come from your family.

3. Economic solvency. It is an important point. On many occasions, although you do not want to accept is an element that does not allow you to move away from a toxic relationship. Try to find a medium that generates money. Not being a housewife means you do not know how to do anything. Remember, you are useful and you are worth it for yourself.

4. Have a social network that is not just the couple. Here there can be friends of different types, the one who listens to you on the phone, the friend who always accompanies you to the movies or the one who is good at giving advice. Remember, only one person can not give you everything.

5. Put aside the feeling that you are alone. Not so, when you go to the movies remember: "I'm alone because no one will fight me but by choice." Enjoy the power you have, the freedom to choose what you want to do and see. Enjoy being what matters most.

For others to take you into account it is not necessary that you have someone by your side. Loneliness is always a choice, do not forget it! Love and begin to fully enjoy this feeling do not regret it.
