Feeling lonely

I'm 33 years old and I've never been married and I don't have any children. I really do want a family of my own some day, but I've been content being on my own and have gotten used to being alone that I don't mind it. However, there are some days where it just hits me. The feeling of loneliness creeps in and I start to cry. I start to wonder if I'm always going to stay this way. I'm a very shy and introverted person, so I don't have many friends. In turn it makes me feel even more lonely. But deep down inside I know I'm not truly alone. I have family and a best friend who truly cares for me. I just need to remind myself that I'm not a burden to others and I can share my feelings to them. Anyway, writing this all out is really helping me feel better...
