how to stop being a 'misery'

my elderly mother told me earlier on the phone ' stop being a misery', i said i'm sorry mum i just feel overwhelmed by my isolated existence sometimes and wish i had a partner a girlfriend, and my mum said ' we can't wave a magic wand there, you just have to work through your situation one day at a time'.

any thoughts?

You have to keep working on bettering yourself. Do the work and when the time is right then the right person will come along
