In the universe of free will there is no meant to be.
There are only plans. and if were discussing a plan to be alone than yes i would agree some lives could be intended to learn "self" and or connecting to the external self "maya".

But in the end those lessons can be learned a multitude of ways and that brings me back to LOA and how you view things.

If you believe you're supposed to be alone then your vibration will bring more situations to make you think the same thing. this can be remedied by changing your perspective on self. By changing your self image you will then change the external vision to match the internal.

this same idea can be applied to all free will life situations.

Change you to change your situation.
