Do you feel lonely? As if there is no one out there for you? That no one understands you? Sure you may have one friend who truely gets you. Sure you may have had that one girl/guy in the past who was "the one". There seems to be a lot of talk about soul-mates these days. And often a response to be found is, "there are other fish in the sea,". Well it's true. But that's just a statement, what does it really imply?
The global population as of my most recent check on Google is 6,775,235,700. That's quite a lot of people. Now lets look at the average population of cities. In the US, the average city population size is 6,545. Which is a decent amount of people. I myself live in a city with a population of 20,000. The outlying towns around me probably meet up to the 6,545 mark. We can safely assume that most people in the global population live in a city (city, town, village, etc. Any inhabited place.) And also we can assume that the average population for cities in other countries around the world is similar to that of the US.
What am I getting at? Simple. It seems that throughout life, everyone is bound to meet at least one person whom they love dearly or have a soul-mate like connection with. Usually you can find someone like that in every place you might move to throughout life. What I'm trying to say is that, in essence, each city in the world is likely to have at least one person in it who is greatly compatible with yourself.
Let's go back to those numbers.
So each city is bound to have at least one person in it with whom we can really get along. So 6,545=1 for the sake of this problem. Now since we're assuming that everyone in the global population lives in a city (town, village, etc. We've already been over this.) we can divide the population, by the avg. city populaion...
What have we got? 1,035,177.
That means that in this world, there is at least 1,035,177 people who are greatly compatible with you. Over one million people with whom you'd be able to share brilliant company. That's considering that there's only one person in each city.
You're not alone. You've got possibly millions on your side. Remember that.

You and all your closest friends.
Obviously the math on this isn't solid, but it gives a good look on just how not alone we are.
