This might be weird, but I only feel lonely when I try to improve my social life (and inevitably fail). When I sort of give up and fall back to my usual routine, I do not mind being alone. I am sort of so far away from all of THAT, that I do not even have the desire for human connection.
How long has that been going on for? If it goes on for many years you might find yourself very alone during times you really don't want to be. Made that mistake myself and wish I had not.
makes total sense to me. if i were content to be alone, i'd not bother trying to connect. what stops me from being content is that i fear i might not be content forever, and also that i being alone is not how i want to live, even if i were to find a way to be happy with it because i believe the future of our society depends on building community and connections.
