This is a way to scratch your left foot when your right foot itches.

The way to alleviate loneliness, is to do meaningful work. Meaningful work will inevitably involve other people.

It's not loneliness so much as being so fucking bored, because everything that took up your time in the past centuries, has now been automated, and you're sent to prison for 10+ years to break your spirit as early as 3 years old.

You send children to school where they have no autonomy, have to sit quietly and memorize stupid bullshit through their entire childhood, and then wonder why they go nuts in all kinds of unpredictable ways.

We're not meant to do stupid bullshit we see no value in doing our entire lives. What's a roommate gonna do to alleviate that? Just skip roommate, try heroin to forget this shit existence and plunge into a world of bliss.

Like so many comments on the internet, this would've been great if you had stopped one sentence earlier.
>>We're not meant to do stupid bullshit we see no value in doing our entire lives.

Then stop doing meaningless things. We're all part of a grand story, and we can play our part to move it forward.

When you find a meaningful purpose, then you'll be able to tolerate the years of trudging forward that it can take achieve goals.

Nothing is more meaningless than abandoning your role in the world with chemical distractions.
