I’m sorry to hear that. Loneliness is one of our biggest social problems in the world right now and tbh not much is being done about it. Technology is driving us more and more away from human interaction and it’s becoming harder to actual be around people and even if you are you could still be lonely.

I think you have to find solace in place you find joy and happiness. Even if it’s just going to the park and seeing people walk around. I know it’s not the same as being around people but I feel you. Growing up I never kept many friends and I when I really needed someone to talk too I didn’t have anyone to turn too, no lifetime friends. Even now at work, I don’t keep many friends just colleagues that I talk too at work and nothing more. I do and don’t regret not expanding my horizons, I do because obv I could’ve had someone to talk to when I need too and be around. I don’t because sometimes I realise that lots of people I thought could’ve been friends probs weren’t good friends, they would take more from me than I would give. So yeah.

I hope it gets better.

It is not a problem, it is a symptom
Are those mutually exclusive
To some extent yes.

You can’t solve loneliness without solving underlying issues.
