I’m not comfortable with most people and am not really the sort a great many would like to spend oodles of time with even if I was. I’m not generally lonely. I’m specifically lonely for the rare soul or souls who could both enjoy me and allow me to feel comfortable. It has always been so and most likely always will. The key is to find your tribe, your people, your kindred souls. Some of us do, a lot of us don’t.

Most people feel lonely because they have needs or desires that are not fulfilled, or they have expectations that are not met.
In my own experience, I used to feel lonely if I was not in a relationship, or married, and because I wanted that for myself I made hasty or unwise choices. I was unwilling to suffer that feeling of needs not met, but in the end, I suffered much more because I was unwise.
Now that I am alone, I feel an immense sense of relief that the suffering inflicted by the ex is over. When I feel the impulse to find someone else, all I do is remember what happened, and I am so, so happy to be alone.
The only time I feel lonely now is when my son is supposed to see me for my birthday or mother's day, and he blows me off. That still hurts, and I feel lonely all that day, but it is quickly over.

Sometimes I can be even with people and feel lonely. It is when you feel disconnected from others. I overcome it by occupying myself with something. I like to do many things so I always find something I like and tell myself if no one is around it shouldn't mean I can't still enjoy my time :) often cool discoveries can happen when alone hahah

Reaching out to others, without holding back or putting up walls. And this is not easy, but with the right person, it can be very liberating. Satisfying. 💕🤗

Just carry on with any of your positive emotions. Loneliness doesn't go away instantly. Keep holding on. Godspeed!!!
