Loneliness is normal. Stop pretending we can choose whom to associate with.

The real estate market isn't a community and your coworkers aren't friends and the barista doesn't know you.
Why are people expecting something else?

@rocknroll how do you choose neighbors? There's no way to choose. If you are six and didn't notice that the kids in your class don't choose, then you can have friends. Adults know we have a different kind of society. You have no reason to be lonely as a grownup.

@Roundandroundwego there are ways to choose who you associate with though. And if you dont like your neighbors you move
There is always a choice for everything
