How can one be lonely and not want to be around people at the same time?

Sounds like you want to be around the right person and not just around anyone

People kinda suck sometimes; lonely sucks a helluvalot less in comparison 😉

The avoidance of pain can be a very powerful drive.

It's simple really.

Extroverts and introverts rarely understand each other when it comes to a lot of people.

I am somewhere closer to introvert than extrovert. I can't stand crowds of people. I avoid them at all costs, so I understand introverts better than extroverts.

Depression is a strange thing. I get that way all the time.

I am like that at times......

Human nature; we're a mass of contradictions....

😔

I know exactly what you mean

Each of us is a mystery to ourselves

I know how you feel.

What if that someone was ur best friend or soul mate.. Wud u still prefer to stay alone?

Why are you feeling lonely?

Depression?
