I am becoming convinced the solution is to come up with a personal strategy that is based on embracing a singular world rather than feeling that it is a burden. It may seem like an over-simplification to suggest it is a mindset solution, but the more I spend time in this world, the more it seems to come down to that.
The idea isn't to shut off any possibilities of relationships or genuine friend groups, but not to feel diminished for remaining a single entity. There are always trade-offs and that "grass is greener of the other side" dynamic can really become a detrimental mind game in that it seems all would be better with a relationship and lots of friends. Reality suggests that what looks like ice-cream, rainbows, and warm socks on a cold winter night can be as much of a harrowing experience as being in a world-of-one, but for different reasons.
Take another look at hope and turn it over. It just needs to be fluffed.

You can be alone and not lonely if you find the right thing to fill your empty spaces.

Keep being kind and compassionate, treating fairly, smile at others... Assist them, initiate conversation, compliment, everyone likes hearing something positive from a stranger... I hope you can make meaningful connections soon. This too is just for a season... It'll pass ...

@Kstrong that is defiantly something I need to hear now and again. thank you.

I understand your words. I can relate and I don't think anyone should feel bad about their feelings. I gave up because of that pain. I'm still kind but I'm officially done needing or wanting someone to share with. If it happens one day, great, but I'm not hoping for it anymore. Hope can be a poison.

Have you tried dating again? 😞

Get rich. You'll have plenty of women!

I'm also feeling lonely, and fearing that when I'm 36 I'll be in your position. I'm preparing for that to be my reality, and learning to use my love to love life in general, rather than putting it all into one person.
darcdragosen · 36-40, M
@MartinTheFirst there is defiantly value in your words. i should be appreciative of what positive good vibes i'm getting from life, instead of trying to push to this one ideal. it'll always be a hope in my heart, even if this true love i seek is only an apparition. we should all just try to give love and receive what we can. ideals themselves might just be pipe dreams. but that doesn't mean there isn't something out there that will fulfill us in ways we never conceived.

@darcdragosen I'm searching for that daily

Well, it's been almost a full year since you made this post. Just wondering, have things improved in your social life yet?
darcdragosen · 36-40, M
@SandWitch there has been some improvement. Still fighting the same demons, but they still help me grow and learn. But yes i do feel i'm making progress in my relationships with people. Thanks for asking.
