I don't see loneliness as a bad thing anymore

I think I prefer being alone now. I don't see it as a bad thing or a thing that's hurting me now. People are a disappointment thru and thru so I am not missing out on much. It's less worry on back to not have to deal with people anymore

I don't mind being alone too. I've been a people pleaser and I thought to feel worthy, that I needed to make everyone feel happy or good, always. Well, it's exhausting for years doing it. And rarely are they doing it for me. However I'm realizing I do need SOME friends or people in my life because I don't have any support system, my therapist says. And they are right..I have no one to ever lean on if I should ever need to😦 I am going to try to really find a weekly or monthly club to join because while it feels good on the short term, being alone, not dealing with drama, etc ...I know in the long term it's not the best for me, emotionally.

Aloneness or being alone and loneliness are two different things.

@Infamous607 They are though, just not always mutually exclusive

Loneliness by definition is a bad thing. Just say you like being alone, because no one likes being lonely.

@Reject Nah even the feeling of loneliness can be good depending on how you look at it

@Movingthegoalpost Maybe if you think feeling sad is a good thing. Then sure.

@Reject No...It can help with self reflection. If you feel "good" all the time, some times self reflection can be difficult. Hey some people do like feeling sad, it's better than not feeling anything at all and becoming numb

People sure are a disappointment. I couldn’t agree more 👌🏾
