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.
