You kind of get used to it I think. Others sounds great and then you find yourself emotionally drained after a 15 minute encounter with the wrong person and all of a sudden lonely seems good again...

Also you can be in a room of the wrong people and feel more alone than being alone. Same with a wrong partner really.

I guess TL:DR there are far worse things than being alone.

Yep. For me, having to talk to other people who are happy and upbeat make me feel worse about things. I don't want to have to explain. I don't have the energy.

Yeah fed up with dealing with certain people can make you want to become a hermit and stay the hell away from those.

Conflicts of interests 😄😄😄
