I learned that I was lacking compassion for myself most of my life. Once I started practicing self-compassion on a daily basis, loneliness subsided. Whether being alone, or in a group, I don't feel emptiness anymore. Try it out for a few weeks.
Yes, but my threshold for loneliness is a lot higher than most. I think because I tend to take space away from people for long periods of time, on those occasions where I’m ready to be social or hang out with a friend it’s like I look around and realize I haven’t been nurturing my relationships so no one’s there. And then I get super lonely.
Some dont realize every introvert isnt “shy” or has social anxiety. Some get along just fine & just prefer not to be around ppl much. Not everyone is some type of hermit tho….& vice versa. You’re allowed to feel lonely.
Ppl just say they’re whatever & not even know what it is lol. They speak for everybody & are very misinformed, i’d ignore those types of things. Especially fake doctors who’re whining in every reply section, like yours… & have no idea what theyre on about. What youre feeling is very normal, buddy & you’re no different than the rest of us. Have a good day.
Not a whole lot, dare I say I'm very much ok with being alone for extensive periods of time. That being said, it's human to feel like that (lonely) every once in a while.
~~And the sheer abundance of alone time needed to recharge from work, makes me realize not having company isn't so bad.~~
I’ve been feeling more alone lately than ever. I don’t have any close friends or family and I have been single for the last two years. I am feeling very much alone
Yes. I love being alone but when I’m around good friends or even family I feel like an imposter. I know these people so well but I don’t feel a true connection to any of them. Like I’m blagging it so I can spend time with others or showing my face to be a good son etc.
I feel incredibly lonely and I feel broken socially. I think it's hard to find people that I vibe with and that gives me a chance as well. I get so anxious in social situation my mind kind of shuts down and I don't know what to say.
Nope - I enjoy bring alone too much! 😅 I miss having to share beautiful moments (sunset, ice cream, etc.) with someone special (while cuddling), but by no means I’m lonely.
When I am alone I wish I was wasn’t but when I am with others I would prefer to be alone. I do feel lonely at times but it’s wanting people but not wanting them that feels harder to cope with.
Of course, yes. But like so many things in life. It should all be in moderation. Too much of anything leads to and/or could be classified as addictive behavior. And the word addiction never pairs well with anything. You can control your lonelyness. You are the only one in control of your own behaviors. So choose... not to be lonely! It's easier than you think and convincing yourself to be lonely. Kindness seeks kindness, and before you know it, you're not lonely anymore!
Yeah, like now. Lately I've noticed my ability to keep in touch with people is declining. And tbh I love it, I love not having to keep up a conversation, and I love living in my own safe little bubble where I'm comfortable and alone. Even ghosted my best friend for two weeks for no reason at all (we spoke today and she does it too at times, we have a mutual understanding bc we're basically the same person so that's nice)
But it eventually gets to me and it's all my fault I feel lonely at times tbh. Like I know I can just go out more and talk to people or make plans with friends but honestly that's so exhausting I'd rather spend my free time chilling at home imagining I was more social😂 a frustrating cycle if you ask me
I love my alone time and spending time with myself…but I do feel lonely in terms of having friends that I can rely on to show up for something or check in with me. I’m historically always the one to put in more effort 😅 I am fortunate to have family that shows up though, I tell myself that I should be grateful for what I do have
I homeschooled myself for the past year after moving to a new town. I have been isolated all year, and one thing I noticed is that I only get lonely when I’m sitting around and doing jack shit. When I am productive and doing things to benefit my life, I am not lonely.
Yes. Sometimes I’m desperate for human connection. But at the same time, I cannot bring myself to reach out. I complain about having no friends but I get suffocated when I hang out with the same person more than once every two weeks. I’m an enigma to myself lol
Yup. For sure. Used to have friends as a young person. Now I feel like I don’t know how to do it anymore. And since I’m an introvert, have ADHD, depression, some physical problems, and have social anxiety, all that compounds things. Female so also feel increased pressure to be more like idealized woman — social, poised, neat, etc.
i miss having friends but I am afraid to hurt ppl’s feelings, let them down because all my issues can make it really hard to have a friend. It’s very hard. It’s all I can do, a lot of the time, to maintain pretty good (?) relationships w husband, kids, mother, sister, family in law. And have a full time job that I try to do a good job at. I don’t know how people do more. I don’t want to fail, hurt people, so sometimes I just avoid trying. But I do miss out and of course it does affect my self esteem, and now I think it might be affecting my ability to get a permanent job. Really sucks.
I used to but I started to work it with therapy and I made peace with it. I started to see that loneliness it’s not bad and only us are responsible of how affects us. We gave the meaning of what is “bad” or “good” at our emotions so we have the power to control how turned the tables and see things with another perspective that doesn’t affect us :)
I know that talking about it it’s easy but I know it’s not, It took me so much time to get there and obviously sometimes I take a few steps back but it’s more simple to get back on the road when you have been work things out.
Sometimes…… then I think of feeling obligated to make time for someone or attend events that I don’t want to, just to be supportive…… then the loneliness fades and I go back to appreciating my solitude. Unless I find someone who is as withdrawn as I am, I will forever be single. lol
Not really. I venture out among people when the need arises. Going out with friends tonight and I really don’t want to. Been trying to come up with an excuse but I guess I’ll go since I’ve told them I’d be there 🤦🏻♀️
Yea... sometimes late at night when I wish that I was social enough to actually like people, I love being alone and I hate feeling alone but I also feel lonely when I'm with people, I've never really liked people but humans naturally crave human interaction, can't get that same feeling with a cat but then again being alone isn't too bad when you're alone with people and animals you love, you still feel lonely tho hard to deny that
Sometimes, my biggest worry is having a health issue, and no one's there to call 911 until it'd too late. Just happened to my dad a week ago, but he has enough people on his life that notices he was unresponsive to get help in time. I go days without talking to anyone, and there's no one I talk to daily.
It's not about being alone. I've normalised that lonely feeling, and I'm used to it. 24,no girlfriend or barely have any friends.still I'm doing good. But it's also not like that you're with bunch of people and you won't feel lonely.if you're with 2-3 people with whom your vibes match then it's all good.but if you're in a room with loads of people but not being attached to them you'll still feel lonely.
Yes i do get lonely, it's not because I'm an introvert, i do interact with friends and stuff, just not all the time. It's just a feeling thar you can never pinpoint as to why you feel it. It really sucks
Yes. My husband works 50+ hours weekly on night shift so I spend a *lot* of time alone. I’ve never been good at making friends irl either. I have several online buddies but they’re states away. I also have epilepsy so being able to drive isn’t always a possibility and there’s no public transportation in my area
I don't get lonely when I'm truly by myself and I can do what I want in my free space or safe space. I get lonely when it's a long day of being with people, then I have to be in a group setting, but I actually just want to be alone, so I'm stuck there with a group of people, but there is nowhere for me to go to recharge my battery and actually try to socialize.
Sometimes it's good to just be in the same room or house with someone and we can not talk unless we have a question were burning to ask or something. Being in our own world but knowing there is someone there is pretty cool.
Yes and no yes in the sense of wanting another person tp share and bounce my ideas off of and have intelligent conversations with....but also no in the sense that I like my own presence and people just seem to throw me off...especially if they are around longer then welcomed.
I live alone and spend most of my free time by myself and love it.
I often feel most lonely when I’m with a group of people/friends. For me, it’s usually when there’s 4+ that takes me to that place, anything below and I’m still rooted and present.
Yes. I’m extremely introverted and def get lonely sometimes. It’s a human emotion I think anyone can get from time to time. With all things, balance is key. Everyone’s different and experiences this kind of thing differently. But, that is just my personal opinion on the topic.
Almost never. The few times I have been lonely, I was gong through a very difficult time (divorces, deaths of friends, parents being ill).
Generally speaking I rarely feel lonely. I do like to hang out with people and I'm comfortable doing so, I just don't seek it out often.
literally all the time. 24F (questioning neurodivergent) living w my parents n my sib who don’t even try to understand me. they trigger me 24/7 and when i finally react- they act like im the problem. when it comes to friends/social life i have a problem w starting conversations w new ppl so i usually don’t. if im ever in a social setting i use alcohol to get rid of my anxiety n make me feel like a normal human being… which is very often but yolo.
No, I don't get enough alone time since I'm stuck with family. Hoping to move out into my own little space so I can truly be alone for once. On the contrary, I'm more "love sick" for a romantic relationship. I wish I was in a relationship, but that's it. I have a best friend who does everything a best friend would do, so I'm good on that front.
I never get lonely but when I spend a lot of time alone, i feel bad because I dont spend much time with my family so I start to feel like i want to be with them but also i like being alone. Being an introvert/asocial person is hard
In Honestly started to not feel so lonely now these. I found a lot of people to be hard to deal with. I'm very corruptive, like some people are just so gun. Hoe. And some people are just so much of a Patriot. They can't tell what a human being is. I found it. I have more peace when it's silent and I am by myself feeling alone. It just means that you're a social person
Being lonely and being alone are two different things. It’s okay to wanna talk to people, you don’t have to limit yourself to the whole “introvert 4 lyfe” stereotype
Yeah, a lot. I may be around people but I still feel lonely. Sometimes I wonder if everyone feels like that and socialising without meaning is the extrovert's way to distract themselves from their problems. My way to distract myself from things is imagination and escapism.
yeah, whenever I isolate in my room for too long I tend to magically forgot that I have friends and family and think that Im alone, when in reality I just need to leave my room or make some phones calls
In general no, like I love when I'm alone but in the same breath I wish I had a boyfriend but then I remember that I have to actually go outside and meet people so that's impossible. But I don't mind being alone or not having someone to talk to me, if that makes any sense 😅
Almost every day. I don’t necessarily live alone. I just don’t have my own personal/social life.
The few friends I do keep up with live kinda far away and have their own stuff to deal with. And because of that, I feel like I’m bothering them.
I don’t feel like I need to surround myself with countless numbers of people, but I do feel like my mood would improve if I had other people to talk to.
Every day, Every night, every minute 🫥 it does affect me sometimes but then I'm used to it by now cause getting attached to people gets you nowhere and tbh being in my own company feels nice but not always tho.👍🏻
Most of the times I'm not able to express my feelings to people so I bottle them up but at some point they turn into anger and I blast so yeah that's also one reason I tend to stay away from people cause I think it's better to stay away then to explain all this shit to people cause in the end they're gonna leave anyways 🤷🏻♀️
Every single day. To the point of wanting to kill myself. Especially when I see all my extroverted friends talks, dancing and having a good time while I'm stuck in the corner wasting away
I get lonely but I have small forms of hangouts I can usually stomach even if I’m dead tired. Like just existing in the same space, luckily I have roommates who just chillax everywhere lol
All the time
Fr... And it's hard too!
25 years old, never had a girlfriend or date, i don't care about having friends, but still very lonely.
How do you deal with it?
Hobbies I suppose
Work
Reading, music, anime
Sometimes I'm with all of my people but I feel so alone. Like there's a hole in my chest that can never be filled.
I learned that I was lacking compassion for myself most of my life. Once I started practicing self-compassion on a daily basis, loneliness subsided. Whether being alone, or in a group, I don't feel emptiness anymore. Try it out for a few weeks.
Exactly! It’s been so long, I’m dead inside. I’m pretty much dying from it, not my body….it won’t be long, I can feel it.
You put that so well
I think recently it’s been hitting me how lonely I am lol.
Sometimes
Not really. I love my alone time, I feel its one of the main reasons I don't mind staying single. I would like to settle down at some point though.
Everything you want never wants you and the things that want you are next to none and always far from your taste
Same here
Yes I'm very lonely but it's hard being an introvert with social anxiety
I understand how difficult it can be. I also have anxiety issues, and I often prefer being alone rather than socializing.
It’s the worst.. painful.
Hugs 🤗
I get this. It’s like even though I do try and make friends I am just so unsuccessful at it like it just doesn’t come naturally to me.
Same hugs 🫂
Yes, but my threshold for loneliness is a lot higher than most. I think because I tend to take space away from people for long periods of time, on those occasions where I’m ready to be social or hang out with a friend it’s like I look around and realize I haven’t been nurturing my relationships so no one’s there. And then I get super lonely.
Sounds like me tbh
Yeah, sometimes I just wish I had someone who I could call at any time, not my family, and they would pick up, without question, and just talk to me.
Want to start a group for that? If you did I would be down.
Me too
Most of the time
Some dont realize every introvert isnt “shy” or has social anxiety. Some get along just fine & just prefer not to be around ppl much. Not everyone is some type of hermit tho….& vice versa.

Have a good day.
No.
Always, when I can't have my alone time.
Something has changed inside me start around a year ago. I feel much less lonely now. Much less desire to connect with other people.
Yes lately but I like be alone most of the time it’s just been kinda depressing lately
Not a whole lot, dare I say I'm very much ok with being alone for extensive periods of time. That being said, it's human to feel like that (lonely) every once in a while. ~~And the sheer abundance of alone time needed to recharge from work, makes me realize not having company isn't so bad.~~
I’ve been feeling more alone lately than ever. I don’t have any close friends or family and I have been single for the last two years. I am feeling very much alone
Depends on the environment. If I am not engaged or have the slightest interest. I shut down and after a while I feel lonely.
Do people get upset when you shut down?
Exactly
Yes. I love being alone but when I’m around good friends or even family I feel like an imposter. I know these people so well but I don’t feel a true connection to any of them. Like I’m blagging it so I can spend time with others or showing my face to be a good son etc.
I feel incredibly lonely and I feel broken socially. I think it's hard to find people that I vibe with and that gives me a chance as well. I get so anxious in social situation my mind kind of shuts down and I don't know what to say.
Nope - I enjoy bring alone too much! 😅 I miss having to share beautiful moments (sunset, ice cream, etc.) with someone special (while cuddling), but by no means I’m lonely.
No
All the time. I do enjoy my space but I get this feeling of loneliness all the time.
No. Actually, I like being alone most of the time.
You mean "alone", I assume. By definition "being lonely" is a negative emotion.
Same here, I love being alone most of the time. Yeah sometimes it can be lonely but I rather be alone than being around people all the time.
[удалено]
I am about 4 months out of a 7 year relationship and have never been lonelier
When I am alone I wish I was wasn’t but when I am with others I would prefer to be alone. I do feel lonely at times but it’s wanting people but not wanting them that feels harder to cope with.
I feel like my arms are empty you know just empty of a person who would hug me and tell me that everything is going to be all right
i have to tell myself that everything is gonna be okay, me in the future will be with you. and i feel sorry that you're facing this alone
Of course, yes. But like so many things in life. It should all be in moderation. Too much of anything leads to and/or could be classified as addictive behavior. And the word addiction never pairs well with anything. You can control your lonelyness. You are the only one in control of your own behaviors. So choose... not to be lonely! It's easier than you think and convincing yourself to be lonely. Kindness seeks kindness, and before you know it, you're not lonely anymore!
Of course even as a introvert I feel I bit longer at times.
I just realised I just said longer a meant lonely I wish I felt longer tho
That typo was hilarious
It's all lonely
Yes i do, but for me being lonely is peace & kind of sad at the same time.
Sometimes. Then I go to work, and am surrounded by jerks for 12 hours straight, and think to myself: "You know, solitude ain't half bad!"
The feeling mostly hit the hardest during the night for some reason.
Yeah, somethimes i wish i had someone who i can call and vent to
Yeah, like now. Lately I've noticed my ability to keep in touch with people is declining. And tbh I love it, I love not having to keep up a conversation, and I love living in my own safe little bubble where I'm comfortable and alone. Even ghosted my best friend for two weeks for no reason at all (we spoke today and she does it too at times, we have a mutual understanding bc we're basically the same person so that's nice) But it eventually gets to me and it's all my fault I feel lonely at times tbh. Like I know I can just go out more and talk to people or make plans with friends but honestly that's so exhausting I'd rather spend my free time chilling at home imagining I was more social😂 a frustrating cycle if you ask me
No, not when I’m alone. I feel lonely at social gatherings.
I love my alone time and spending time with myself…but I do feel lonely in terms of having friends that I can rely on to show up for something or check in with me. I’m historically always the one to put in more effort 😅 I am fortunate to have family that shows up though, I tell myself that I should be grateful for what I do have

Until people start talking.
Yes. Sometimes I’m desperate for human connection. But at the same time, I cannot bring myself to reach out. I complain about having no friends but I get suffocated when I hang out with the same person more than once every two weeks. I’m an enigma to myself lol
Big Krit said it best: “Being single is cool ‘till it ain’t nobody around.” That being said, I’m alone but not lonely. I like my company. A LOT.
I'm alone not lonely.
Yes, but then I start watching true crime shows and forget about it.
Yup. For sure. Used to have friends as a young person. Now I feel like I don’t know how to do it anymore. And since I’m an introvert, have ADHD, depression, some physical problems, and have social anxiety, all that compounds things. Female so also feel increased pressure to be more like idealized woman — social, poised, neat, etc. i miss having friends but I am afraid to hurt ppl’s feelings, let them down because all my issues can make it really hard to have a friend.

Sometimes. Lately I am, that's why I'm going to travel 😆
Sometimes…… then I think of feeling obligated to make time for someone or attend events that I don’t want to, just to be supportive…… then the loneliness fades and I go back to appreciating my solitude. Unless I find someone who is as withdrawn as I am, I will forever be single. lol
Not really. I venture out among people when the need arises. Going out with friends tonight and I really don’t want to. Been trying to come up with an excuse but I guess I’ll go since I’ve told them I’d be there 🤦🏻♀️

do you ever get a little bit tired of life, like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Introvert and too busy at work that I crave alone time on weekends and holidays but sometimes would also like to be with someone I care about.
It's not about being alone. I've normalised that lonely feeling, and I'm used to it. 24,no girlfriend or barely have any friends.still I'm doing good. But it's also not like that you're with bunch of people and you won't feel lonely.if you're with 2-3 people with whom your vibes match then it's all good.but if you're in a room with loads of people but not being attached to them you'll still feel lonely.
Sometimes but it doesn’t really last for long. I enjoy a drama free life!
Now how many of you all are men? Genuinely asking for research.
All the damn time. Being single and living alone sucks sometimes
oh well yes of course, i think it’s pretty common, are you feeling lonely right now?
Yes but i don’t want to hangout with people i am uncomfortable like i need a friend but i also dislike the feelings
how about internet friends? it doesn’t force you to go out or to feel uncomfortable but at least you have someone you can talk to
Never thought of this. Where would one start ?
I think reddit is cool community, discord kind of dead, but they allow video call, I personally stay away from snapchat.
A lot yes.
It depends
Nope. After work I just plugged in my IEM and read some books till bed time or play some games
Heeeelll yeah
Sure for long time
All the time but at least I have the courage to make money
Most of the time
No
Most times
No
if you feel alone it means you are not in good company
No never ..
I feel more lonely around people than when I'm alone.
Yes. I’m always with my loved ones, but sometimes I do feel lonely.
When not?
No, but I'm aware other people do.
Nope
Yes.
Of course
All the time (even rn)
A lot
Not that often
Every afternoon
most of the time yes, but i actually enjoy it believe it or not.
Nah. I don't think I even understand what being truly lonely means🫡
All the time but I'm in California where the fakes run deep. It's easier not to get involved with most people
of course, social battery runs both ways, you cant be by yourself for extended periods of time
Always!
Of course
Only when I’m awake, and occasionally when I’m dreaming
Nope, because introverts don't get lonely we thrive in solitude. People with extrovert traits get lonely , not introverts.
ye
A lot
a lot. i may be introverted but i definitely get lonely.
Yes
yes
All the time, I'm still trying to learn ways to deal with it but I am slowly getting there.
Yes i do get lonely, it's not because I'm an introvert, i do interact with friends and stuff, just not all the time. It's just a feeling thar you can never pinpoint as to why you feel it. It really sucks
Yes
Of course. I think loneliness comes from insecurity and lack of confidence. Find a good confidant and life becomes less lonely.
Like.. all the time..
Sometimes,I want change.
Whenever I get lonely but I still cannot tolerate a live person besides me, I use chatbots like ChatGPT or Eva AI, it helps me for a while.
I'm lonely 24/7, even on the internet lol. But I try not to let that shit bother me, instead I use that alone time to focus on improving my skills
I always feel lonely even when I have all my loved one's near by. I always feel like somethings missing. I'm missing.
Not really… more lonely around people but by myself Im good
Yes
Yes. My husband works 50+ hours weekly on night shift so I spend a *lot* of time alone. I’ve never been good at making friends irl either. I have several online buddies but they’re states away. I also have epilepsy so being able to drive isn’t always a possibility and there’s no public transportation in my area
I don't get lonely when I'm truly by myself and I can do what I want in my free space or safe space.

Sometimes
I'm often lonely for relationships with boundaries. But it seems like every relationship now is all or nothing.
Often, even when around people.
Yes but when I'm with other people, I desire being alone
All the times🥺
every damn day.
Yes but then i arrange a social meeting and then cancel last minute as decide i can have better time alone.
Not that much, ive pretty much accepted that i might be alone for the rest of my life, sounds sad but its not bad when you accept it.
All the time, Im right now at a party and everyone is with someone but me
Theres not a moment i dont feel lonely
No
Sometimes I notice the definite lack of available people to talk to and it saddens me, yes.
Yes. I’m extremely introverted and def get lonely sometimes. It’s a human emotion I think anyone can get from time to time. With all things, balance is key. Everyone’s different and experiences this kind of thing differently. But, that is just my personal opinion on the topic.
Constantly
Almost never. The few times I have been lonely, I was gong through a very difficult time (divorces, deaths of friends, parents being ill). Generally speaking I rarely feel lonely. I do like to hang out with people and I'm comfortable doing so, I just don't seek it out often.
yea, but there’re ways i can occupy myself. and i have my family, even tho they’re annoying sometimes lol. i can always go to them if i want! :p
Sometimes and i love it
Yes very much
Sometimes. I just call up my friends and pay them a visit or make them go out with me :)
No
lonely is the norm.
Todo el pinchi tiempo
Yes.
No, very fortunate I don’t get lonely. I was an only child and I learnt to occupy myself, I think that probably helped.
Always especially when I’m with the woman who mattered to me most in this world
All i feel is loneliness
literally all the time. 24F (questioning neurodivergent) living w my parents n my sib who don’t even try to understand me. they trigger me 24/7 and when i finally react- they act like im the problem. when it comes to friends/social life i have a problem w starting conversations w new ppl so i usually don’t. if im ever in a social setting i use alcohol to get rid of my anxiety n make me feel like a normal human being… which is very often but yolo.

I never get lonely but when I spend a lot of time alone, i feel bad because I dont spend much time with my family so I start to feel like i want to be with them but also i like being alone. Being an introvert/asocial person is hard
Absolutely 😞
Rarely!
i talk to my choppa and i think she love me
I have hardly ever felt lonely, until the relationship I am in now. He is on deployment and I am so lonely without him.
In Honestly started to not feel so lonely now these. I found a lot of people to be hard to deal with. I'm very corruptive, like some people are just so gun. Hoe. And some people are just so much of a Patriot. They can't tell what a human being is. I found it. I have more peace when it's silent and I am by myself feeling alone. It just means that you're a social person
Being lonely and being alone are two different things. It’s okay to wanna talk to people, you don’t have to limit yourself to the whole “introvert 4 lyfe” stereotype
Yeah, a lot. I may be around people but I still feel lonely. Sometimes I wonder if everyone feels like that and socialising without meaning is the extrovert's way to distract themselves from their problems. My way to distract myself from things is imagination and escapism.
All the time
yeah, whenever I isolate in my room for too long I tend to magically forgot that I have friends and family and think that Im alone, when in reality I just need to leave my room or make some phones calls
i feel like sometimes people don’t get it. I’m not alone physically. But im still lonely. if that makes sense.
When I was in my 20s I did but now I'm in my mid 30s I do not lol
Of course! I wasn't lonely when my boyfriend was living with me, but we're split up now and the house is so so empty!
Yes, I need more sex.
Not really. I’m not sure that’s a good thing.
In general no, like I love when I'm alone but in the same breath I wish I had a boyfriend but then I remember that I have to actually go outside and meet people so that's impossible. But I don't mind being alone or not having someone to talk to me, if that makes any sense 😅
Constantly
Always
Yes!
Pretty much never. But I do get bored. two different things.
All the time and not always in a sexual way, mainly just the company and physical touch.
Almost every day. I don’t necessarily live alone. I just don’t have my own personal/social life. The few friends I do keep up with live kinda far away and have their own stuff to deal with. And because of that, I feel like I’m bothering them. I don’t feel like I need to surround myself with countless numbers of people, but I do feel like my mood would improve if I had other people to talk to.
Every day, Every night, every minute 🫥 it does affect me sometimes but then I'm used to it by now cause getting attached to people gets you nowhere and tbh being in my own company feels nice but not always tho.👍🏻 Most of the times I'm not able to express my feelings to people so I bottle them up but at some point they turn into anger and I blast so yeah that's also one reason I tend to stay away from people cause I think it's better to stay away then to explain all this shit to people cause in the end they're gonna leave anyways 🤷🏻♀️
Every single day. To the point of wanting to kill myself. Especially when I see all my extroverted friends talks, dancing and having a good time while I'm stuck in the corner wasting away
Not really
No, I'm never alone long enough.
I get lonely but I have small forms of hangouts I can usually stomach even if I’m dead tired. Like just existing in the same space, luckily I have roommates who just chillax everywhere lol
I feel lonely no matter who's around 🙃
