just saying, you can’t solve loneliness without going out and meeting real people. online friends help, but it’s the difference between a partner you can see, hug, do physical stuff together, and an LDR. Our brains need real human contact, an online chat Isn’t the same.
I’m horrified to be near any people, I have just developed downright anthrophobia after a while, I’m extremely messed up, and forcing me to interact with people (as my job does) only degrades me further.
that’s part of therapy and the internal work they must also do.
and “keep trying” is and will always be a much better advice than “don’t keep trying”.
Jfc, I’m not saying “don’t keep trying”. I’m saying “look at what works best for your situation”, ffs. Read what I actually wrote.

True. As soon as I go outside, my loneliness is solved, and I never want to go outside again.
it takes work, and repetition, going outside and “touching grass” is noting.

i hope you figure it out, and have access to resources, like a good therapist. 🫂
