I think that you have to be lonely at some point in your life in order to be genuine. A lot of people are over-socialized and not in touch with themselves and it's difficult to be friends with them because it feels like work.
- awkwarddaturtle 9y agoExperiences of loneliness, suffering and loss are essential for human development. You cannot be a complete human without it just like you need community/social bonds, happiness and birth. But excessive amounts can be harmful. Accepting that we are at once alone but also part of a community/society/culture/nation is part of maturing and developing.
