I got married. Seriously though, I'm mostly comfortable with solitude so it's never been a huge issue with me. I like making, I like tinkering, I like doing what I want when I want. I can keep myself entertained. I also realized this about myself, so I stopped pushing myself to expand my social circles. That's to say I don't like people. I do. I like playing games with people, going to movies, hanging out, etc. But I can go weeks before feeling the desire for social interaction (outside what office life provides). Whereas, I'm done with most social engagements in a few hours even on my most outgoing days. That's my best attempt at answering the title on its face. I overcame it by realizing, like BatManuel claims: "[I am] lone." However, as to the question further asked in the body: I've leaned into myself. I allow myself to be. I've learned that people only care that you care about them. Look for the "cool" first. There's probably something you like in almost everything. Or at least interesting. Everyone wants to be interesting, so be interested.
