Consider reading Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, by Lindsay Gibson. The loneliness you feel may be rooted in your upbringing, and learning more about this can give you a deeper way to understand your feelings.
Meanwhile, as others have said, spend time with a competent therapist. You may need to shop around until you find someone that works well for you. They will guide you on how to socialize and form new relationships.
- antonchekhov 4y agoI strongly second these suggestions - the Gibson book is absolutely excellent, and finding a good therapist is worth the search. Doing the work is time-consuming (and can be costly) but the returns are totally worth it.
- JakeAl 4y agoI'd add Running on Empty: Overcome Your Childhood Emotional Neglect by Jonice Webb to that list as well.
