I would rebut that this isn't a lack of experience of being lonely, of course I've felt lonely at times. This is on the contrary for the OP a lack of the experience of feeling OK with themselves. Along with a neurotic belief that they need someone else to make them OK. Any mental illness resides only in a person's mind. Therefore the only solution is from within that person's mind. In short, get over it and move on. Stop wallowing in your self serving misery... Unless you actually want to feel that way...
