Can't exactly ask coworkers for an ugly crying hug in the middle of a workday and then just act like nothing happened like you can with a best friend :( I'll also admit it: I'm lonely and the magic of life seems to have disappeared since this over-the-top loneliness began around 2020. I too want a life full of loving people. Also, fantastic work on that website. That's good stuff.

> After lunch, he decided to watch TV again. He's been around other people today, like at the grocery store. But he hasn't done anything with other people. Now there's something to make you feel even _more_ alone -- being around people. Just waiting for life to expire at this point.

  I tried to go on a vacation on my own, it was to hard to watch the families going about during the holidays And I definitely get what you mean but try to think a lot about the song Waitin' to Die by Useful Jenkins[0] when I'm at my lowest [0] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ2E5AaOJNY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ2E5AaOJNY

    why didnt you just join a tour, even a day tour will introduce you to people to go have drinks with. I always travel alone and usually make lifelong friends on biking day tours traveling soli is one of my greatest pleasures

2020-22 still seemed like I was still in the ignorance is bliss phase, but then middle of last year it really hit me, and hit me hard, how alone I was. Lost a lot of joy in life and can't enjoy the thing I used to. I have a hard time focusing on things and can barely read a page of a book without my mind wandering. I'm making an attempt to steer the ship in the right direction now, but it's so hard. A lot of people I knew, used to talk regularly to, have moved on and there's no reconnecting with them now (I tried). Everything is so different...maybe it always was and I just never really cared to look and realize, I was "happy" in being alone and ignorant of the social aspects of the world. What a sad time we live in. > Either everyone feels like this just a little bit and they’re not talking about it, or I am completely fucking alone. Which isn’t fucking funny. - Fleabag

If you want to meet lots of people, start meeting them. Meetups, volunteering, sports, hobbies. So many opportunities.
