I'm becoming more and more convinced that being able to share secrets with someone (the last point by the author) is the most important aspect not feeling lonely. Knowing that someone cares about you enough to listen to your problems, and respect you enough to not blab them everyone means that you aren't in this alone.
- scotty79 13y agoSharing painful secrets anonymously with random disposable strangers on the internet via chatroom helped me a lot when I had to un-love a girl and had no friends to help me go through this. After less than a year of such chats when I felt especially sad and lonely I got bored with my own sad story and people in general and I was cured of my loneliness.
- blah32497 13y agoOne thing I'd highly recommend is looking at is: 1 what are* your secrets 2 is there a way you can make it so you have fewer of them secrets are incredibly parasitic and ultimately stressful. There was a recent post on HN about this (though 90% of the comments missed the point he was making) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6891311 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6891311
