I've recently gone through a breakup and yes loneliness does suck. Hell it's been more than two months and I'm still thinking of her all the time. Anyways, most of this thread is depressing so I'll leave with something a little more happy
I'm becoming increasingly okay with being alone 90% of the time. You just have to find fun things to occupy yourself with. I actually find having more than one social thing per week stresses me out. Plus I'm planning to move out into the countryside within the next couple of years for the peqace, quiet and nature.
Wow, I really like your post. Are you really that lonely IRL? If so, the TL community will always be there for you! I wish I could contribute by putting my own view on loneliness in this post, but all the ones you have are exceptional.
I feel fortunate to not be acquainted with that feeling. I can certainly count on one hand the amount of times I've felt lonely, and they've last no more than a few hours each time.
If it was me a few months ago I would've been like, what an emo blog... But I've gone through some things recently and I really can't believe how much the words in the OP touched me. Teared up going through the pages... Welp, at least we're not alone.
Loneliness is accomplishing something really neat and having no one to enthusiastically talk about it with.
Story of my life. And so, I accomplish things entirely for myself nowadays. Maybe it's not the right way to fix loneliness, but other people just don't make me happy anymore.

I understand what some are saying about how being alone is nice, however loneliness is different from being alone by choice.
No it isn't. Loneliness only makes you feel like you don't have a choice. That's why it's horrible. The truth is that you could be doing all sorts of things to overcome the loneliness. Maybe not immediately, but if you spend time trying to meet people then eventually you'll find a friend or someone who could be more than that.
