  • You aren’t worthless and you can grow as a person thru lonely times.

    It might’ve been easier for me going thru it as a teen. I was pulled from school and homeschooled, in the Texas countryside. I slowly lost every friend I had in school and there was literally no one else to talk to but my family.

    I have a great family, but it wasn’t a warm family. My mother was a very stern and logical woman and my father worked out of town a lot.

    They both loved me, but my point is I spent years entirely alone.

    I took walks and read books. It got easier.

    Decades later I’m still kind of a loner but entirely by choice. As an adult I get flirted with and hit on often. I’m very careful about who I date because I don’t need it. I’m fine being alone now, I only date someone if they are adding something to my life.

    It gets easier being alone, you eventually start to prefer it.
