You are not alone
But you might feel alone
There's a worldwide loneliness epidemic more real than covid ever was
The temptation is to seek companionship the way you might seek food - to fulfill a craving
As you probably know, that doesn't work
The other person becomes an object
Naturally, they lose interest
or if they don't, both of you develop a co-dependent relationship that doesn't really satisfy
There are ways to be with other people that work
And ways to be alone that work also
Each of us must find that balance within
Bless you, anon.
