Dear human, it must have been difficult for you to share this but I appreciate you for doing so. It sounds like you’re going through a tough time dealing with loneliness and depression. Wanting to connect with other people is a basic human need but when this doesn’t happen due to certain barriers/obstacles it might result in feeling lonely, negative thoughts related to it and depression. Although, few people desire to be alone always by enjoying their own company, whereas few others enjoy other people’s company. Loneliness could also be due to factors like low self-esteem, self-doubts, distorted self-image, low self confidence, etc. Also these factors might lead to repetitive negative thoughts, stress and depression. This can be resolved through exploring your thoughts patterns and your interpersonal relationship dynamics through therapy. Always do remember that you’re not flawed in any way, it’s just a temporary thought shift which could be resolved. Please do not blame yourself by thinking that you’re different or flawed, you’re an amazing person in your own way.
