This whole conundrum is cooked tbh

Think about it. We’re lonely. It doesn’t feel bad at first, but we get depressed as time goes on. As a result, we stay in our houses when we can.

Then when we actually try to fix the issue, everyone else already has their own friends and doesn’t need us. If not, they do talk to us but then ghost. Hence we feel like it was maybe a mistake and we should stop trying. Then go back in our homes.

The fastest way to fix this would be finding other lonely people, but you can’t find them because they’re always going to be in the house. As a result, most people outside already have a social life so were not gonna really fit in when we do go out. And being lonely for so long also screws over your social skills. People will sense the awkwardness and depression, and not want to be close with you. Then you regret it and go home, cycle repeats. If no one gives you a chance, how in the world do you beat loneliness? Especially since most lonely people aren’t even around for you to start a conversation?
