Hi will19
Loneliness is naturally scary for us, human beings, who are supposed to be social by nature. Society in the way is working now does not help us to be social, though. Of course, as we see many other people being surrounded by others, we feel we are weird and outcast. It is more and more difficult to reach out other people for me now. However, I have discovered that I am not doing all my part. I don't know why I have raised the bar of my caution, that is not good to make new friends, to reach out, to enforce existing relationships. I am trying to be more open and not to let my negative to interfere that much. I do not know if your loneliness is related to fear, caution, or something like that but I find mine is. Hope you feel better and recover from your procedure soon
