I think accepting it is the first step. If I was more talented in web design I would like to start a website for people who have realized being alone is best for them. At least right now, at least in this point in the world. IMHO the balance has shifted to an excessive belief in fun through friends and lovers and those of use who notice that they are severely lacking feel depressed.
I think the reality is that in years past humans had very few opportunities to be with each other. There were limited ways to converse, limited ability to meet up with others due to distance... and so society was always... more is better. Also people had much better manners -- bred into them since birth.
But now people are everyplace with HORRIBLE manners and selfish horrible ways and for the most part, they are horrific. Bust mostly we still have this idea that people are the answer.
Accept that you don't need people (and you don't) in such every 10 minutes ways... and that life can be fun and interesting on your own. Explore all those things that interested you... but are alone... get a pet.. learn to stay indoors more...
Since deciding this I have
- spent more time on my finances.. using the time i used to spend with other people improving my finances... taking up an offer at a bank to open an account.
- working on my home. Decorating or painting. The job well done is gratifying.
- playing with my cat...
- exploring cooking.
Dive into yourself and stop using that energy on others.
