It takes time and effort to overcome these things. I used to feel lonely when I was younger, as I thought I needed someone around at all times.
Now, there’s so many things to do solo, I enjoy my alone time. It’s all in the way you look at it sometimes.
Spend time getting to like yourself and find hobbies that you like. It just sort of works out that others with similar interests are around. I volunteer with animals. That’s a great way to not be lonely.
