this is very important! It's easy to judge yourself based on the past, but what matters is who you are now. And the person you are now deserves to be happy. It can be easy to let those thoughts get to your head. You call yourself a "loner" but that doesn't have to define you .

I'm sorry you're going through these feelings, macd. And it's hard to change feelings of loneliness when you are, in fact, alone. (That's why I logged onto PC forums today...)

I think it would be good to come up with strategies for how to deal with loneliness. Even people with tons of friends get lonely... sometimes all your friends are busy, out of town, etc. I usually watch Netflix/Hulu, but there's gotta be healthier methods.
