Well, I feel kind of stranded lately with so much loneliness. Maybe, it's been with me for a long time... How do people deal with such thing? Really, I don't know. I have a younger brother in my family and as far as I can remember he has always had tons of friends and keeps maintaining them up to this present day. When there were problems at home I could see him go out with his friends and confront problems in a more positive way. Meanwhile, I have always been kind of a loner. I mean, I have had good friends but I don't have a group of them keeping more to myself and being shy. When there were problems at home, I was just be in my room all alone and would even shun others to be next to me. Has this happened to anybody out there?

Clearly, loneliness affects me. I mean, when my social skills lie beneath me i feel like I'm one step behind everyone. It's hard to get a good job this way, because of course people value what u appear to be and if you are not socially fit it's hard unless you overcome shyness. Lacking of social skills in my case, I think people around me sense me as an insecure personality. And really, it is quite true since I feel that way.

Are there any solutions? Could you share with me your experience to overcome loneliness?
