Like, I'm alone for past seven months. I indulge in music. Sometimes I get drunk. With measure I set for myself. Every ten days. This is not constructive. Though, I made a list of things I want to do. I've also decided to stay alone cos I have trust issues. I'm gonna be just fine. There are plenty people like me, hurt. I can have friends. Share opinions. Cohabit. That's fine. No morning coffee with somebody you love? Okay. Love is a rarity that gets to those who are fortunate.

Though I’m married now, when I was single I loved being alone.

I indulged heavily in crafts; sewing, knitting, painting. I recovered yard sale furniture in vintage fabrics. I painted furniture, too.

I never had to stop what I was doing to take care of other people’s needs, which bugs me when I’m immersed in something creative.

It's okay if you're not happy alone. Humans are social creatures and we NEED people. That's why isolation is used as torture in prison.

Look outside of your town for friends. A social circle is extremely important and part of leveling up. Look for pen pals, long distance friendships, phone friends, etc. You can even travel during the weekend to cool places and hang out while you're in town!

I personally found books to be a great way to feel less alone, when my friendships weren’t healthy. I also actively focused on my health and eating, as socializing around food is an issue for me.
