My last doc insisted I was lonely. I don't like the term, so I said "alone is different than lonely". I have enough distractions, I was explaining to him, that I don't get all upset about the fact that I spend most of my time alone, with few friends. I can only think of one friend I have right now, outside of family, and I see them somewhere between zero and three times per year.

This is that community (if you missed it). i'm here (as I tried to indicate too) because I'm not comfortable with the idea of loneliness, although I very much am. The word scares me and makes me feel inferior, so I try not to say it.
I feel like I made myself lonely, though. I used to hate being around people, usually because I would be criticized, attacked, bullied, and beat-up by others in school. Now I crave those days some times.

I'm afraid of being lonely so I surround myself with people. I don't mind being alone I think that's different it's the feeling of needing company when it's not available that's hard. I work as a professional artist so my hours are fairly arbitrary I sometimes have days when I'd really like to see some friends, any friends, and just hang out for no reason except because we enjoy each others company, maybe watch movies or go for a long walk and have deep meaningful conversations. It's not that I never have this but sometimes, like today, when all I've got is time but everyone I know has to work or study or already have plans. The fact that I don't drink or do any drugs can make this hard too, I don't get invited to many parties.
