.
Loneliness can come like an unwelcome visitor in the middle of the night and overstay their welcome! Pulling you down like quicksand and making it feel impossible to get out.
Do you wish that more people reached out more? But when they do, for some reason you still find yourself staying at home after making up some random excuse?
Or when you reach out to them, it feels like they are always “busy,” leaving you feeling bad, wondering why you even bothered in the first place?
Does it feel stressful to hang with friends, maybe even awkward sometimes?

And the constantly scrolling and binge-watching netflix to keep the boredom and lonely feelings away causes you to isolate even more.
You might even get pissed at yourself for not doing the basic self-help tips that all the blogs suggest: join a new group, volunteer, reach out to new/old friends?
