Oh right, hi again, it’s been a while, I’m sorry for being gone for so long, it’s been an interesting year.
But let’s get straight to the point. Being lonely vs. being alone.
I used to think and used to be comfortable with choosing to be alone. I always had friends, but as an introvert, I enjoyed having time to myself. To think, to wonder, to just be without the presence of another person. Things have changed though.
I recently moved into my dorm, and I finally for the first time in many years, have my OWN room. The thought of it was exciting at first. But then I actually moved in, and 3 days in, I’m starting to feel lonely…
?
It’s honestly kind of strange, I haven’t ever felt lonely before. I’ve definitely felt bored, but I have never or at least don’t remember ever feeling lonely, wishing that I could just be with someone, no matter what time of the day or what I’m doing.
Maybe I got used to being with my parents all the time. I’m not really sure.
As of now, I’m going to try to distract this feeling of loneliness by getting stuff done. Like stuff I actually need and want to do. So here I am!
What are your thoughts on lonliness and being alone? Is there a difference between the two for you?
Until next time,
