      That's what I would call negative self talk. Don't tell yourself such things. There's always someone out there who can enjoy your company. Sometimes we like people enough to overlook other things that might be off-putting. If you're thinking those negative thoughts you're limiting yourself and not giving people a chance to see who you are.

    DEFINITION:
    Loneliness - Surrounded by people still feeling left alone in the world. Given not chosen.
    Solitude - Not surrounded by people, but feeling the whole world is within you (not seeking anything outwardly). Chosen not given.
    I pray that everyone lives in peace 😊

    "Our suffering stems from ignorance. We react because we do not know what we are doing, because we do not know the reality of ourselves. The mind spends most of the time lost in fantasies and illusions, reliving pleasant or unpleasant experiences and anticipating the future with eagerness or fear. While lost in such cravings or aversions, we are unaware of what is happening now, what we are doing now. Yet surely this moment, now, is the most important for us. We cannot live in the past; it is gone. Nor can we live in the future; it is forever beyond our grasp. We can live only in the present.
    If we are unaware of our present actions, we are condemned to repeating the mistakes of the past and can never succeed in attaining our dreams for the future. But if we can develop the ability to be aware of the present moment, we can use the past as a guide for ordering our actions in the future, so that we may attain our goal.
    Dhamma is the path of the present moment. Therefore we must develop our ability to be aware of the present moment”

      ¿right? i found it quite doubtfull the simptoms of the video, can be related to many other plausible causes and are relatable. Different levels of loneliness, perhaps this is on the lowest level, stroke and heart dissease might be extreme. It is not said % of people who acknowledge loneliness get this and what degree of loneliness is that. So if ur reading this dont be bothered ur probably just doing fine.

    Not true for introverted people! Some people get migraine atrack after social interactions. Superficial interactions are draining. If a person is in a toxic family system in that case it'd be better to stay isolated until they relocate themselves to a safer environment, where they feel seen, heard and valued.

    There are millions and millions of people who don't need or seek out other people, you call them lone wolves. They like to sit and think deeply without distraction away from the chattering classes. Loneliness comes from within the person themselves, no interests, no foundation, nothing but the yearning for other people's gossip and/or approval. Nine billion people on the planet and they are lonely. smh

    She might have mentioned depression and loss of appetite. I have been alone, except for work, since stupid COVID ruined my life by my friends moving out of the city, and our favorite bar closing. Many of those friends had nothing to do during the lockdown but have sex, so they all now have babies and no time to go out drinking. COVID destroyed my social life. Now when I am not working, I sit alone in the dark, in my bedroom and surf the UA-cam and stuff, looking for anything that will make me happy. It sucks.

Does he not have the power to stop that? So the all powerful thing is not real then. So he is not a god. Religion is about as good as a golf club, or a bowling league. It is actually worse in most ways, except that it does encourage civic participation in helping others. Unfortunately, it is also used by some to manipulate others into the opposite. Religion is garbage made to manipulate the weak.
