The loneliest person I know has loads of friends

-

A friend of mine has been struggling with loneliness.

He has friends, goes out regularly, and talks to people most days.

But he told me the other week that he feels lonely a lot of the time, and it’s been getting worse.

The funny thing is I probably spend far more time alone than he does.

I work from home, I write alone, I often go for walks alone, and most of my days involve very few conversations with other humans.

But I can’t remember the last time I felt lonely.

Years ago, yes. Loneliness used to find me pretty regularly.

Since then, something changed. And it wasn’t my social calendar.

Looking back, I see the real change was how I understood my own thinking. When that shifted, loneliness became rare.

I stopped treating every quiet evening as evidence that something was wrong with me.

My friend doesn’t have a loneliness problem.

He has a thinking problem, and no amount of dinner plans will fix it.
