That makes sense. I thought I had solitude for the longest time, but then I met someone whose workplace friendship was unexpected. I kind of fell hard (platonically) and they pulled back. Suddenly being alone was a problem when it wasn't before, but maybe I never really had solitude if I lost myself that way. Thanks for sharing this.

mustacheblues it’s hard because i truly believe we are all wired to need human connection, but the way society is set up (at least where i live) it’s so hard to maintain consistent connections, so ya almost have to have a certain level of acceptance to it in order to not feel the loneliness so palpably

are there any specific changes you've made or new things you've been doing to lean into the solitude?
shaar i’ve been trying to build/explore my inner world more - reading more, journaling, exploring my past/present, who i want to be, etc. i think working towards creating a real sense of identity within myself has helped make being alone feel less daunting and has given me more of a ”core” to fall back on when i’m going through it. also just trusting n believing that it’s very unlikely i’ll be alone forever, but even if somehow i am it doesn’t mean that my life is loveless by any means!
