i was the first grandchild/cousin, oldest sibling, weird kid etc etc so i know how to make the most of time by myself. and i do value my alone time! but i am very sick of people telling me that i need to learn to enjoy time by myself when i express frustration in not having many friends close by and/or interested in the same things as me.
most of my friends are long distance or simply enjoy different things than me. and thats fine! but it’s also fine for me to want to go to a concert with someone or go to a museum and have someone to talk about the art with. also it’s ok for me to want a romantic smooch or a held hand every once in a while. it does not mean i don’t love myself it just means i am human!
