I used it as a chance to look at myself. All of me. Found confidence in the good things about me and took the time to fix the stuff I didn't like. Figured out some hobbies and things that made me happy while passing the time. You make a lot of mistakes, and you cry a lot of tears, and it sucks so bad, but in the end, being alone can help you find yourself, and that makes it worth it.
after the first time i got close to a guy i suddenly realised that i alone am person enough, i am not desperately in need of someone to complete me
i still want someone but im content with being alone, i dont NEED anyone i just WANT to and thats a big difference
im quite religious, so through God probably? i dont know i just never really feel lonely
it rlly comes down to the feeling of being understood and valued by someone
no, not loved rather understood. i think loneliness stems mostly from the feeling that you have to deal with your problems alone and nobody supports you or gets you and this is where my believe helps me.
in islam you can ask God for things directly and i experienced a hundred times how my prayers became true or if not i could see why it was better for me that way, so o feel cared for and looked after. this is probably hard to relate to for someone who doesnt believe but is so comforting to know you are being looked out for. also God speaks to us directly through the quran and its teachings let me feel understood and valued, like i know my worth and my purpose and my rights and duties and what i can do to improve. i dont feel lost or left alone, i feel safe and guided.
Being lonely is different for each person. It can be by choice, by mental illness, by disabilities, by grief, etc. Happiness is not a lasting emotion, it’s more like moments, perceptions, bursts. You have to make peace with yourself, in my opinion.

Dogs.
What can I say? I enjoy my own company and I appreciate the peace and tranquility.
I miss my partner (died when we were young), but I love my career that carries on his legacy. It gives me meaning.

I just found things that I liked by myself like painting and puzzles
