Love and loneliness. Two sides of the same coin. In my experience, loneliness is the result of externalizing love —seeing at something outside of yourself. However frustrating, I believe it is true that we must first love ourselves. When we first love ourself, something wonderful happens. We start taking better care of ourselves, and a chain reaction of positive effects begin to happen. This in turn inspires others to “love” us simply for being happy with ourselves. It’s very similar to the notion of the law of attraction. Difficult as it may be, try to cultivate love from within. And if that is challenging for you, I would encourage you to look into the awe and wonder of things bigger than ourselves. Religion, spirituality, meditation…etc. I’m not trying to shill you one viewpoint or another, simply to realize that life is precious and we are incredible living beings with the most agency and potential of any other known living entity. I believe loneliness, and boredom for that matter, come as a consequence of forgetting how incredibly amazing, capable and unique we all are. Easy to do in our modern world full of materialism and abstraction. So love yourself, OP.

Plus, if you’re a on SN you’re clearly a smart person who understands Bitcoin. While I don’t even know you, I know you already have a lot going for you!

Go outside, connect with nature “touch grass” and love yourself. Good things will happen 💛
