Re: Here's some advice

To be fair, you are being kind of condescending and not really all that helpful, imo. I think it's good for everyone to have friends, but if a person really doesn't need real life friends to make them happy, then they don't. It would never work for me, or for pretty much anyone I know - even the most of the introverts I know get lonely if they have literally no human contact. But who am I to say that nobody like that exists?

You have good intentions and your original comment did have a point. But you sound like you're being kind of closed-minded. Most people here who actually want a "real" social life would at least be open about it, I think, and say that they're lonely. I've seen that happen many times. What reason does an anon on the Internet have to lie about something like that?

Of course if anyone here really is lonely but maybe just too afraid to meet people, then I hope they find a way to get better on that. I really do. But maybe not everyone who is alone is necessarily lonely. That isn't someone else's call to make.

Anonymous people fibbing on the internet? Never!

I guess the problem is that the "I'm perfectly happy with no physical-space friends, I have the internet" is exactly what I would have said at seventeen while falling into a deep dark depression and the belief that nobody could possibly really like me who'd met me in person, I'm only likable in text, blah blah blah.

The problem with so-called safe spaces on the internet is that they turn into feelings echo-chambers where whatever the OP says is bounced back at them with warm and fuzzy language. "It's okay. Maybe you don't need hugs. Just talk to people about comics some more."

OP, you're getting both sides here. Only you know if you're actually lonely. Maybe this is just something about not liking to party. I hope that's true.

Walden was a book about the value of lots of alone time, but Thoreau still got visitors.

Re: Here's some advice

Fair point. I really hope that people who are lonely are able to recognize that and get help, and that people who aren't lonely can continue being happy as they are.

I don't think OP was one of those people without any kind of social life, though, so I'm not sure why you're directing all this directly at them? Didn't they say they had hobbies and friends, they just preferred to spend more of their time alone and not go to big parties?
