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.

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?
