Loneliness is not something I ever thought I would experience, but in recent years we’ve become great friends.
Admitting that you are lonely is a tough thing to do because society insists that to be a good person you must be outgoing, popular, have strong friendships and be seen out and about enjoying yourself on a regular basis. Well, that’s how I always interpreted society’s expectations of me.
But then I was always outgoing. My mother used to say that from a very early age I always loved a good party, which was true. I never had trouble developing good friendships with lots of people. So much so that I never stopped to do a friend count or question if I had enough people in my life. I just had lots of friends, lucky me. I don’t think I ever stopped to think about loneliness and how it affects people.
