it just occurred to me that i never really had a single close friend my whole life, someone who i could rely on, to share problems with, to talk about anything with. i’ve just gone through all these years alone, by myself. all the friends i’ve ever made or had in highschool were just superficial, nothing but acquaintances or friendships of utility.
after being socially isolated for almost 2 years now, i lie in bed, imagining what it must be like to have someone to experience life together with. i’ve become acclimatised to being alone so much so that i’m now only realising the extent to which i’m lacking companionship, but i guess it’s the new norm since gen z is the loneliest generation.
i’ve concluded a long time ago that close relationships brought lots of meaning to an individual’s life, but i feel like i’ve been behaviourally reinforced to prefer loneliness. 99% of my past social experiences have not been fruitful, and being alone is so much more preferable.
does it bother you that you don’t have someone to experience life together with as you age?
