Ask HN: I’m So Lonely
by DevToRecruiter on Hacker News.
I don’t know if this is the right place for this but here are my stats. I’m a 32yo male, divorced with 2 kids whom I have little access to at the moment. My childhood friendships have withered, my divorce left me untrusting of women (at least for now). I work alone and don’t have many opportunities to meet new people organically. The thing is I don’t even like hanging out with people most of the time but I get into this space where it feels like a biological necessity. Does anyone have any tips on how to give myself attention? Or, in other words, how can I learn to be alone without feeling lonely? I feel like I need this lifeskill in order to proceed in my life. I have a pattern of loneliness pushing me into making very foolish decisions.
