My friend! Are you alright? What do you need help in?

Coping with loneliness is very personality-specific. For example, I was bullied most of my early school life and quite lonely as a child. I developed an introspective personality and acclimated to the lack of human contact. As a result, I can live alone in my own little world for an indefinite amount of time, but I do occasionally feel pangs of separation from my parents.

(This is not to say I can go without ever seeing or talking to a human. That would drive most sane people spare. What I mean is that I don't feel the compelling need to have one in my life.)

I occasionally wonder if I would like having someone constantly be in my life, but then I realize I probably wouldn't. I love my own thoughts - my own little world - the rich daydreams that come with the silence - far too much. Narcissistic? Perhaps. But it's just part of my personality. Not something I can easily change, and I'm not sure I want to change it either.

I'd wager that it's very different to change your personality later in life to effectively cope with loneliness. This is why it's such a big deal to so many normal people. It's not something you can "deal" with.
