Thank you for this comment! I appreciated reading it.

Loneliness, I won't call it a phase, per se, yet, I've come to believe it is a common, devastating, human condition/feeling we all encounter, and the (fortunate?) among us eventually come to terms with, if not accept, then recognize and acknowledge it. I remember, in my own youth,

And I get extremely lonely, to the point all I want to is scream in frustration and anger. But whenever I talk to other people, and am surrounded by them, the attention does not do anything, it doesn't alleviate the pain.

It's like how puberty sucks and cannot be avoided IRL, and to try otherwise causes innumerable complications. You'll notice people who never dealt with their loneliness, they can be uncomfortable to be around.

In the 1930s, Thomas Wolfe wrote an insightful essay about loneliness, "God's Lonely Man," which can be found in this digitized version of "The Thomas Wolfe Reader": http://www.survivorlibrary.com/library/thomas_wolfe_reader_1962.pdf
