First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who's responded and welcomed me. I've read through all of it and will continue to do so.
Now...
You have to get out of your comfort zone and go meet people or do new things.
I think it's important to say that I'm over this. It's not that I won't meet new people or do new things. It's not that there are no people in my life whom I love or that I'm not going to go out there and do things socially. It's just that loneliness for me and lots of other people is no longer a matter of how I feel, but of what I am. It's not a moment in time or a place in space. It is time and it is space. Relationships come and go, friendships never last much more than a year. Life washes such things away just like the sea, and loving them won't change the fact that loneliness is the only thing I know will always accompany me.
But once I admit to myself that the next friend I meet is also one of the next friendships I'll lose, that the person who loves me now is he next person who will avoid me in the street, that everything is born, lives, decays and dies: I also become capable of seen the complete picture of what it means to be lonely and how to create a life in which I'm relatively happy besides that. Is anyone else capable of relating to this line of thought?
Although I can't particularly recommend that you just accept your loneliness, I think that having and setting goals for yourself in life would be a beneficial way of coping with loneliness. Are there any things that you would like to accomplish before you die? If so, write them down, and ease yourself into the process of doing those things.
Yes, yes. There are many dreams I'd like to see fulfilled, even if I must let go of a number of them that are incompatible to a life of recurring solitude. Accomplishing what I can, one by one, is a great idea and there are many things wonderful things to see and do that do not necessarily involve other people. I'd like to travel the world, try dishes from everywhere, watch at least 50 movies a year and improve my health.
(I highly recommend practicing photography, as it can help you notice the loveliness in small things around you.)
I'd love to get into that someday. I think that's highly compatible to the approach I'm currently developing towards things, which is to see myself as a sort of "tourist" in this world. A tourist doesn't have the social or cultural obligations that a resident of a destination does, although he or she doesn't enjoy the same privileges either. So I'll be trying to feel like I'm just visiting this earth, trying to capture what is beautiful about it in my memory before I leave. It doesn't have to be the most genuine and first degree experience, the same way you can visit an Inuit community without becoming Inuit yourself. But you can still feel touched by it and consider it a valid experience. I guess?
That's all for now. Thank you all for being kind to me.
