Hi,
I'm trying to understand the phenomenon loneliness, what it does to a person, and the social consequences it brings (sorry for eventual spelling mishaps, this is my second language).
Do you have any reading tips? Essays, books, novels, news paper articles, feature texts? Or even a documentary on the subject?
Needless to say: I, too, am lonely. And I don't know why. I don't think I've chosen it, at least not actively; but friends have never returned my calls, and after a while, they all seem to grow tired of me.
Guess I'm luckier than many others out there, since I'm married, and have a parents and siblings I sometimes keep in touch with (they live three worlds away, though). But I still feel worthless.
Since I've decided to consider myself a lone wolf, everything seems a bit easier though ... I no longer actively pursuit friendships or contacts. Guess I'll have to pay for that negligence later on, with my physical and psychological health.
Anyway, that's slightly off topic What I really want is your recommendations about literature.
