I just wanna throw out there that
interacting with people is not the same
as making friends and being out in publlic does not immediately
equate to having fun and if somone is lonely the solution is not
always "Quit feeling sorry for yourself and go out and do
something" because chances are the type of lonely that
person is experiencing is not "Wow I want to be around
people" as much as it is "I really wish I had a real,
deep connection with someone right now"
