The slightest insinuation that you’re lonely normally brings with it a slap on the back and the stereotypical, “You need to be happy with yourself before you get into a relationship” line. Which is kind of a rude assumption when you think about it. Throwing around huge over-encompassing words like happy or satisfied with qualifiers like “with” and “by” can easily lead you into a semantic graveyard. I can be happy with myself, but not be happy by myself. Viewing any single thing as the cure all for every different person’s loneliness is not a helpful idea. You might just send someone on psychological goose chase. I don’t know why, but when some things are said they come off as if they’re asking for advice even when they aren’t. Saying “I’m lonely” to some people looks like a neon lit billboard on Las Vegas boulevard with giant flashing words that read “Give Advice” with a giant arrow pointing downward. However, In all seriousness though, people just want to help and you can’t get too upset and them for caring.</p>
