If you’re lonely is it best to be alone or around someone you dislike?
Just moved to a new part of town a few days ago, I had no friends before as is, but the quarantine and move has done nothing but amplify my loneliness ten fold. I feel really uncomfortable and almost unbearably lonely, I’m a 21 year old girl and I’m able to make friends when I have a job, it’s not an issue on *making* friends. (But I’ve never had a close friend, and I just lost my job and can’t find another one.)
The only people I talk to besides some family, are two boys. One was a really annoying coworker acquaintance and the other I met recently and don’t know well at all. They’re not terrible to be around but I can tell they’re both extremely clingy and probably want to date me and not just be friends. I’m not interested although they’re ok to have conversation with. I’m so lonely I’m having a hard time trying to figure out what’s best: Hanging out with one of them to feel less alone even though I don’t really like either of them, or just staying alone till I find somebody i actually want to be around. What do you think?
Edit:
Hello snowflakes that keep commenting about how they love being alone, you might find this really hard to believe but I’m an introvert and have spent almost literally my entire life alone. I don’t need comments saying you love being alone because I don’t care and share the same perspective. I’m just looking for advice on how to cope with such loneliness when going through a very transitional time period when you have nobody and no familiarity with anything. If you want to stroke your ego about how special you are go write a fucking blog, there’s a HUGE difference in spending most of your time alone and being lonely, get the hell over yourselves. Not sure how you clicked on this and interpreted my question as a post about you you egomaniacs
