Learn to be comfortable alone, and then learn to be comfortable alone around others. Like, by urban exploring, eating or hanging out in public places, or reading in a park.

I'm right on the line between extrovert and introvert. I love to be around people and crave thoughtful interaction, but I also need a ton of time for introspection. The activities I've listed are nice day-to-day things to do when I don't have anyone to call.

If you can learn to be comfortable with your own company, you're basically set. Loneliness must be so much harder for extroverts.

It depends on the kind of loneliness. Sometimes I just sit with it. Literally. I'm lonely and I just accept it as there. Other times, I reach out to talk to people and ask to come along when they're doing something. It's okay to acknowledge loneliness and to ask for help and connection directly. So at times I do.

Your probably physically unattractive.

i guess it is a trade-off for some people. being intelligent enough to discern the difference between you're/your or being physically attractive.

Telling someone you don't know and can't see that she is probably physically unattractive is helpful in what way exactly? I'm really interested in this one. Explain your intent.

My intent was honesty.

How often do you see attractive guys whine on internet forums that they can't get any?
