I was waiting for that Wilco song. Loneliness is hard. There's three shows that I think do a great portraying it, by the way, Louie, Master of None, and Bojack Horseman. Solitude is something to seek and enjoy, but there is a difference between solitude and loneliness. There are a few things that happen when I get prohibitively lonely. Getting out the house to go do something, anything, helps a lot. Reading, video games, immersing myself in something that is particularly real is a good distraction from that crushing feeling. I find that loneliness is a good reason to get in touch with people you haven't recently been in touch with. I do think that loneliness spawns some of the deepest creativity anybody can ask for. Just ask Edward Hopper.
