Hello and Good Evening Everyone,
I read a quote the other day which goes like this. "Loneliness is your soul wanting to make friends with itself". This quote really is eye-catching but I am unsure what conclusions to draw from it. That said, could someone share some thoughts regarding possible interpretations of this quote?

Hello and Good Morning Everyone,
Thank you, everyone, for sharing your insightful thoughts regarding this question. While I can not speak entirely from my friend's perspective, I do believe that change, good or bad, first and foremost takes place from within and works outward. That said, I believe that loneliness is a negative by-product of the self-defeating thoughts that we give ourselves in relation to others. Helping someone struggling with loneliness should be about targeting their self-defeating and negative thoughts and helping to change them to more self-promoting and positive thoughts.

so the actual thing that makes you unhappy should be looked for - and corrected if possible
but i think you can interpret it in many ways
