Feelings of loneliness are weridly refreshing. I'm able to identify that I don't want to be away from people all the time! I've had this goal to isolate myself less, reach out to people more, and identifying loneliness as a distinct thing is something I can use to provoke myself to do that. Sometimes I forget that it's okay to just casually socialize with people and that it is okay to have motives to do so, and loneliness is a motive that is okay to act upon in such a way.
