I went through the exact same thing... and honestly, it takes a long time—longer than you’d expect—to realize that you're essentially just wallowing in self-pity. There's even a strange, quiet sort of comfort in it, if you're being honest. I used to spend my time hitting up the beach alone or catching a movie by myself; 186 miles even though I have a girlfriend now who is a bit shorter than me, I spent a lot of time flying solo before we met. These days, I don't really seek out much of a social circle either. I often find myself thinking that this whole cycle only starts to shift once you finally stop fighting it and just accept it.
That’s the real lesson here, I think. Because if you can't stand being in your own company, how are you ever going to be able to stand anyone else's?
