Loneliness is a determined, skilled, dangerous dealer.
And like every dealer, it has exactly one goal — to keep its customers weak, dependent, hungry for more, addicted.
And alone.
A person who judges themselves through the lens of loneliness believes a distorted, partial picture of who they are — and lets a caricature demolish all the wonderful things they could be.
Believing a lie is believing a lie is believing a lie. In this case: a psychological lie you tell yourself.
