A majority of you who are "lonely" or sad because you are single are unhappy with your lives. A relationship, an S/O, or a spouse, should not make you happy. You've watched too many chick flicks. Getting into a relationship, or staying in a relationship, because the other person makes you happy is asking for codependency problems.

A normal, healthy relationship is one in which both people are independent and happy without each other. When together, they enhance each other's lives through compatibility.

Please, become happy before you enter in a relationship with someone else. It's not fair on them, and it's not their responsibility to make you happy. It's your responsibility to make yourself happy. Live for yourself.
There is a lot more to introversion than just anxiety. Environment, depression, confidence and shyness all play a part. Not being able to relate to people you are around can cause people to be quiet too, which is part of the environment. If it was just anxiety it would be much easier to socialize. I wish that was the only problem i have.

I think the spirit of your advice is good and important.

If someone wants to overcome loneliness (as I plan to) I think it's better to develop social hobbies and a social circle, rather than looking for a romantic relationship.

I also think it's better to frame creating positive connections as meeting a need, rather than 'looking for someone to make you happy'. The need is independent of the person.

Tony Robbins here presents a practical model of human needs. (Practical meaning that's easy to identify your which needs of yours aren't being met)

1 Certainty/Predictability.

2 Uncertainty/Variety.

3 Significance.

4 Love/Connection.

5 Growth.

6 Positive contribution.

Ya there are a few people who I used to be really close to and I don't really talk to them anymore. Sometimes you think about those people and wonder what happened. I'll probably reach out at some point.

Reflects my sentiments. You shouldn't need to have a partner, but wanting one and have both of you enjoy each others company while also not being dependent on one another = ultimate relationship. Too many people rely on a partner, they have little personal interest or REAL hobbies. Being uncomfortable by yourself isn't good, you should be able to live your whole life happy alone but also happy with with a partner. Sadly what happens is anyone who is fine by themselves are labelled as weird, when the oddness really comes from having to feed off someone else in order to function properly.

Bumping this bitch. Definitely realized the importance of being social. If you're too lonely for too long you fall into that little rut thats hard to climb out of

They need to mimic a substance like nicotine, because it makes you social no matter who you are. It would solve everyone's problems.

Like any other label or category people are going to be somewhere in between the too extremes. i think its unfair to say introversion or extroversion dont exist. I think if someone has many introverted its acceptable to label them selves in the category that fits.

i am introverted and have social anxiety they are not mutually exclusive. in saying that my anxiety does hinder the part of me that does want me social connections however as an introvert I still need me time to 'recharge'

It takes two to tango. IF you are lonely then find someone. If you are in an abusive relationship than leave. You alone are in control here. Only you can make yourself go outside and meet people. Only you can change your habits and become constructive. Do what is best for you, even if it kills you, but do not forget about others.
