sounds cheesy, but it helps me to think about how solitude and loneliness can be different. it’s hard not to compare esp when passing big friend groups on campus, but there’s power in alone time as well—room for self improvement, self discovery, new hobbies/experiences, etc. and finding those things could give you points to better connect with others! you’re not any less worthy because of your friend circle size and you’re not alone. i promise it’ll pass, and the right people will come to stay
