Does reading help with loneliness? What do you do when you're lonely?

"When I am attacked by gloomy thoughts, nothing helps me so much as running to my books. They quickly absorb me and banish the clouds from my mind." -Michel de Montagne

It keeps your mind busy with something so that you don’t worry about your loneliness so much. But don’t neglect human interaction. Books aren’t actual friend substitutes

Many try discounting de Montaigne just because he pissed off a few people, but the man was centuries ahead of his time. So based, red-pilled and underrated that few others match him.

This is not even /lit/.
I tried making friends but I just feel indifferent to it. Like it's boring and pointless. All you do is exchange greetings, talk about some topic then compliment(fake) each other.

Is this by the same cunt that did "Oh Maidens in your Savage Season"?

I forget if the author herself was a dyke, but Oh Maidens in your Savage Season is about teen girls in a literary club (ironic) discovering their sexuality, and you have girls that are seemingly disgusted by it, others that are curious, and of course, you have a dyke in the mix as well.

There is so much more to friendship. This reduction strips away all the things that make it worth it and leaves nothing but a indifferent husk that doesn't represent the strength of social bonds.
You've thrown away the baby and kept the bathwater.
