Books themselves not only make embracing loneliness bearable, but also preferable once you're no longer 'lonely'

The Anatomy of Loneliness. Don’t be lonely. Talk to people, you will feel better. Even if it’s embarrassing. Some will like you and you will like some. Loneliness gets boring

Perhaps Schopenhauer? This quote really speaks to me. Also his hedgehog dilemma.

You don’t need a book, just time to accept it and stop kidding yourself. Hobbies and other things to fill the time, and then you’ll realize you never really needed it, and it was just part of the biological imperative. He >>22213437

There first time I read Schopenhauer I found it incredible how much of what he said had been going through my mind for the past couple of years.

>After what we have said, a discussion of friendship would naturally follow, since it is a virtue or implies virtue, and is besides most necessary with a view to living. For without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods; even rich men and those in possession of office and of dominating power are thought to need friends most of all; for what is the use of such prosperity without the opportunity of beneficence, which is exercised chiefly and in its most laudable form towards friends? - Aristotle
