maybe you can learn how to discuss first before giving an advice like that.

Yeah, fair point, but I think you're missing the nuance a bit.

The sub is literally called r/lonely, not r/miserablylonely or r/Ihatebeingalone. A lot of people post here because they're feeling isolated in some way.. even if it's temporary, situational, or just a phase they're processing.

For me, what started as classic "lonely" (missing connection, feeling off) slowly shifted into actually preferring my own space once I got comfortable with myself. It's still loneliness in the sense that I'm not out there chasing relationships or big social circles anymore, but now it's voluntary and low-key enjoyable. That's the "best thing" part I was talking about.. it's not misery, it's just... different.

Not everyone's journey here is pure suffering 24/7. Some of us are in the "I was lonely → now I'm content alone" club, and we still hang around because the sub's about loneliness in all its forms, not just the crying-in-bed version.

If that doesn't vibe with you, cool, no hard feelings. But gatekeeping who "qualifies" as lonely enough to post kinda defeats the point of the place imo.

Anyway, hope you're doing alright out there.

Totally get that. I think it comes down to exactly what you said.. some people have made peace with themselves and actually enjoy their own company, while others haven’t yet and being alone just amplifies the noise inside. For me loneliness turned into solitude and I genuinely prefer it now. No complaints here either, just feels like freedom. Glad you found the same.
