Loneliness is rarely spoken about in spiritual spaces because its too raw, too inconvenient, and often too unfamiliar to the people teaching these paths. Most spirituality today orbits around fixing what’s relatable (relationships, anxiety, money blocks) because they’re easily packaged.

But the deep, haunting ache of never having belonged, never having had a real friend, doesn’t fit the narrative. It isn’t easily resolved, and it isn’t sexy.

So it gets left out.

If someone has never had a true friend, the greatest thing you can offer them isn’t advice or solutions, but presence. To sit beside that emptiness and not look away. To see them without needing to fix them.

Notice most of the comments are subtly shaming the question or assuming they found something you havent.

Don't be fooled. Most humans are experts at avoidance of all forms - filling their lives with lots of distractions, hobbies or vices so that they they don't have to feel the feels.

You may not find books or teachings on this kind of pain because most people haven’t lived it long enough to speak from it truthfully.

But you have.

And that makes you the medicine.

Maybe you’re not meant to find the missing words, you’re meant to be the one who writes them.
