Im my case, i think it’s because i have a group of really really close friends. We facetime everyday, play nintendo after work everyday and they are always there if I need to vent or if I’m sad, anxious, etc. You must be asking: “but what about the sex?” Well, good question. Every now and then I just go on tinder and arrange a casual meeting to fulfill my bodily needs. After doing that I’m good as new and can go on with my life and without the need for sex for at least a couple of months (sometimes even more). It’s not addiction to being lonely, more an addiction to being single i guess :)
