"Don't you feel lonely? I see that you always eat out alone, watch movies alone, drink in cafes and read books in libraries alone. I always see you isolating yourself in a room with your phone, alone. Doesn't it make you sad? Lonely?"
"Loneliness doesn't work that way for me. The reason why I'm always alone is that I don't want to be lonely. To be with myself is appreciating my own presence, especially when others couldn't. You see, for me, being surrounded by people but still feeling alone— that's lonely. Having a group to go out with but not feeling like you belong— that's lonely. I'd rather be with myself and be alone, and no— that doesn't make me lonely. Being with myself means I don't have to fight for attention. Being with myself means that I don't have to pretend that I'm a different person."
