Loneliness can make you feel as if nobody needs you.

Loneliness can make you feel as if nobody needs you. That feeling encourages withdrawal, and withdrawal makes the loneliness deeper. Do not wait for a strong desire to socialize. Message one person, visit a familiar place, or join a small group. The way back often begins with a very small bridge. One small connection may not solve everything, but it reminds you that there are still doors you can knock on. You do not have to walk the whole distance alone.
