How do I get rid of chronic loneliness and the fear I'll

Some form of therapy

By living an interesting life, and accepting that it is entirely possible that you will live and die alone, and being ok with that possibility. Once you accomplish these things, you'll be amazed how much less dickery you're willing to tolerate from others, and you'll also find that they are more willing to fall in line. They'll say shit like, "Let's be friends," and you'll respond, "I've got enough friends. Don't need any more." Shit like that.

But I don't have any friends

It's not like you'll have a good friend by having a chick who rejected you around.

gets it, if you have what I think you have. I share a similar situation. Though, it's not intentional. I smile big and become friendly with everyone. One could say I make a LOT of friends, but the thing is, I don't consider them as anything more than known people in my life. I tell myself I want love and a family of my own, but whenever I finally get a chance with someone I realize right in those moments that it's not what I really wanted. It doesn't make me truly happy. I tried to compare the temporary happiness I get (such as from watching a show, playing a game, reading a book, etc.) and see if it's something that makes me happy to be alive; nothing. If I am not happy does that make me depressed? I don't feel depressed. I feel nothing. I feel that perhaps you should stop thinking about it and accept that you might be lonely for your remaining life. Stop thinking about it and live your life. Talk to people without feeling if they are going to reject you at some point. Let life happen. Some people should think ahead of time and some people should think in the moment and take life day by day -- you should take life day by day and live in the moment.

Holy shit this is me exactly. Thank you.

Thank you. Always glad to see someone who understands my situation. It's nearly impossible to explain it to someone who does not see things from our perspective. Good luck, anon.

Meet people. Meet lots of people. The more people you meet, the more are likely to become acquaintances. The more acquaintances, the more that will develop into friends.

And don't ask me how to meet people. You know how. You're just afraid to try.
