Don't want to give too much information about myself. I'm 22 at this year, just finished my studies and suddenly am dragged into the military due to a contract. Yet I feel like I'm stuck being a teenager. I had a girlfriend 4 years ago, I don't have that much friends but at the same moment I don't feel any strong compulsion to make friends. Should I become acquainted with this loneliness? Or does putting myself out there and pursuing hedonistic interaction has its perks? Even when I had a girlfriend (and that was considered the apex of my interaction with people) I didn't exactly feel it was that much rewarding or meaningful to me.

Which is it?
If you don't feel lonely when you are alone you aren't lonely but you are alone.
I know a feel like this. I had friends and a life once so I feel vaidated but as I've spent more time alone I've come to prefer it, and even though people seem to like me and old acquaintances are always reaching out I really just want to give up on living that kind of life.
And why not? Since giving up other people I don't smoke cigarettes and I've cut out sugar and anything that's hard to pronounce. I'm in the best shape of my life, got a 6 pack and I just do push ups and shit at home. I am lonely but I don't miss feeling beneath people, and so far the loneliness has gotten easier to deal with so seriously why bother with people? I get that there's some benefits but I truly feel that I function better existing on the fringe.
