On: Dealing with Loneliness

[pmoriarty]

Is it a problem?

I've learned so much living a solitary life that I probably would never have learned if I'd spent all that time socializing.

That's not to say there aren't benefits to socializing more, but I don't think it's so obvious which is better. Each has their advantages and disadvantages.

Not the core but near the core.
