On: Loneliness is stronger when not alone

> Eventually you realize your agency

Oh that's not the problem at all for me. I am perfectly capable of feeling lonely right through that entire super fun engaging conversation with strangers. Because a conversation doesn't scratch that same itch. Like eating potato chips when what you really need is steak.

It's not a good metaphor because a potato chips conversation can end up a steak conversation

Sometimes yes sometimes no. Sometimes steak just isn't available, but you can have a great roast instead.
