Good post TG.
Strangely, Ive been having similar thoughts.
For me, it doesn't mean I miss him..it means I dont know myself well enough yet.
I know this is new for you and its some work, but anything in life worth having is work, in my opinion.
Here are some things I do when Im lonely.
-Turn on music and do my nails, facial mask, deep condition my hair, while I read trashy celebrity gossip magazines.
-Try out new meals I have seen on the Food Network
-Take my dog to the park
-Call a friend to chat
-Wash my car
If I want to get to know myself,I have to enjoy my own company. About the mac and cheese..have you tried making full meals for yourself? I found early on that when I didnt cook, I felt more alone..cooking is not just for others
