Loneliness is measured by how far you are from a telephone..or how well you can use your mobile keyboard! Waiting for people to come to you will leave you lonely and unhappy.
People won't come to you to free you from your loneliness: you must go to them.
Once you let people into your life with a sincere interest in friendship or a partnership, phone calls, invitations to social activities, a sincere interest in them and their lives, an invitation to your home or a night out at a restaurant or sitting at a café having a cup of coffee, a commitment to involve yourself and "show up" for them...well, your phone will be ringing off the hook.
