First time I’ve been feeling lonely this year, ik this is in stark contrast with the time of the year but I wasn’t able to perform in my school annual function (I really wanted to) and for some reason I have been feeling lonely since, what do you do when you feel like this?

At under no circumstances allow the thought machine to wonder alone during a silent moment. Constantly drown it under a huge pile of information so that it can't ever go very far, otherwise it will look for a vein of negative emotions and dig deep inside.

    Stop posting, ME, aha. Thats a dangerous, treacherous path, internet friend. Can I ask what stimuli makes you want to information-overload yourself to numb yourself to?

    Ah k. Been there :(

    If you'd indulge me for a moment, I wonder what that means for you more situationally, like

    1. what and
    2. whom

    do you find most challenging in your life currently (besides yourself/depression)?

    So, no to introspection? Wundt-ering around your own mind?
