When I am on my own I feel intact.
When I am with other people I feel lonely.

Re: Assumptions
man, this resonates with me. I don't recall where I heard it (maybe from Paul) but I've heard it put as "I want to be around people but not _with_ people."
Re: Assumptions
Yes, me too!
Before the quarantine I’d choose to go to the local restaurant for takeout. I’d love to (unobtrusively) watch the people who had other people to go to the restaurant with.
While I’d be alone, I could be happy for them, and dream of the day when someone will go to a restaurant with me.

Re: Assumptions
For the record, I would go to dinner with you, oak.
Re: Assumptions
Yes! That would be great. And it would be all the more fun to invite our other friends here.
