How do you loners manage to get through days and weeks and months without being with friends? Don't you feel the loneliness keeps you from having goals, and aspirations?
I disagree. I feel like having friends messed up my aspirations and goals. There were too many petty social dramas that distracted me and got in the way of work and concentrating on my ambitions.

It's good to have friends, but I don't think you need to rely on friendships for motivation for aspirations and goals. I think you need to rely on yourself for motivation. And, I believe that out of concentrating on yourself and what you want, you draw people in because they'll be interested in what you're doing and you as a person.

So, I suggest you work on a new goal. It could be joining a local club, or writing a book and getting it published. Then out of that, you meet new people and make new friends.


LOVE: pass it on
