You will find that the only one who truly understands you is yourself, and the only one who can be your friend is also yourself. Loneliness to the point that you never feel it as loneliness, but instead feel that you are enjoying solitude—that's true loneliness. If you always feel lonely, that's not loneliness; that's boredom. Loneliness and boredom are different. What does boredom mean? It means no one pays attention to you, and you want to pay attention to others, but they ignore you. Loneliness is when you can understand others, but others can't understand you. It's not that others ignore you; it's that you don't care if others pay attention to you.
