    Quotes on loneliness and all the feelings it can spark

    No one's experience with loneliness is ever exactly the same, but there is likely a quote somewhere out there that will resonate with you if you're dealing with it.

    One of my favorite quotes about loneliness is:

    There doesn’t have to be loneliness in being alone.

    (Why yes, I'm a Swiftie, why do you ask? LOL!)

    This article offers 87 loneliness quotes that cover just about every emotion associated with it: https://www.rootsofloneliness.com/loneliness-quotes

    I saw one in my feed recently that was something like, "I prefer loneliness over fake company" and that really summed things up for me.

    But this one from the article: Sometimes I have thought I was lonely and it turned out I was in reality wanting a snack, just like sometimes I have thought I was mad and it turned out I was actually wearing too many sweaters.

    That made me lol.
