Loneliness can be used for self-development, writing a memoir or a hobby. And to maintain social connections and feel good, find a community of interests or watch a movie together online. It is nice to share impressions even when friends are not in the same room with you. Thanks to social networks and the Internet, those who are far away are close. Just appreciate the ones you love.
