The worst loneliness is to not be comfortable with yourself

“The worst loneliness is to not be comfortable with yourself.” - Mark Twain

THE WORST LONELINESS IS TO NOT BE COMFORTABLE WITH YOURSELF

The worst loneliness is when you're at a party, and everyone is having fun and laughing and having a good time. And you are standing there wondering why you're even there.

The worst loneliness is when you look in the mirror, and your eyes see someone else staring back at you.

The worst loneliness is when all of your friends are getting married and having babies, but you still can't figure out what to do with your life.

The worst loneliness is feeling like nobody understands how hard it is for you to just get up in the morning and keep going sometimes.

But there's also something really special about that kind of loneliness: it means that we're all struggling! It means we're all looking for something—something that makes us feel like we belong somewhere, with someone, doing something meaningful in this world.
