Very powerful Huzaifa - studies show loneliness is a secret pandemic these days - despite the popularity of social media etc, people, especially the elderly who used to be part of large families feel very lonely and isolated...

I think if you make friends with yourself and not afraid of solitude, loneliness doesn't become a factor (to some extent) - and no, I would never hand out with ppl I don't feel comfortable with -too draining for me
