[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds snarky, but this is a genuine question. Truly, what should you be doing during that time period? And yes, this is something I am facing so I can only focus on the negative right now [b](being alone through the holidays, birthday, etc) and I want to know what makes that loneliness worth it[/b]. Because I can't see how it matters how many new hobbies I get, or how many friends I have, or how great of a family I have, or how much I go to the gym, [b]I'm still going home to an empty house at the end of the night.[/b] Am I supposed to figure out how to enjoy this first and that's how I know I am "ready"?

This is exactly why.  Literally anybody will keep you from being lonely, so you're very likely to end up in a relationship with someone who's not actually any good for you just to fill the emptiness.  Once the loneliness isn't scary anymore, you'll actually look at partners through a lens of whether they're the right fit for you, not just "is this a warm body that will fit in bed next to me?"[/quote]
