Ask HN: I love to be alone. But this loneliness is killing me
You will love others how you love yourself and conversely, how you love others is how you love yourself.<p>I would strongly encourage you to give freely to someone what you wish to receive.<p>Intellectual loneliness is the equivalent of I skipped leg day at the gym, not the badge of honor some make it to be. If you don&#x27;t know why someone isn&#x27;t intellectually on your level, unearth why. You will discover every human on this planet has the deepest depths of any other with varying degrees of access.<p>If all that sounds too unstructured, I would highly recommend reading Man&#x27;s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. And specifically, if you&#x27;re looking for companionship, Love Does by Bob Goff.<p>From someone who has already reached heights in Silicon Valley, found a wonderful spouse, and now has a kid after turning 30 these are some things that helped me through what you&#x27;re sharing here. I wish you the best on your journey
