...sure this happens even with popular people... Loneliness is an internal matter, it is like a gap one needs to fill, most of the times the problem is with what to fill it... What works for me is self observation and self criticism. When i "see" dark thoughts I spot them and consider them something that is not mine but comes from "afar", then I reject them and try to find the reason why I feel this way. Every time a man changes something inside, the "reality" outside changes too. We deserve our "reality"... And every time something is lost, the gap fills with something else...It is a critical point called "self-awareness" to find what one has lost or what one has found.
best regards... I love it when people show their sensitivities, and by the way nice image !! I like the elephant next to the camel!
