You can never be lonely if you like who you’re alone with. Agree or disagree? ——— I feel like that's a less mean or kinda PMA version of, "If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company." I don't really agree with any affirmations that put forward the idea that a lack of "self-love" is the cause of all negative experiences and emotions. Loneliness is an extremely common, nuanced, part of being alive. All kinds of people feel lonely. Not liking yourself can make alleviating loneliness harder, I think. If you don't feel worthy of company then you are probably less likely to seek it. But I don't think a high self-esteem would eliminate the problem of loneliness.
