Introversion and feeling lonely

Introverts need to be alone, not being lonely. Loneliness is very beautiful… when you have someone to tell it to.

I had been fantasizing for years with the idea of leaving my parents' house, living with people my own age, and not having to explain myself to anyone. That is why as soon as I had the first opportunity to leave home I did without any hesitation. Let's say that I chose my degree based on the city I wanted to be in, rather than if they would be useful when finding a job. And so, I went away from home and my lifelong friends. I moved to Madrid, to a flat…
