You will get through it though...I'm having a down spell right now. It's not easy being in college and not finding any people you have a real connection with. Being lonlely is obviously never fun. The "get over it" attitude doesn't seem to be the most understanding or compassionate one to take. I'd suggest just taking a deep breath and deciding what the root cause is. If you tend to overanalyze that's probably not a good idea, though (I learned this the hard way). You could try focusing on one good thing you do, and focus only on that. If people say they haven't been lonely at one time or another, then they're probably lying.

I couldn't agree more.
