    There is a massive difference between alone and lonely.

    And conversely:

    Just because you are forced to share a living space does not mean you have a connection with those people.

      Fair response, but being around and meeting people can help even if it’s something you’re forced to do out of necessity.

      Living with disrespectful or negative people can suck too though.

      How can you be lonely? You always have someone to talk to. If you are nice they might be willing to cook a meal for you (as long as you cook something too). Plenty of entertainment (when they fight with their significant other). Someone to play games with (cards, chess, hide their keys, watch them shower).

        You just don’t get it.

        Why would you necessarily want to talk to your roommates? Just because you live with someone doesn’t mean you want to hang out. Also, I have never had a roommate cook a meal for me and enjoying them fighting with their partner is kind of sick.
