All well and good coming from a pin up who can get company whenever they desire.

Loneliness can become super entrenched. Some people go years without any source of love in their life.

That leads to depression, hopelessness etc and the kind of self esteem and self love talked about here simply isn't possible.

Being alone though choice and choosing to enjoy your own company over the company of others isn't the same as abject loneliness

I was thinking asking similar lines. Dude's one of the world's most recognizable faces. People are friendly and nice (probably fauning, even), wherever he goes. He can get company whenever he wants it. That changes the perspective a bit.

I've known loneliness and it was a fucking dark path indeed. Thinking about suicide very often, being depressed all the time, it's utterly destructive. I still bear many scars from that time.

Having some alone time can be great. Being lonely ? Not so much.

Exactly.

Money and fame would help a ton.
