^This. I have a very hard time finding people that I would actually like to get to know or hang out with. I've had to stop hanging out with some people before because I wasn't satisfied with the direction that things were going, it just wasn't stimulating enough for me, wasn't giving me the thoughts and feelings I was looking for, and I didn't want to be in the same lifestyle as that group. Not even being elitist or anything...it's more like, it's hard to find people that talk about things I want to talk about, or do things I want to do, or just have this quality to them that makes them endearing. It's hard for me to find people that make me want to know more about them or see where a conversation with them could go. Most people seem "just OK" - not awful, but not great either - they don't make me think or feel too much either way.
The flipside is I'm never enough for those who DO make me think and feel. I feel like I slip through the cracks.
As far as times go where I don't care about loneliness, I'd say there's hardly any. I always thought this singledom would just end someday, and I just had to wait...but it hasn't ended, or even given me any indication that it will end, or when that would happen. The longer it goes without any sign of ending (other than with the end of my life) the more impatient I get, the more worried I am that I'll never escape and finally know what it feels like to beat this, to be free of it.
The best I can do to not care about loneliness is watch TV and movies, or drink. That's really all that works for me.
