That great, at least it is a blocker that depends on you and that you can control.

Please though, we shouldn't pretend there aren't things we cannot fix that prevent us from not being lonely.

This sentence has too many negations even for me.

There are barriers to loneliness that cannot be addressed by the individual experiencing it.

And yes, it was poorly worded. It's early and I skipped caffeine this morning because of activity.

Regardless, some people might not "fit in" socially because of age, skin color, income, or what have you - compared to the demographics of where they are living. There can be barriers that they simply cannot fix themselves.

yeah, sure you cannot hang out with top models but maybe there is a space for you somewhere.
