@나는_죽었다 I used to have severe insomnia for around at least 2-3 years. A medicine (which is not actually a medicine for sleep issues) that helped me sleep is risperidone(tablet). I started with 2 mg per night. Then I gradually lowered to 1 mg and then 0.5 mg. I took this medicine for may be around 1.5-2 years. And then I started sleeping without it. Now I generally don't have much sleep-issues except occasionally on very hot and humid nights.
Another medicine that helps people fall asleep (but not to stay asleep) is melatonin. But taking melatonin regularly can be bad for teenagers. I have occasionally taken melatonin.
Is being a loner the worst?

I'm 62 years old and have been a loner most of those. No particular reason, it just works for me. I've been
questioning it's effects on me. For instance. It means I am self taught. I know how I fit in my world but others don't always match my perception. -
@cyberosy Knowing how one can be lonely in a sea of lost souls is the worst. When being lonely is a longing for bodies to surround you, empty vessels may be enough but being lonely for honesty and truth can be the worstest..

@Don-Rose if that's what you're comfortable with rhen it's a good thing. Don't question yourself for being you, what else is there?

Being a loner isn’t the worst, but being lonely is.

@pardis2001 Thanks for the reply. I think I'm asking if being a loner necessarily makes one lonely. I agree everyone has their own world to inhabit and give life. I guess my world requires little maintenance and, therefore, few stewards.

I don't think It's the worst. It's a way of living. some are more comfortable in this way and that's okay. in my opinion everyone has their own world even the most social ones.

my therapist has told me it is not healthy. but that way my whole life

Hmm I've always been a loner so I don't think there's anything WRONG bout it, lest I hate myself, but my parents keep bitching bout it lol even though I'm not like socially inept or whatever

@Don-Rose
i think that being a loner is not a bad thing at all, as long as you're comfortable with it and it's not forced upon you by others. -
@sarah_the_magpie Thank you. As a loner, I agree it's not bad thing at all. It does get a little sad when making myself laugh hysterically and having no one else to get the joke but no one also to say "That's not funny.":)

If it feels right, then who cares what anyone thinks

I guess I was testing any diversity advocates. Not much of that as a loner. I should be admonished for my lack thereof. Just kidding.
