we all feel lonely at times. Even while surrounded with people we feel like we are alone. Being lonely doesnt mean that you should be sad. It can also means that you need time for yourself. You should know the difference between solitude and depression. Solitude and depression are two completely different things.
When you prefer to be alone doesnt compulsorily mean that you are depressed. After college most of my friends from other villages who came Hyderabad for studying started feeling very lonely. They eventually turned to become depressed and started showing this in form of anger. Anger results in nothing rather you may lose your friends. And when you feel lonely you try to be over possessive with your close friends. You wont even know when this possesiveness turns to arrogance and causes differences with your friends.
Friends or your lover are to share things with you, but they cannot be available for you all the time. You should even try to understand them and give them space. You should take this alone time as an advantage and think about your future and plan for it. You should go out and try making new friends.
Most of them also fall for bad habits and drugs during this time. You must be very careful and not be associated with bad company. You will be fine, you just need some time to adjust.
