If I weren’t lonely, I wouldn’t have joined this forum

If I had 100 family members, including siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and even their children and grandchildren, and my life was surrounded by them, I wouldn't think about suicide for even a second because being surrounded by loved ones completely erases such thoughts.

Same for me. As Britney Spears said in her song, "my loneliness is killing me" and i think it's true. But people who have a partner and kids do CTB too, so it's not just a matter of loneliness. Some ermits don't feel lonely and some celebrities feel lonely even if they receive a lot of love. I have fictional conversations in my head with real or fictional people. Really sad...

If I had that a long time ago, my romantic relationships would probably be much healthier. Lack of love likely affected how I behave in relationships, suspicious anybody would even love me, meanwhile craving love.

eh honestly I don't know. Some people claim to love you and care about you just to one day show their true colours. And with my experiences, I'd rather stay alone than let that happen again. This world is filthy. I'd say it's people who have mostly driven me to consider CTB

Britney doesn't write her music so it's kind of a false equivalency. Also celebrities can feel lonely yes but that's not the same as being alone.
