I've been meditating the last 2 months and my life has gotten better in so many ways. I feel more free, loved, at peace, patient, etc.

I feel extremely lonely and my social network has deteriorated and now only really extends to one friend and my Dad. I feel this strong desire for connection and meditations has helped me feel better in a moment, but I'm not sure what my solution is long term?

I compare it to hunger. When you're hungry on thirsty, you feel better after you eat or drink. Our bodies need it. And there's tons of evidence to suggest the importance of having strong, healthy social networks. Is it okay for me to see people as the solution to this problem or can it be solved solely through meditation?

I guess I'm just looking for some type of validation as I continue to cope with my feelings as I connect to my abundant future.

Thanks
