Lonliness

"Other times I use this solo time to really concentrate on the weights, crunches, lunges, situps. It's a better workout if I concentrate. I might be feeling a bit lonely but at least I'm working hard."

I know that your post isn't about working out but when I'm at the gym I do appreciate the ability to focus on my workout. I look around at so many people chatting it up and feel that while they might be having a good time they'll have to be there 2x the time I will do get any kind of work out. I love friends and talking to people but if I only have an hour for weights I just can't spend 30 minutes chatting about last nights game.

As for this...

"Feeling lonely also reminds me of how happy I feel when I talk to my friends and my sisters and other people who I have an affinity for."

Bingo. Right on!
