My most recent struggle has had to do with loneliness. For a while now I go through periods of time where I feel lonely. So what did I do? I sought after the wisdom of those above me and I asked them how I could remedy this. And they provided me with insight. They both said the same thing without (as far as I know) consulting each other, which means it can't be wrong. They told me that loneliness is a result of thinking too much about myself. And it got me thinking about being self conscious. To be self-conscious is to feel an undue awareness of oneself, or one's appearance. My loneliness is a result of constantly thinking about the friends that I don't have. So the solution they offered to me was to intentionally encourage other people. If I"m focusing on others then I don't have time to think about myself.
That would be so nice

That's true. If you are putting others first constantly, you won't have time to think about yourself being lonely. "Those above you" are wise people.
