I think abaya has said it all. After many years of being a loner, I found (and broke up with) a girl last year. I thought it was all fine, then 5 days later she dumped me. I felt like shit back then. I felt like this was my big chance and I had blown it. I literally broke every contact I had with other people where I live for many weeks thereafter. I can't say it was beneficial... After all, having people to hang around with is not that bad.
I read William Gibson's "Burning Chrome" yesterday and he says something in there that rings very true to me: everyone wants to be with someone but also be alone at the same time.
