Loneliness is a slow death...

I'm always surprised how lonely I get from time to time. I'll just be plugging along (a phrase borrowed from my mom) and suddenly it will hit me...I am lonely. And for the most part alone. And it's not a pleasant feeling. People will say "You have to put yourself out there more." But, what does that mean? I have tried. But, I end up looking and feeling foolish. So, what is there really? Should I keep putting myself out there and repeatedly getting hurt? Somehow that doesn't seem wise to me. I don't know what the answer is. I really don't.
