Loneliness as a period of growth and healing

"One of the most surprising things about the readings given for people who were lonely and were looking for friends, companionship, or a marriage partner is that Cayce never told them where to find a relationship. Instead, the focus of the information was that there was something individuals were supposed to be doing with their time alone. Oftentimes, the readings saw loneliness as a period needing to encompass both personal growth and healing as well as a time of reaching out to others who were less fortunate. Individuals who were suffering from all kinds of loneliness were frequently told to begin discovering their unique soul talents and abilities and to find ways in which they could be helpful to others. Cayce believed that once individuals put their efforts in these directions, relationships would inevitably be drawn to them."

People tend to regard loneliness as something bad and miserable that they want to avoid or hide from others.  However, this is not true, as indicated by information through Cayce. Every event can be a precious learning opportunity. It is whether you can take it that way or not that makes a difference.
