OP, which are you?
^This. So much this.
'Lonely' is when you're by yourself and you think, 'I wish someone else was here.'
'Alone' is when you're by yourself and you think, 'FINALLY!!!'

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Exactly.
Okay, so, my question is: what is your favorite
website for reducing loneliness during the lockdown?
My question is
not: what is your favorite
substitute for the internet, when the goal is to reduce loneliness, during the lockdown?
I don't understand how you mistook the former question for the latter question.

I mistook nothing. I don't believe that a website is effective for reducing loneliness. My attempt for you to think outside the box. Appears it didn't work.
You don't seem to like it when your rules are not followed.

The point is that it doesn't address the question. I didn't dislike you not following any of my "rules" because I didn't set any rules. I just pointed out that my question wasn't being addressed but you want to obstinately insist otherwise despite all evidence to the contrary.
