Simplified Meaning:

Feeling lonely when you're by yourself suggests that you're not comfortable in your own company. It's important to learn to enjoy being alone because it helps build self-confidence and independence. Imagine being stuck at home on a rainy day with no friends available. If you find ways to keep yourself happy, like reading a book or watching a favorite movie, you will feel good even without others around. Historically, many great thinkers and creators, like writers and artists, spent a lot of time alone developing their ideas. They found value in solitude because it allowed them to focus and explore their thoughts. If someone feels lonely when alone, it might be helpful for them to discover activities or interests they can enjoy by themselves. This can make alone time enriching and pleasant instead of lonely.
