“For those of you who grew up having to deal with things on your own, without much emotional support, how did you deal with loneliness as you got older? Does it eventually get better? And how do you stop feeling like you’re missing out on a part of life that everyone else seems to experience so naturally?”

Single child here. I've been all alone so much that having company feels weird now. It might feel lonely initially but enjoy your own company. Take yourself out, like go for a walk/gym/cafes. You're the only person who'll be with you from birth to death.
