Is What I need Love Or Something Else?

Soo I am dealing with depression right now.

I know the biggest cause of my struggle is loneliness.

I keep hearing all around me, from pople who I've talked to about my situation and people who I've not, say that you don't need people to complete you, all you need is yourself and you will be set.

well I went through a lot of grade school having to settle with being my own company. It helped me keep my individuality and keep out of peer pressure, but I was always lonely. I could laugh by myself and be content with being my own company for the time being, but I would always come back to just, feeling lonely and hating it.

right now in my heart, I truly wish I had close friends and a lover. is this what I really need? Or do I need something else. Please give me your opinions! Thankyou!
