how to fight loneliness

I am opening up. I'm letting go of the facade of control I think I have in order to embrace uncertainty. I am no longer worrying about "how", since I have no control over it. I want to do two things:
1) I want to connect with everyone that I miss, that I think about, that I love.
2) I want to connect with someone who I see in glimpses and barely know...myself. I'm gonna find out who that sucker is. If you'd like to join me, feel free.

I am reading a book that discusses relationships and says that the only way to know yourself is not only by introspection, but also by self-disclosure to another: "All the discoveries that we make through communication with ourselves-our thought, beliefs and concepts of self-are only ideas until we crystallize them and give them meaning and substance in words. Thus we come to know ourselves even better through disclosing oursevles to others." "Full disclosure of the self to at least one other ..appears to be the one means by which a person discovers not only the breadth and depth of his needs...but also the nature of his own self-affirmed values." "Revealing ourselves openly and honestly to others is the most important means of knowing the self."
