“The worst kind of loneliness is to not be comfortable with yourself” is a saying that has been printed on many images. Authorship is unknown.
“Mark twain once said ‘The worst kind of loneliness is not to be comfortable with yourself’” was posted on the blog The Can Opener Boy Translations on October 10, 2009. However, this is the first known citation of this quotation, and it is well outside the lifetime of American author and humorist Mark Twain (1835-1910).
