I feel confused sometimes about the word loneliness that it's not always a negative word as people always think. Sometimes its hurt to be lonely and sometimes it's fine to be lonely so you wouldn't be hurt at the end by someone. Confusing Ha..

hi november oh believe me loneliness is no fun, and I see nothing positive about, not letting yoursself care because you might get hurt is sure a cop out. and maybe you wont get hurt so why not see and not be lonely again.

Yeah I know that's no fun in being lonely but don't think through solitude we learn something . we get the chance to observe what is going on around us , and what we have to do? I think loneliness is a tough thing for me maybe more difficult but because I believe that there is no infinite solitude rather its stages in our life we need to have to learn something, allegorical thing in our life each one must or somehow in any stage of his life will face it.

Loneliness is not a worst thing when it is a clear minded and self-controlled man. Loneliness make you think independent and and act without help of any one. But too much of anything is good for nothing, we have to mingle with people share out thoughts etc... Everything in a wrong ones hand is the mere worst thing...

I guess it can be confusing. I think loneliness is all in how a person views it. For example, a person can be fine being alone. They can be content, going on with life and be happy with that until someone they love, trust or respect says, "oh your life is so lonely." Then that same person can change their feelings of being "alone" into the need for being with others so bad that it makes them "lonely". I think there is a difference between the two. I was married and lonely because I wanted the attention of my husband who loved drinking more than me. But once that relationship ended and he had moved out of the house, I didn't feel lonely anymore even though I was alone. I think it's only when a person believes they are missing something from a relationship that they don't have at present is when they get lonely. When my daughter is home, sometimes I think, "why can't you go hang out?" But when she spends the night at friends, sometimes I miss her, and then I feel lonely because I miss having her around. So I think loneliness is a state of mind or feeling if that makes sense.

Loneliness is the worst feeling ever! There is not doubt about it! We are humans, we need other people around us for us to feel complete. I read an article about a girl who lived on her own growing up and she can't function like all of us. When they found the little girl, she was like an animal. Even though they taught her how to be civilized, she never learned how to let people in or how to love. I think thats sad. I get depressed when im lonely and its REALLLLLYY sad...
