Just a thought...

It started with a thought when I realized that being lonely can actually feel relaxing and make you happy. You dont have to deal with people who criticize, humiliate, and bully you. . But most of the people enjoy life being with someone they love. Well, its true. But love hurts right? So why risk it? Why dont we just enjoy our life without hurting ourselves??

I guess it depends on what kind of lonely you are talking about. I think all people need to socialize with others to keep themselves sane. They also need to love and trust others, you can not always protect yourself from getting hurt, but you can learn from those moments and make better choices in the future.

Hi, Sometimes we like to live alone. But this situation is for few times. But I like to share my feelings with others. I always share my happiness and sorrows with others. By sharing happiness it increases and by sharing sadness it decreases. It is true that we should not allow anyone to hurt us. But it is also part of our life. We have to face it courageously. And try to enjoy every moment of life positively.

Hi there xuy. Sometimes having silence is also a bliss - aat least for me it is happening especially when i go to the church's prayer room and have an alone moment. it makes me feel really good to have complete silence, I can think of a good thing or things i want to do with my life, it helps me reflect and it is usually when we can learn to decide and just contemplate. But this moment of silence is not being lonely and it is totally not about being lonely - that to me is two different things. On the love and being hurt, well yes love can and will hurt you - all the people will hurt you eventually at some point, but with the one you would want to spend your life with, some of the things that hurts you with them, then it should all be worth it. Why suffer and be alone, when you can find someone who would be the best partner for you. Even if you would want to be alone, there are many other feelings you still would have to feel for yourself. and it is better when you have someone there to share the feelings with you.

I don't know if I would feel the same thing, relax and feel happy if I'm lonely. You can not solve one's loneliness if you will isolate yourself from others. Yes, you may be right in saying, you would feel relax if you don't mingle or see the persons who have mistreated or who are against you but there are other people aside from them who could make you happy and accept who/what you are.

You are right. Life is short we must enjoy our life as much as we can. Avoid hurting others and ourself. Try your maximum to help others and get happiness with it.

Every situations have its pros and cons. It is good to be able to share the joyful moments with love ones. However, once in awhile we should have our own time to relax and the 'me' time is good for reenergised and refocus. Recently I spoke to my colleague on the same topic too. I said she being a single is wonderful because can have a free life with no commitments, she can go wherever she wishes and spend the money that she earns. She is surrounded with many friends too.

I always take time for myself. Only me and my TV or computer, or I will go to a cinema or shopping just by myslef. It's relaxing sometimes just to be by myself and do what I want to do and go wherever I want to go. Even though I love to enjoy time sometimes by myself, my favorite time is always sharing it with my boyfriend. Love hurts, yes sometimes, but it does not mean that we have to deny the happiness that also come together with love?

Whether you are single or with someone, you will experience both the ups and downs of life. Because life is complicated like that and it doesn't specifically pick put whether you are single or not. It all depends on the person on how she makes something out of her current situation in life, whether alone or with someone. Personally, I am so ready to be with someone, that is why we decided to get married. I have been single and alone for long, I have enjoyed the freedom of a single woman has, so now I am ready for another chapter of my life.

Being lonely and being alone are two different things. Loneliness or being lonely can be felt even if you are surrounded with people but you still feel dismal emptiness. Alone means you are isolated from people. Sometimes, we want to be "alone" because we want to exclude ourselves from others to rest, to relax or just to commune with oneself. We can actually be alone without being lonely.

I think its not being lonely, it is a time when you spend your time alone that you can really relax and have some break from the noise of people and things around you.

When you love someone, you have to be prepared to get hurt as well. Love means being with someone through thick and thin, in happiness and in painful ones. Getting hurt is part of loving someone. But of course, if the relationship is going destructive and the person you love constantly hurts you, then get out of it. Although getting hurt is part of loving someone, you have to gauge whether the relationship is still worth if it only brings you contsant pain.

I would rather have someone with me. The companionship in life is important to me. Each person has their own feelings and I respect that. If someone is happier alone than as long as that makes them happy that is all that matters. :)

There is good in people also, which you will miss out on by being alone all the time.

I think you've got lonely and be alone mixed up. You can be surrounded by a bunch of people or just a few and still be lonely. However you can be alone and not feel lonely at all. It's better to be alone and not be lonely than to be with someone and be lonely.

Its the difference between loneliness and solitude. When you start to feel good about being alone. That's what you're realising I believe.

Life is strange ! It can not be fathom. We love and been hurt but still we are there. We loved to be hurt ! We really don't want to be hurt but no choice for us sometimes the only choice left is so stay and be hurt. It is up for the person on how she handles being wounded always. She as if lives with those wounds . She rather lives with those wounds than losses him. Weird and madness but this is the reality .Love indeed is so selfless .
