Being alone and lonely....

[Kcar]

Being alone can invigorate the soul, loneliness destroys the soul.

Here, you've defined succinctly, and in only a few well chosen words, what virgin_not wrote so beautifully about this subject.

I have experienced both and agree. Good thread idea, virgin_not.

Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self.

that is a very interesting concept you have Virgin. You must have a very interesting ideas on how to live your life.

Good morning virgin_not.

Interesting thread.

For myself I think any time you are lonely is not fun, but to be with someone, married, live in SO, what have you makes it worse.

It is kind of like leaving an open bowl of sugary chocolates in front of a diabetic.
It is always there taunting, but you can not seek to commune with it.

Maybe not the best example, but to me, when you are married, or with someone and you still end up lonely, it is that much harder since the expectation is a shared life rather than two solitary existances.

Just my opinion.

This is very true about being two solitary existances. It is not only true of married couples but those living with eldery parents.

I'm a single mom when the kids are gone to their dad's for weekend I'm often alone but rarely lonely.

Sometimes however I can be in a room full of people and feel totally lonely in spite of everyone there.

Single parents need that break alone and they also need someone to touch when the kids are in bed.

Yeah well things don't always turn out as we plan.

Best intentions are often the worse of plans.

 

[virgin_not]

Some of us can feel lonely even amidst the crowd, among colleagues, in the family and tete-a-tete with a lover. The number of close people, friends or enemies by our side has little or nothing to do with loneliness . Rather, it is the structure of one's personality that actually identifies loneliness. Just my thought

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Just hike up your britches and slide on the ice. You get lemons make lemon-aide. I'm just full of ole useless sayings.

And if you're happy with yourself & who you are.

Just a plethora of knowledge aren't ya?

I don't often wear britches and i hate lemonade.....So i'll just keep plodding on.


loneliness is far worse then being alone. IMHO

 

[KINDGIRL]

I don't get lonely very often, but when I do feel it - it tends to be when I am in a crowd of people. Being alone is fine with me, it perks me up. (Secrets_Within said it well, IMO).

I want to mention - great site link - PINK

Thanks Kindgirl.

Good morning to you.

Just the way I feel about things. I've been on my own with the kids now for a fairly long time. So I'm often alone when they are gone, tho I've can't say I've ever felt loneliness but a few times. No fun at all.

 

[virgin_not]

And if you're happy with yourself & who you are.

Did I say anything wrong?? do you have a problem with me?? *sigh*

If THEY are happy w/ themselfs

The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved.
