Can You Walk Away From Loneliness Anytime You Choose ?

[Cormac135]

Or are some people just predisposed to it ?

Some people just enjoy being miserable and complaining about it. It's not that hard to find someone that you're compatible with.

I kind of agree with you, though i believe there are some people out there predisposed to live and may be enjoy a single life.

And the there are...

Now that Britain has an official Minister of Loneliness all should be well.

You don't have to be single to feel lonely.

You don't have to be single to feel lonely.

Indeed, but it is an added componant.

Some are lonely in a crowded room. It is difficult for them to connect with others.

The only time I remember being lonely was when I was with a man I didn't like very much. I drank alot ....

There is lonely and then there is lonely.

Many of us are single, alone, and sometimes single, but know how to keep our own company.

I don't ascribe that anyone is born to be alone, only that some are blocked from succeeding in making meaningful, lasting connections with others. I think it is one of social privileges to not only be a friend when possible, but to help them learn friendship.

There is a truism that comes to mind. To have a friend, you must be one.

I agree but it is easy for those of us with the will not fight it.
For some it overwhelms them
For me, so long as I have internet access, I see not reason to feel lonely

 

[nyctopgam]

I like my alone time. I can be very social, it's actually a requirement for what I do, but my true nature needs solitude.

Ummmmmm... no.

It's incredibly difficult to find someone you're compatible with if you're an oddball. Not everyone has generic qualities that automatically match them with a pool of people. Some folks are just weird.

I think the problem here isn't finding someone, it's not being independent enough to exist happily alone. I did it for 35 years before finding my current boyfriend without even looking for him. No misery or loneliness if you don't define your happiness by being in a relationship.

 

[TheLoveableLoner]

True fucking story.

Some of the loneliest people I know are in relationships. Hell, some of the loneliest people I know rush into bad relationships which only feed their loneliness.

 

[Kyanimal]

Being alone, and being lonely, are two different things. One is physical, the other is mental.

 

[TheLoveableLoner]

I like my alone time. I can be very social, it's actually a requirement for what I do, but my true nature needs solitude.

What do you do?

I too am very very social. I bartend for a living. I'm generally outgoing. But I also enjoy my alone time.

People's interpretation of time alone as something sad or depressing constantly bewilders me.

All you need to do is take the other Jubbers off of ignore.
