I agree completely with NeferMaatNetjer. I would just add that usually the persons most surrounded with other people and a bunch of "friends" are the ones who fell lonely the most. Also the self-confidence plays a significant role in this. If we are not very self-confident we are likely to seek for the presence of more people in order not to feel lonely. If one is self-confident he/she can feel fine having even only one close friend. I believe that this might have something to do with the observation that "great minds" were often surrounded with close group of friends or felt as outsiders.

Loneliness is something felt by a human, or something that some people try to live in because they know that by that way they feel more comfortable, alone...so far from people they feel its better to live.

I'm not sure I entirely grasp what you're getting at, but I suppose sometimes I choose to be alone. Both for just periods of time throughout the day and also in the realm of relationships and whatnot, things are just easier taking it easy for a while lol

Loneliness is something that is brought on by our own minds.For instance someone who has just broken up with a partner feels as if the world's ended and he/she has no one whilst in truth they have friends who care about them and who want to spend time with them.My point is loneliness is subjective from one person to another.I may have no friends or family and consider myself happy but someone else has the love of friends and family but can't find a partner and so they consider themselves terribly lonely.

i grew up with the feeling of loneliness. many trials and tribulations in my childhood and up. i remember one day the thought of happiness and how i would feel experiencing that feeling, and thought to myself... i enjoy this feeling of loathing...though not exactly in that word usage. anyways, being alone or depressive can be addictive, like a drug.

Solitude is the final frontier for man. It is a final search for God that must be done alone. The search is inward so therefore you must go alone. Loneliness is the condition for a journey into the soul. It is the beginning. If you are lonely, consider yourself fortunate. People who are content with their external relationship, whether it be boyfriend/girlfriend, family/friends or society/work will never see God face to face. Only the lonely will see God if they seek the right paths.

Loneliness is your opportunity to find God. Society will not let you find God. Society will suck your blood for the sake of economy and making a few rich. Enrich yourself. Become lonely and find Truth that no one else will have the opportunity to seek.

When you get close to the kingdom of heaven you will find your loneliness dissipate until it reaches a plateau where loneliness is dropped and only aloneness remains. The pain is over at the point. The next step after that is achieving a bond with yourself that is stronger than any relationship that you've seen. That ecstacy that others have for a moment in a relationship based on romance and sex is but a rating of 2 on a scale of 1 to 100. What you will achieve is higher. Much higher. If you are lonely, you are lucky. Seek Truth. It shall set you free.
