do you think that friends can cure loneliness?

What type of loneliness are you feeling? Is it socially lonely? Is it loneliness of the soul? You can be in a room full of people and be alone? You've heard that, right? If you are happy with yourself then you can be happy around others and not so lonely. But, if you are at odds with yourself then you can be alone anywhere. Make sense?

I do think that friends can HELP to cure loneliness. Some people just have feeling inside of them that friends can't cure complete loneliness. I feel it might be kind of like having depression. It's just part of you.. and maybe depression and anxiety medicines would help for loneliness as well. I'm not sure I'm just guessing. It would be interesting to get a doctors perspective on this.. or at last a physcology majors perspective on this.

Yes, I do believe that having friends is a great cure for lonliness, and a good 'medicine' to keep our attitudes and minds healthy :-) I have a great group of friends who support me and keep my life filled with joy and happiness. Even though I have a lot of medical problems and can't get out of the house anymore, just the fact of having good friends makes everything easier to take and makes you feel you still have a place in society. A friend with a ready smile means a lot in the quality of a life!

yes,friends can be an alternative cure for loneliness. They could make you smile and laugh to the highest level when you are really down, keep you company when you needed them most. And they are always there for you though all the phases of life you are into, no matter what. That's what true friends are for.

Definitley. I had a girlfriend break up with me long time ago and it took me a long time to get over her. Then I met someone else. We never had a relationship but we had and still have a great friendship. It took meeting her to get over the breakup.
