isn't the word 'loneliness' very scary? i was just thinking of how we all take our life and family for granted. we assume that this present scenario will be there for ever. but it is a sad fact that life changes. our parents die, our siblings go on their different ways, our children leave home to start their own life. in the end, we are alone in life. i know that change is inevitable in life and that we should be prepared for any situation. but the very thought of being alone at some point in life scares me a lot. i pray to god to give me the strength and presence of mind to lead life happily and peacefully, and with good health, where ever i am.

I'm scared of loneliness too, and I think that lots of people are scared of losing parents, or other loved ones, and be alone. But as you said, those things are inevitable to everyone, so I guess every human has the inner strength of getting back up and being happy again.

it is really sad that we, as human beings have to go through all these, isn't it? but as you said, we all find ways of getting out of this lonely state of mind. here's wishing you all happiness in life...

hi! No, i am not scared of it, because i am lonely/single from 4 months, I guess you mean lonely, like having no partner and not completely lonely. I think i can live without a girl by my side, well it will be better if i have some, but it is not a pain to die from, if i don't have any! :)

you are just saying that because you have been single only since the past 4 months. but facing life alone, day by day for the past ten years has been quite tough for me. although i have learnt to survive, there have been times when i wish i had someone by my side. anyway, best wishes, friend.

I was very lonely as a child and never thought I would find someone. I did not have a lot of friends. Now that have found someone I am still alon because my spouse travels for work and is only home once a month if that. I raise 2 kids alone and sometime I do feel very lonely still. I wonder if it is my destiny to feel alone or if I am supposed to learn how to deal with being alone....maybe there is a lesson in all of this. Well I don'y know but loneliess is a very hard thing to deal with. My kids are great but sometimes I need adult conversation face to face with a human. Those are hard to find.....humans...jk.

i can understand what you mean because i myself feel that way sometimes. as a child, i always have felt alone, and that has carried on till now. i do hope you will find your companion some time in life.

I am not scared of being alone. But the thought of it, it hurts and depressing when your alone. That's the thing I don't like when being alone..
