that we are alone does not mean lonely

Correct! Each and everyone wants their own space. During that time, it is our chance to be just happy being alone and doing the things we would like to do without being restricted. I love my solitude, specially when husband isn't at home yet from his job. I treasure it so much, because i can have our bedroom for my prayer time and watching my favorite soaps, without him nudging me to change channel. Or sometimes i dance to exercise myself.

Is very healthy to have some moments alone, and you are right it doesnt mean you feel lonely. You must enjoy your time alone to do whatever you feel to do in that moment of peace. We have to enjoy a lot that time when we are singles , because when our kids come that will change all our lives , no more privacy , or we have to look for a good opportunity to be alone, that will depends of the activities we have. I love to be in silence, I really enjoy it, I also love to listen to some intrumental music , umm that fills my soul.

You are right, being alone does not mean yo are lonely. And everybody must have some space for himself/herself in life. So getting alonr for some time gives time to think about one self only.

true, sometimes we need a "me time" so we could really relax. i hope it still possible with me having my son around. he will always scream MOMMY whenever i am out of his sight. but i love it.

No being alone is not the same as feeling lonesome! I like to be alone, I enjoy that, these are the greatest/best moments of my day/life. I never felt so lonesome as I was married or between "family". Since I am alone I never felt lonesome anymore. I love to be with me and don't need anyone to keep me company or busy or trigger me to do something. I am full of life, ideas and I want to do what I like. I need that freedom to develop myself and to be who I am.

I think sometimes I also feel this way like sometimes I feel and want to be alone and sometimes I want to be with the company of others. I think most people wants to sit lonely at times and does not feel lonely and feels that there are someone with them and most times in their mind they might not be feeling lonely.

i like to be alone but that does not mean i am lonely, i would rather be with myself that people who can talk nothing but just themselves.

well my husband works 2nd shift and its just me and him here, so im alone every day 5 days a week, and alot of times i like it that way, i have gotten use to being alone and its kinda nice, on occasion my daughter will come by and if she spends the night it's kinda odd having someone here and i miss being alone.. there is occasion i get lonly nut not very often .. and i have my jack russell to keep me company too .. so im ok with being alone.. but glad to see my husband when he gets home too. i would not want to be alone all the time by myself i would hate that..

Ah nezavisima, I love being alone. :) And I am never lonely. I am not scared of loneliness. :)

hello nezavisima, being lonely and being alone is different situation for me. Sometime I need to be alone specially when I need to find inspiration or when I need to focus on something but it doesnt mean Im lonely, no Im not lonely. Some people may still feel lonely even if they are in the crowd, so the feeling of loneliness doesnt necessary about staying alone and have no friend to talk to, some people feel lonely even if she/he is surrounded by people. When we are alone it doesnt mean we are lonely, our mind and our idea keep us away from the loneliness, make us feeling better, make us so much focus to the thing we are doing and of course even if we are alone but if our feeling tells us that we have people out there who cares for us then we wont feel lonely.

You are right.If you are alone,then it does not mean that you are on Mars or moon.You are on this planet where there are a lot of people with the same feelings as you and sharing your thoughts.May be they are not with you,but they are somewhere there.May be i have been unable to express what i really mean to say,but one thing is certain being alone does not mean being lonely.It means being with people who are there with you virtually if not physically.

Being alone can sometimes be very useful . It makes it possible to bring the focus back to the really important things in life . Buddha was alone and reached enlightenment .

When you are Alone you are Always lonely! You may find something Amusing but Nope, you need companionship(-:

Hello nezavisima! Yes that is right! Sometime we are alone but we dosen't lonely. Some time we want time for myself. That time we can think about life and myself and some body round me.

Sometimes I like to be alone to think about something, to relax after a day spent in noisy places. I don't feel lonely during such moments. One of the biggest paradoxes in our life I think is when you feel alone although you are surrounded by people. So we may be alone but not feel lonely, and we can feel lonely and not be alone. It's a little crazy but that's life. Everything we feel has a reflection in the outside world but mostly comes form inside one's self.
