So what is loneliness? Is it a feeling, a condition, does mean a different feeling or a different thing for different people. How do we describe it exactly? What is loneliness for you?

Buddhists believe it comes from attachment. Scientists say out brains are wired for social contact. Discussion? conversing

I'm only lonely when I miss someone. The sound of their voice, the warmth of their arms. I have had years and years of contact and communication. I love my alone time. Even when I feel loneliness, it is a feeling.

Loneliness is a condition of human life, an experience
of being human which enables the individual to sustain,
extend and deepen his humanity.
Efforts to overcome or escape the existential experience
of loneliness can only result in self-alienation.
When man is removed from the fundamental truth of life, when
he successfully evades and denies the terrible loneliness
of individual existence, he shuts himself off from the one
significant avenue of self growth.

Only by embracing loneliness may its grip be broken.

The antidote to loneliness is to embrace loneliness.

loneliness is an emotion people feel when they yearn for company, within their hearts... it has two parts to it..

the emotional/spiritual part, and a physical part, many of us don't get as lonely emotionally, because we have GOD with us in our hearts'.. But we all get lonely from time to time with physical loneliness.. because it is through touch, that allows us to feel comfort, and comfort on the outside, can help soothe the soul inside...JMOcheers
