But in general, not really. Did you know that during WWII they specifically chose asocial types who preferred being alone to be the guards at concentration camps? It's nice to know that forum poster's here would have fitted right in amongst the Auschwitz staff(and to be honest, I can see why).
Anyway, I really don't think the online world is good for people at all. I think it just reinforces reclusion, exclusion and asociality.
I never consider fill out “loneliness” with someone to fill that “space”. if I do that, definitely it will grow into being lonely. I think understand and know what it is that we want… in life is the key.
“Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself.”.
Do I enjoy having some time to myself, spending quiet moments reading or daydreaming? Yes I do. Do I have to remain single and alone to have these moments? A resounding No!
I have learnt to be alone, and certainly prefer being alone to being with the wrong partner. But loneliness, that empty, hollow feeling is always there when something good happens in my life and I want to share the joy of it, or when I arrive home from work to a dark and empty house with no one to give me a hug or listen to my day's woes, or someone to snuggle with under the duvet on cold rainy nights.
I'd give up my solitary existence in a heartbeat to be with the man I fall in love with and who loves me in return.

Funny so far apart you and I on this tiny planet yet our thinking is so alike. It is as if you wrote this for me.

Been alone for most part of nearly 5 years now...so comfortable with myself, yes....I have wonderful company!
Problem is when you talk to these fandangled physiatrists & they ask you: Was the cat at the door when you got got home? Were the dogs at the gate.... " " " "? Do you talk to your plants today? Did they lean towards ya? OMG!
I know I am quiet in life and twice a week I work with a young man who talks every breath about total nonsense. I have actually said stuff to him I should not say just to get a moments silence. I have asked him don't you ever shut up. Then I feel like a bully Wonder what makes them talk so much about total nonsense.

I could not have said it any better. I tried twice to get out of that seemingly eternal emptiness and hollowness. I figured that anyone was , had to be better than no one. I just crossed my fingers and hoped that somehow things would work out. 'Things' didn't but not being lonely was relished while it lasted. Now I no longer care. I have lived alone most of my life, childhood included. No one wanted me and though I tried to adjust and accept that , it is at times still hard but futile to hope, especially when I see how happy others can be and those that are. Thank God not everyone is not as I am; not so unwanted.

To think, then yes I do.
