I think lonliness happens when people aren't happy or content within themselves. I can be alone and never be lonely - as a matter of fact I very much value my alone time.

I used to suffer from this but now that my life is so busy....i actually value my alone time. I do miss meaningful conversations which leads to me feeling depressed because I feel some needs are not being met. There really aren't many good QUALITY people to talk with and have meaning ful conversations with these days. Most people are poisonous and always want to spread there poison to me. Misery loves company! I feel the best when im around people who believe in what I believe in and can relate with. Spiritually and in the natural! We need that companionship. We need to try to find ways of making contact with our spouses and not just sexually. Just going over to the couch and sitting beside them, try to make converstaion, try to get inside of there minds.

My husband and I have rarely been able to watch a movie or TV show together because we end up talking so much to each other that we don't care about what's on TV...and this we still do after 8 years together. We also love doing road trips together as there always seems so much to talk about.

Ezmee,
Yeah....it's neat how now that we've been married almost eight years that we can almost finish each others sentences before we both finish. He makes me laugh and I make him laugh more than any other time in our marriage. Once you get to know each other and let go of all the petty stuff.....marriage can be fun. It's imporatnt to not only be there spouse but be there friend too.

I don't mind being alone. As a matter of fact, sometimes I prefer it. But am I lonely?
I have all my friends at work, I know all my neighbors, I have my dog, parrot, fish, plants, I go to study most evenings, drop in the forum when things have quieted down... I can't really say that I'm lonely. It would be nice to have a girlfriend or spouse, but at this point in my life, I'm too damn busy to be lonely. Maybe if I was Robinson Crusoe I'd feel different. If SHE comes along, great. If not, that's ok too.
I think loneliness is an introversion (someone being stuck inside their heads). Getting yourself OUT THERE and involved in Life will keep you moving along. Set some personal goals and work towards them. I would say the same thing if someone were "depressed."

I do understand you Ezmee,but my type of loneliness is not missing someone I see everyday.Because the only people I see everyday are my siblings.Am young,and the friends from my boarding school I really had for the first time in my life are no more here with me.What I used to feel was the situation of not seeing them,but now I have decided to stop calling them cus they don't call me.Am gotten used to it now.But anytime I sit doing nothing I start to think I have no friends and feel terrible.I even decided to stop calling my best friend.Am just trying to find new friends now...perhaps those I will always have around me.I just want someone to be there for me at all times.

I found myself feeling the same way, old friends that gradually became distanced... I think that as we grow as people, the people that we used to feel drawn towards are no longer needed or wanted in our lives. This is normal, I think that one shouldn't be so quick to dimiss them completely though, an occasional call might be a good idea. I have the belief that as we move through this thing called life, people will move into our lives with a lesson, viewpoint or set of ideas that are meant to move us forward in our growth. I would try to connect with people that share common interests, its funny how life presents us with just what we need if we seek with eyes open. I think that the old saying 'listen to your heart' has alot of value, its good to trust your intuition.

I think everyone needs a lot of quality human contact in their life. Relationships and love are the most important things in this world. Surrond yourself with positve and caring people. Also I've found that having an animal companion is also great if you are feeling lonely! My dog is always happy to see me when I come home!

Adesana - I agree with Lindsay on the dog thing, I couldn't imagine life without one. You are young now and it seems that when you are young friendships have more importance, but as you grow older you seek quality and not quantity in friends. I have some friends in my life that I have known and kept in touch with more than 20 years. Each of my friendships is different and unique. My best friend from highschool and I share a history together, my other best friend and I share a specail bond becasue we both lost our husbands very young. My other friend is the nicest and kindest man I know, and another friend and I share that we both ride Harleys...you get my point.People come into your life for a reason. I am fortunate that my friends are male AND female and my husband loves that about me. When you need something in life it will come to you, there is a reason now that you are lonely, maybe it's as simple that you need to do some soul searching and come to a place of peace within yourself. Hope this helps.
