you can be in a crowded room and still be lonely

Loneliness
by Rebecca Drollinger
It is cold today
Indeed the rain is falling and I am alone.
Thoughts of life and love,
meaningless to anyone but myself.
I am alone.
They watch me, their eyes not knowing,
knowing nothing of what they see.
I am but another creature, alone.
They scurry on the surface, unaware,
unaware of the life below
when you are alone.

Loneliness, not a burden nor a sorrow,
but a time of solace, of deepness
never to be shared, never to be understood.
They can never reach the place where I am
And I know I will never reach the place where they are.
I know I don't want to reach that place.
True happiness is here, unmisted.
Unmisted by smiles or laughter,
unmisted by the joys of company.

To find true happiness,
to know if one is truly happy,
he must be happy alone.

it helps to feel good about yourself... like that you need less in the way of affirmation from others.

just something i've observed. nothing personal.

OMG I just replied to an orgnote someone sent me and I want to kind of copy it over.

I wanted to kind of discuss this topic, I wasnt seeking sympathy

Some of the cruelest forms of torture are lonliness. Put some prisoner on their own for long enough and they will slowly go crazy and give up any information needed.

People can be lonely with many friends around them. Thats my lonliness. I didnt discuss it on the thread cos I didnt want the thread to be about me. I wanted to discuss it generally.

Alot of people may be lonely on the Org, cos if they arent posting they would be doing something else - correct?

I love my own company, I love being with friends. I love going out, I dont have a problem. I have many many very very good friends.
Even the tiniest things can make one lonely, not cos they really ARE lonely. Physically.
I just seem too independent, I mean on a day to day level and sometimes I wish I could share my burdens of bills, money problems, housing difficulties, time keeping, travel etc etc.

And I do have a loving family (and friends) but sometimes things you just gotta do it alone. Thats when I thought to myself I AM lonely.

Hence my thread



Love to you all though!

Thank you!!!

mmm,interesting redfeathers,
right here right now i can say that i am all alone,but i've chosen to be,i've taken the day off work and now kind of wish i hadn't cause i have no one to call up or go see,my husband is thousands of miles away as is my best friend and my family are hundreds of miles away.i'm realising my loneliness at present is self inflicted, i chose to move away from my family, i encouraged my husband to work abroad, and i have only one close friend cause i find having too many people in my life makes it complicated i can't be bothered with all the drama and crisis that comes along with them(selfish i know)most of the time i'm happy with my life,happy to be independant with no hassles from people, but today it's pissing down with rain and i'm at a loose end wishing i could call up my friend and go for a girlie lunch and shop!
so, guess what i'm gonna do?
go buy a bottle of wine and a bag of walker sensations and a huge bar of chocolate!
see loneliness is bad for your health and your waistline!
bollocks to it
i'm on my period i'm bloated anyway!!
xx

Thanx for that cammille

But while your hubby is away, dont you just want him to be there when you get a nasty letter from the bank or you want a lift somewhere or you just wanna share how your day went with him?

They can be really lonely times.

i always turn to my best mate for things like that.although i never need lifts anywhere from people i drive myself or get cabs,i hate to rely on others.sometimes i feel the need for a nice warm kiss and a hug,
but anyguy will do for that as long as he smells good













kidding
