THERE IS LONELY
Is it me or did the room just get darker?
Is it me or did I just lay down and die?
Is this a dream or did the world just crumble at my very feet?
How is Heaven will I ever be alright?

There is lonely and there is lonely
Then there is how I feel right now
Perhaps only Cain when he'd slain his brother
Could ever come close to knowing how

There is lonely and there is lonely
Then there is how I feel right now...
---Prince

Loneliness has been defined as a feeling of deprivation and dissatisfaction produced by a discrepancy between the kind of social relations we want and the kind we have.

It is not a matter of being with someone or not. We are not necessarily lonely when we are be ourselves, and we can be lonely if we are with someone who is not giving us what we want.

With that said...Would you describe yourself as lonely? Why/why not?
Do you think Prince is still lonely? Why/why not?

Has loneliness ever made you settle for less that you want? When? How?
Has loneliness ever made you get up and go after what you want (where you want to be)? When? How?

Whenever I feel lonely I get in my car, head downtown and pick up a whore...

Yes...yes I am...

Well, no...no I'm not...

I hope Prince isn't lonely. I know I'm not cause I have my friends,family and Prince music/videos to keep me company. That's all I need to keep me company. And I'm feeling fine.

Yes. And it'll never happen again.

I apologize for the depressing thread everyone, but I'm sick of trying to pretend everything is okay. Everything is not okay! If I hold it all in any longer I'm going to implode, so I need to let it out. Everything is not okay!!!
Sometimes I feel so bad that it hurts to breathe...

"Some of them I downright loathe"...

Brodie Boyd in "Mallrats" when asked if he loved everyone he had sex with.

I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to freak anybody out.
This is just where I am right now, I know it won't last forever. Thank you to all those who have sent positive vibes.

I admire your courage to be...exposed.
I'm usually not lonely when I'm alone.
I usually feel lonely when I'm in a crowded room full of people I don't(and sometimes)know.

We all go through our Fiona Apple-ish phases.
Don't sweat it,honey...there's a big neon sign at the end of the tunnel...

Perfect! And, you can be lonely within yourself. As I am right...NOW.

Yes, I would describe myself as lonely, as I am always searching within and not even finding myself.

Lovely song, it really is..one of my favorites, actually.

Candy I'll always be here if you need to talk. Don't cha worry. You know I'll always send my positive vibes your way and I wish you much Love.

yeah whatever

If you've ever just SETTLED remember Madonna's song Don't Go FOR 2nd BEST BABY PUT YOUR LOVE TO THE TEST. EXPRESS YOURSELF! These are words of WISDOM also when Depression hits you listen to the RAINBOW CHILDREN it's very UP-LIFTING and SPIRITUAL.. It will get you out of your Funk. It did me. You can indeed Help yourself if you so Choose and PLEASE,PLEASE always Choose LIFE. Always say YES and stay away from NEGATIVE PEOPLE and FORCES to ROT your MIND. Remember EVERLASTING NOW. Whatever makes you Happy EMBRACE. Run to the LIGHT and ESCAPE the DARKNESS.

There's a difference between being lonely and being alone.
If you choose to be alone, you are not necessary lonely. When you are alone and you don't want to be alone, you're lonely.

I'm not lonely, I'm not alone.

You are so right. I agree with you 100%

ChocolateInvasion said:

Not totaly true...you don´t have to be alone to be lonely.
You can be in a room full of people and still be lonely.

Jasper said:

True. But that is again something else then what I meant.
But true...

ChocolateInvasion said:

OK cool thanks

Oh their was another question...no I am not lonely.

Alone but not lonely! I have my radio. When not I have stillness. Okay... sometimes maybe...

for me it wasn't quite the same because i had always wanted to be in love first. when out of lonliness i did find myself in the arms of someone who i didn't love, i found it left me feeling even more alone than ever.

I'm not lonely cause I'm always at work. Therefore I'd actually like to be lonely sometimes.

You always got da family...

AzureStar said:

You should really listen to a certain song that someone wrote especially for you, recorded and sent to you... that should make you happy.

Lonely is as lonely does...and lonely is a state of mind.

If I was, why would I talk about it here?

AzureStar said:
