You're right Rudy. I got my Jason Lee characters mixed up. Thanks. Point being even though it was intended to be funny, we all do things out of sheer desire or "being lonely".

lonely?...oh yes...quite often in fact...
A little less than a year ago, my life was as ideal as it had ever been (lonliness never crossed my mind)
Then...it all just seemed to fall apart..
I've re-grown somewhat accustomed to it recently.
which, in my opinion, is the worst part of lonliness..
the acceptance of it...
Yet I will continue to push forward...and will wait...
and be forever hopeful..
good luck to the countless others like myself...

I´m very lonely right now. A year ago I had lots and lots of friends and other nice people around me and now my life is mostly empty, for no particular reason. I guess people come and go like the tide sometimes. This year happens to be low tide. Annoying and depressing as hell. But I´ll be equally happy when the high tide comes. It´s just so frustrating to wait for it. All you can do in the meantime is continue to be socially active, take care of the friends you have and grab every opportunity to expand your horizons and meet new people. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn´t. Do not ask me why.

Sounds exactly like my life (see the above post) with the exception that I haven´t grown accustomed to it. And believe me, that´s just as painful. Anyway, it´s sort of comforting to hear I´m not the only one who lost most of my social life in just one year.

I can totally relate to this thread and the replies written to it.

I get lonely too. I get on really well with myself but sometimes it just isn't enough.

I get on really well with people but sometimes I am just looking for more.

Sometimes life sucks and I was and still am going through a really bad patch and was so low I thought there was no rescue for me. It comes and goes that's just me.
Prince really helps and coming onto the org is a comfort to me too.

I am happy today, and I hope CandyEyce you are too. Alot of people care, if you are lonely come onto the org!

Please go embrace a psychiatrist!

I graduated from college a little over a year ago and I found that after leaving college life, I was at the lonliest part of my life ever. I had a pretty big bout with depression for about 6 or 7 months after graduating. But once 2002 started and up to now, I've kinda put myself back together and hang out with a large group of friends often, and everything's real cool again. Sometimes it's hard to find a date though. Before I was always shy, but I've learned through my time in the weeds that you really have to just have to have the courage to ask people to hang out, even if you don't know them, just go on and ask. How else are you going to get to know someone?

I think I'm gonna answer my own question--that happens a lot actually, lol. Based upon further thought as well as some of the responses here, I think there are some good reasons to talk about loneliness on the Org/Internet. First, it's a relatively anonymous forum, so if a person is embarrassed or hesitant to admit to loneliness it probably feels a little safer to disclose it here. Secondly, it helps others in the same boat who are reading the thread by showing them that they're not alone in their loneliness (heh, heh, that's a bad pun) and that there's not necessarily anything wrong with them. Third, it offers the potential to hook up with others who understand and to "talk" about it, possibly offering support, advice and/or some type of friendship.

Ok, thanks, that's all!

Am I lonely? Yes, I always have been. I have my two year old, but he doe'snt count. I have often dated slime and settle for way less in my love life. If I was surrounded by friends, family, and significant others I would'nt feel this way. I do believe that Prince has had bouts of lonliness. He is often sheltered, and lives an isolated existance, so he might be. He often feels the only true friends he has are the ones on his payroll. Next?

Xtreme I gave people good advice and tried to give them a positive Affirmation . Why would you make a comment like Go See A Psychiatrist? I think You need one if you can't see that I care about people and want people to enjoy life. I know people who were Suicidal and these people feel like there is no Help and they feel Lonely also. I for 1 always say "Tommorrow is Another Day and it can only get Better." Even at your lowest moment it Will Get Better.

Of course your two year old can't count, I bet he can't spell either!

I used to have a lot of "friends" who were not very nice. I had a reall friend tell me once, 'be sure your friends are laughing with you and not laughing at you', it took me ahile to understand that and apply. I guess I didn't want to let go what I had, but I'm so much better off without them. I do spend a lot of time alone and I have some other things ot deal with, but I'm not surrounded by people who are TRYING to keep me dowm.
And I'm really glad I found the org!

Oh..
I feel somewhat better today.Thank you to everyone.
I'm glad other people have had a chance to express themselves on this topic.
I think it's better to get these feelings out of ourselves because they can be more painful and harmful if we try to hold them in.

---CANDYEYCE, is this a song of prince's? i never heard it if it is. anyway, this is some DEEP SEVERE DEPRESSION here. its hard to think of him feeling this way. makes me feel awful, but you r right. we can b unhappy being WITH someone (as i was 4 years), AND then again happy being ALONE with ones self that is (as i am now). it took me a long time to reach this plateau, as i definately SETTLED for SO MUCH LESS staying married to this man, even though i was LONELY all the time with him. however this state of affairs took it's toll on me in many ways, and it was like lightening hit me about a year ago. i finally realized that this man wasnt capable of love with anyone. i wasnt wasting any more of my time on this relationship! it was like a huge weight lifted off me and i'm so much happier! one thing this lonliness with him DID teach me is, i'm not afraid 2 b alone anymore. i used 2 b so afraid without him around. but he taught me well, i'd say. i had no choice but to learn. and i'm so glad. yes, lonliness DEFINATELY made me jump up and start to live again. still get a bit nervous, but getting better ALL the time. ---Is prince lonely? i cant answer THAT. i do feel that he might b though alot of the time. his needs havent fully been met yet. he's definately searching for someone/something i think. however, i feel he's fairly happy right now. no one is happy all the time.

Hi grandbelle.
Yes, THERE IS LONELY is a Prince song. It's from 'The Vault' CD released in 1999. I think it was the last CD to fulfill his contract with Warner Bros. I don't exactly know when the song was written, the linear notes say all the songs come from a time span between '85 and '94.
I'm sorry you personlly had to experience such pain in your relationship, but I'm glad that you're a stronger person for it.
I don't know if Prince is lonely either, but I do believe it is something he has struggled with for a long time. But I think his Music keeps him company. His music and his Muse. Prince seems to get everything out in the open and that way no matter what the pain, it can't take over his life.
I'm trying to learn to do that. That really is the best way to handle such things.

CANDYEYCE: Thanks for the info. u know i own THE VAULT, but never played it yet. i just have so much of him i love 2 listen 2. there is some i havent heard. it really sounds awfully depressing. it's good to get it out, thats 4 sure. writing it down is good too. as HE does before he puts it to music. and yes, they say when u go through something bad in life it DOES make u stronger and u come out with so much more understanding and wisdom AND appreciation 4 life. it's NEVER easy, even now, but lots better. good luck 2 u too candyeyce. thanks.
