If you have you felt very lonely,can you describe what thoughts,images & other feelings pop up into your head?

Question

I believe all emotions have a good side and a bad side, but to know that, you have to feel them and explore them instead of trying to deny or suppress them. Feeling lonely can lead to depression and despair if you don't recognize the feeling--that's the bad side. If you do recognize the feeling and use it to propel you to seek out others to be with- well that's the good side. A conscious feeling-thinking person who can identify their emotions is able to use their feelings in the good ways. To those who think I am falling off some emotional cliff, there is no need to worry. It's the people who don't understand loneliness and can't feel it, are the ones you should worry about it.

And please do not give me the fifth degree for asking a Q that stimulates self-awareness and emotional and spiritual growth.

Now then, it's time to perform the *lonely* task of picking the best answer from those I received. And the best answer in my opinion is:

Answer 1

This poem for one- when I was feeling like everything was meaningless, probably from loneylness.

It’s not good for me to breathe this air,
So vain,
It’s not right for me to smile,
When so many are in pain.

It’s not good for me to eat,
Too much, too little, or at all,
It’s not good for me to see too much,
Too much will weigh me, make me fall.

It’s not good for me to love you,
Unless others think it so.
It’s not right that it don’t matter,
That I will feel low.

It’s not good that I am resting,
If no-one else skips any beats.
It’s not right for me to think something,
That no-one friendly greets.

It isn’t right that I see sadness,
As much as I see right,
It doesn’t really matter,
There is always dark and always light.

So it is of no importance how I feel.
I’m always wrong and always right.
There is right in the wrong,
And wrong in the right.

It isn’t good for me to think that,
It isn’t good for me not to,
It isn’t good for me to want that,
Now I just want you.

But it isn’t good for me to want you,
Unless others think it so.
It’s not right that it don’t matter,
That I will feel low.

But don't think that you are alone... You FEEL lonely, but there are several cures... You already know the answer to your question, andd we all already know it too...

Here are some cures...

Answer 4

when i feel that, i grab a book (usually romance) and read it. it gives me comfort that there is still goodness and love, even in books. i get to forget that i am lonely when reading. books are a great company.

but at other times, there seems to be no cure. i just get restless...i want to do something but i can't pinpoint the exact something. by then i go rumaging in my boxes and look for art stuff or pictures of happy moments with my friends or letters that encourage me. art really is another comfort for me. what i can't put into writing, i can paint. then all the emotions go into my work.

then there are times, when im at my lowest low, i just snap out of it and tell myself that it's always a choice. i ask, why am i lonely? is it because i have deprived myself of the things that make me happy or i simply miss human contact? what do i get out of sulking? that's the point when i decide that sulking is not worth it and i get back into the game.

hey, thanks. i think i needed that. i have so many things to do right now, so much energy, but i just don't know how to channel it. if i don't do anything about it soon, im going to be chased by deadlines. i don't like that. thanks for the thought.

Answer 5
