how do you convert loneliness into solitude?

Answer 1

Loneliness comes from a lack of feelings of significance that one gets through relationship to other living things or beings.

Solitude is a place that one goes to or is driven to by the noisiness of living amidst the same agents which one would otherwise derive relational significance from.

Sometimes we give to others the power to satisfy our deep longings but it can never truly accomplish that which we intended for it to do until we can find within ourselves the significance of self apart from others.

The attainment of inner peace is dependent upon our knowledge of who we are and to whom it is we are significant to.

At times I am lonely for the companionship of loved ones and it is actions that I take to remedy the loneliness that lead to feelings of significance.

If there is no one to whom you feel significant to, remember that feelings follow actions.

Solitude can be experienced and shared with another joyously.

Loneliness does not leave with the presence of others, but with quality relationship to others.

When you are lonely...seek out the lonely.

Answer 2

I converted loneliness into solitude by enjoying my own company. Solitude feels peaceful and joyful when you come to the realisation that you are enough and perfect just as you are and that you need nothing or no one outside of yourself to feel whole.

So when you do decide to spend time with people, it will be because you want to and that you wish to share the feeling of peace and happiness you have within.

You may find that when you realise this, however, bear in mind that some relationships may change and even fall away - but this will always be to your benefit, as the relationships will be based on truth and intimacy and not need.

You came into this world perfect and whole and you are still this, so really there is no work to be done. When you feel lonely remind yourself that EVERYTHING you need is within you so how could you possibly need it from anyone else.

Hope this makes some sense....x

Answer 3

Any one of us can be lonely, even in a crowd -- but solitude is by choice.

Loneliness is a negative condition whereas solitude, when it is our own choice can be a serene experience. How to convert one into the other? I am not sure that you can. To not feel lonely is to get out there and make the effort (difficult if you feel negative) to interact with people. To choose solitude you have to have a valid reason such as learning to look into yourself.

Answer 4

loneliness and solitude are different as apples to oranges. loneliness happens from your skin inward, solitude happens skin outward. I was the mother of a big family and I never had solitude but I was lonely in that crowd sometimes. Now they are grown and gone, I have lots of solitude now. I sometimes get lonely for those little kids I use to have but I am making the most of my solitude. I am forever growing.

Answer 5

Stop caring whether you are alone, if you can. You most except it is all.
I hope I didn't belittle what it truly takes because accepting such a thing is most likely the single hardest thing we as human beings can attempt. It is far more easy to go set in a public place so that in time your loneliness goes away with the help of people you find there.
Good luck in achieving what you want........

Answer 6

Loneliness is when you are sad because you do not have the company of others, which you crave. Solitude is being perfectly happy being alone because you know yourself.

It is only a question of changing records.

Answer 8

Through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy i.e. changing the way you think.

Loneliness can be caused by distorted thinking i.e. "I need a partner in order to do routine things" e.g. going shopping. By getting the person to understand that they can do things without a partner, and to enjoy their own company, can help. Paradoxically, a person who enjoys their own company is more likely to attract a potential partner.

Answer 9

You can be alone and not lonely just as you can be lonely in a crowd.

Solitude can be found in any remote place.
