At times, it is difficult to not have someone right there to talk with or to sleep with or to just have another life in the house. But, there is always the telephone to call friends and family. Knowing I am loved is a big help to fighting off the occasional lonliness. I have started doing some volunteer work and see so many people that are in the same boat and feel I am helping them as much as they are helping me. Best of luck to you.

Msot of the times I dont, as long as I am completly alone it doesnt bother me. Sure, I get bored sometimes but I go out on my own to do other things such as shop, workout; or I stay inside listening to music watching TV, reading a book, being on the internet. There are so many things that you can do, dont let it get to you and find your inner self thats the best thing to do when being alone. Soon that feeling of loneliness will pass, try going out more and meeting new people.

I hate being alone - I am my own worst enemy! I am currently waiting for my new job to start so I have spent the past few days at home alone and I end up thinking terrible things like hypochondria! I also get so bored that I just eat and eat and eat. That of course then makes me feel worse. I think it's best to keep busy then you don't feel the boredem or the loneliness

I have lived alone for the last 10 years and love it. For the first 45 years of my life I was constantly surrounded by people who I had responsibility for-younger siblings, spouse, children, and patients at the hospital where I worked. After my children married and moved out on their own, I cared for my elderly mother until she died in 1996. For several months after her death, I had to force myself to get up in the morning and start doing something. Over the last several years I have learned to appreciate my own company and the fact that I can do what I want, when I want, and not cater to anyone else and their needs. I spend my time to please myself. It may sound selfish, but I have served my family and society most of my life, so it is now my time. And I enjoy every day of my life to the fullest.

I tend to enjoy being alone. I like the quiet and the time to contemplate and read and watch my own thoughts unfold. I think in these times there is a great deal of pressure to be "out and doing" and that this, in combination with such things as television tends to make us think of solitude in a negative way.
Solitude is of great benefit. Sit through the feeling of loneliness and boredom and you will discover that on the other side there is a wealth of thought and discovery.

No not always. I usually listen to music when I'm alone, you become one with it and it's like balm for your soul. The same thing with writing poetry. Sometimes you need to be by yourself. You learn more how you work, it's important because then you work better with others. You know the person that's never going to leave you as long as you are alive , yourself. And in that way you will go through life without a fear :)

I sometimes like being alone, it gives me a chance 2 gather my thoughts, the best time is when my daughter goes 2 bed at nite and I can just relax, chill & enjoy the peace & quiet. Other times I think im going mad on my own & invite everyone rnd. Depends on my mood really

Try it! Perform a social experement upon yourself - cutting yourself off and becoming a recluse - then write a report. I think it would lead to social problems but at the same time I believe humans are very adaptable and would fare quite well. Have you seen castaway - he's just a nutter, talking to a ball and all!

i like my alone time. i read a book. catch up getting organized. plan my next trip or project. browse around the local bookstore. set personal goals. use the time to call family members i've not spoken to in awhile. surf the web. take a relaxing bath while listening to my favorite CD. sometimes just catch up on sleep. watch tv. polish my toenails. hang up clothing. do situps.
you have to find something to do in your private time so it'll be quality time not boring and/or lonely time. consider starting a club. get online and look for people in your area.
good luck.

I love a bit of time on my own when I can get it.
It's a temporary freedom from others which I enjoy.
Wouldn't like it to last long though!
If you are lonely there's always YA or a host of other things on the internet
