Question

i mean how does that work...it just doesnt make any sense really...what would you do to improve or rectify this strange imbalance???...;0)

while i agree with the view that its ok to be alone and being content with yourself is crucial...those things dont change the fact that there are many people out there unhappy feeling lonely...even if they are happy with themselves...we are allegedly social animals by nature ...;0)

ok...let me clear this up...for those who dont know me...i am not looking for personal advise...just have an interest in human behaviour and energy...things like this make me think sometimes and i like to know what other people think too....im a curious little thing...;0)

Answer 1

Its not the world,just the countries that watch too much T.V.

Answer 2

Postmodern culture is designed to alienate people to the point that they don't even know who they are anymore, much less who they want to be with. This is the lovely world we live in where society makes us unhappy so we'll go out and buy stuff to cheer ourselves up. The fact that we're lonely disguising the fact that we are all living pointless emotionally impoverished lives. The odds are when people do get together they'll still feel lonely. People don't know how to connect nowadays, it's not their fault, blame the system, you'll feel better!!

Answer 3

share and share alike ?
technology does us no favours though,
time was men (or women! ) could have lovers on the side with no real chance of being caught, now everyone is suspisious, and have evry thing short of a tracking beacon installed in their computers and mobiles.
surely ignorance is better sometimes? i we could do what we wanted then that would ease some of the lonely peop's waiting for loves to be dumped?
also being alone and lonely are 2 different things.
i am surrounded by peops but often lonely, and the single guys and gals out there aren't all lonely.... some are loving it!

Answer 4

People have not learned that it is ok to be alone--and to be alone does not have to mean that you are lonely. Being lonely is because we have not learned to love ourselves, do things for our selves and make ourselves happy. We are so caught up in the society stereotype that you are suppose to be married, with 2.5 children and live in a house with a white picket fence that we have forgotten to place emotional energy in ourselves. And how many people that live in that stereotype are unhappy? People need to find the inner peace that makes each of us "ok" with being with just ourselves--then being alone is ok--and lonely is just a lyric in a song!!

Answer 5

Because of biases, prejudice, ignorance, selfishness, etc., etc.

Any number of things they label or believe....

Answer 6

I think loneliness is a personal feeling. When a person is lonely, he is at that point the one who thinks, or feels or believes that he is lonely, and it is only himself that can find a solution.

How is a solution found? If one gets involved with other things, or persons devoting one's time, efforts, or skills to them, loneliness will be cured. You won't be lonely and the others you are focusing your attention on won't be lonely either. That way, we will all begin to feel each other and loneliness will reduce in the world.

One person a time can change loneliness - and that is you! :)

Answer 7

People, at the end of the day take no pleasure in their existence because they are allways told that they need or want more!

they are told this fact by other people who want something from then because they lack something critical in their life!

you should learn to love your self for what you are & find the things ( big or small) that make your life worth living!

Live, love, laugh & never regret anything that made you smile :)

Answer 8

i believe lonliness is a thing of the mind.it does not take much to make afriend but it takes a lot to be a friend. so many pple are used to if it is not useful then dump it. Rships go beyond that it means making sacrifices and making time for special things.

Answer 9

I think the media scares people into thinking they're not good enough. We live in a world where television and radio dominate our daily lives - all these beautiful people can make you feel insecure about yourself.

To put it simply, we're shy.

Answer 10

People are too dependent on others to make them happy. If someone is lonely they arent happy. If someone isnt happy, they wont find anybody to stop them from being lonely. The key is to find peace with yourself and be happy. You will find others will be drawn to you if you are pleased with yourself.

Answer 11

too many walls between people nowadays, too many unrealistic expectations, too many diseases, too much emphasis on work and money vs relationships, and trust in others has really become an issue. People are lonely becouse we are afraid of finding the wrong person and getting hurt........again.
