helps you know urself more, and help you realize what you really are in life, or want in your life. but after a while it's not good. YOU NEED FRIENDS. life is too long & you only live once. live it to the fullest. not lonely & boring. live. laugh. love ! [= mymoto!

Answer 2

I think most of us experience it to some degree or the other..people that are surrounded by crowds and all walks of life married not married and everything in between.it gives us a creative side ..Of not being dependent on another creature.. but to have a person within a person .. because when you think about it we are born alone and die alone.. and its life..Loneliness can be a good thing when it turns to creation of art,music and poetry and other things that people do when they are lonely .Most people don't know the secret feelings or emotions that are put into an artist work,but its an expression deep within them of how they are feeling about their lives and maybe someone else at the very moment of creation..Its an expression of loneliness.Some of the greatest works of art and also music and poetry were created from this feeling,even works of master writers .If it weren't for that feeling there might never have been art,expression or anything in between..so if you think of it that way then yes loneliness can be a wonderful thing. .

Answer 3

I know exactly how you feel....hence the fact that i'm online at 2am answering other people's questions. I think in a way it helps you to become a more independant person. I know when im in relationships i depend on someone else to be there for me too much, and finally, if things don't work out and i have to go back to being by myself i never know what to do with myself. I feel lost. So in a way, i think loneliness can very well help.

Answer 4

God YES!~~ yes, yes it definately CAN be positive. everytime I've been lonely during the most lonely periods in my life, it's as if the core of your utter sadness completely opens up....when the pain surfaces and can be pretty intense sometimes (or just mild) something extremely spiritual spirals from the core of your being, the root of your soul and reaches your spirit, mind and heart. Suddenly it's like there's an alignment--a new refreshed way of looking at life because spiritual realizations have manifested. In the long run, for me, it's always been my soul that heals my mind. During these times can be challenging, no doubt about it. But one must be open to healing on all levels for it to happen. Journalling has helped a great deal no matter what chapter in life I'm living :o) [open up to Spirit]

Answer 5

Yes, it can be if we can view and accept it as a normal way of our lives. Then we need to do something constructive and relaxing so that we can while away our time with less loneliness. Indeed, we need good friends as well as our favorite things like good books, radio/TV programs, gardening, going out walking/jogging, having a weekly parties, starting a small joint venture like a small cafe selling good coffee, etc. So you can see we will never be lonely if we have something to do day in day out. A great man of letters of mine, Dr Johnson, said,"If you are solitary, be not idle; if you are idle, be not solitary".
Take care.

Answer 6

Yes! It is the moment of your own reflections, of your creativeness, of your passionate guilty feeling, ... but for the last, do not be so indulged in it as it will take you down into your own oblivion. Loneliness is a meditation not of your choice but by your low self steem.

Share that loneliness with other people you care through Jesus for its positive impositions.

Answer 7

loneliness is only possible when you are a strong person. because we are made to be social. To live in groups together.
only a very strong person in mind and soul can live alone - and the word alone is not correct....I mean independent. An independent person is free from the opinion of other people. That is strenght.-
So, if you are not a strong person it is better to stay in a group.

Answer 8

It can be a bad feeling. But then you can realize, you can use this time to get closer to yourself. You can find yourself while being away from the rest of society. You can find out what you want from yourself, what you want to achieve and many other things without society or other people breathing down your neck. You may be lonely, it may feel bad, but all experiences in life are meant to help you grow. Take advantage of the time. But sooner or later, we all need friends.

Answer 9

Yeah, if you see it as a way of learning about yourself and reflecting on life. But if you see it as the worst feeling in the world then its a negative.

Answer 10

I think the lonely times might make you appreciate the small things in the next relationship you're in. I know there were things I took for granted with my last girlfriend, I won't make the same mistakes next time.
