I believe that being lonely affects everyone a little differently. If you're someone that is surrounded with people all the time you might welcome some alone time, but to be lonely isn't really a positive thing. Loneliness means you're missing something you need to feel loved, appreciated, confident, secure, etc. People naturally have a need for these things. Loneliness that is experienced over an extended period of time will likely lead to depression if it isn't synonymous with depression. With that said I don't think loneliness should be taken lightly. If you are experiencing loneliness, then it is up to you to try and change it. Be proactive. Curing loneliness will not happen overnight, but doing nothing about it will only prolong the agony.

Yea , if you are lonely that means you are longing for companionship. There is a big difference between being lonely and being alone . Some people are alone but not lonely they just like it that way , but others are alone but may feel friends and family are enough to get them by or they may just not like people or being around them. IF YOU ARE LONELY ... you are probably wanting people in your life but I think you are talking about a mate am I right. GET A DOG UNTIL YOU FIND THAT SOMEONE

Clarify what you mean by big deal. I think being lonely sometimes is normal and okay. I think being lonely all the time is a problem. That would be a big deal to me, yes.

I think being lonely can become a big deal if it goes on for an extended amount of time.
I think that spending time alone is a very good thing, something that everyone should learn to love.

I do not think it is a big deal but you should get out and have fun without trying to find that special someone. Find a hobby. Go to places where you can meet new friends. Keep yourself busy then you will not feel so lonely.

You can be alone, and not be lonely. You can be lonely, and not be alone. I was much lonelier when I was married than I ever thought about being since she left. Lonely can be a big deal, but don't allow yourself to get lonely...stay busy!! LIVE!!

I am lonely and to me it's a big deal. I prefer to be with someone to share life but sometimes we are alone. It will get better. Work on yourself and stay busy. Things will come around.

Depends on the person....as for me being lonely means less drama and more peace in my life. As I get older I appreciate the lonely days :)

no because i have been lonely all my life and have been married twice and still married and have five children and friends and etc..We all have that loneliness..Its because if you really think about it you are alone whether you are with someone or not ..You are born alone and will die alone and truly are alone whether in a crowd or not or whatever..its how you choose to use that time and how happy you can be being alone..its a pretty deep subject but actually there have most times in my life i would rather had been alone. .

I feel alone a lot. I do think it is a big deal. I do a lot to keep myself busy. I got married to share my life and he's just not on that wave link with me. It is sad because I'm fun and enjoy life. I'm very positive in my thinking, thank goodness.
