The idea is that you build the walls around you when you are alone, shutting the rest of the world out. The statement doesn't consider people building walls together and adding doors to the walls, making a safe community with many friends. In addition people can be lonely even though they have "built bridges" simply because no one wants to come to visit them. Reaching out to other persons can in fact make you feel even more lonely if you do it and get rejected. The "walls" has a purpose since they protect emotions, the "bridges" might not lead to less loneliness, and walls and bridges is not really a good way to describe interactions between persons since they are static and people are not.

Ok, what's with the 6-5 sentences?! I don't get it! Am I in the Twilight Zone?!

The previous sentences are not part of my answer but just my own questions, as a sidebar. This is also a paranthetical statement as is the one before it & also are not meant to count toward my quota of 5-6 sentences (aka 6-5 here in the Twilight Zone...)

The answer:

Yes people are lonely because they build walls around themselves. No one wants to be hurt so they build an impenetrable fortress around their heart, too high to climb. They become so good at keeping people out that they wind up lonely because they haven't allowed anyone in. We need to build bridges instead. To allow people to get close to us.

To build bridges, people must be open to new opportunities and ideas. This can also leave them vulnerable to be hurt. When people experience pain, they remember where that pain came from. They don't want to feel that kind of pain again, so they begin to build a little wall from that type of situation, or that individual. As they experience more pain, they continue building on that wall. Before too long, the wall is deep and long and they can't see their way out.

People who get hurt, put up walls, and shut people out, and the don't let friends get close to them. Therefore the become lonely.

If we were more forgiving of mistakes people made, or forgave them for hurting our feelings, we would leave the door open for friendship, not but up our gaurd or "build a wall", thus we would be building a bridge to gap the hurt.

I was a very sensitive child.
I found out when I was 12, my mother has 6 months left to live.
I decided if I dind't like her, it wouldn't hurt me when she died.
She lived 29 more years, and it took me 2 decades to tear down the walls I put up as a defense mechanisim to cope.

Now, I try to give people the benifit of the doubt, leaving the way to friendship open, like a door that leads to a bridge.
when we have misunderstandings, we often toss up walls and block out or push away loved ones so they won't hurt us again, instead we can leave the door of friendship open, give them a second chance, and build bridges to mend the gaps of miscommunication. By building bridges, we can cross back and forth and be friends when our people are trustful again.

i hope this has helped.

we cannot climb over an emotinal wall that we put up to protect ourselves from hurt. And we are lonely inside our walls.
if we built bridges instead of walls, we would have ways to communicate back and forth and move freely about to visit one another. you cannot see over the wall.

Hmmm, nice question...............

I think there are all types of people around there................some are good listners, some are good speakers, some are very good writers...........

Some people love to socialise.........some want to be in there own world...................

It does not mean if a person is recluse, is not a good person......or there's something wrng with him................

We all are different....................what would be a use of living in a world where every one is similar..........

I will say the every person has distinct attitude.............its this distinction from the rest that makes him exclusive

You know Picasso.............he was totally a recluse.............he doesnot find a friend on this world.........but still he the most admired painter untill now..............

Sorry, friend...

They are lonely because they absolutely do not build anything... and are up to destroy everything.
