It's nice to be a part of anything where it seems like you can help someone, even if it is yourself. Loneliness can assume many forms, and it hits all of us once in awhile. Yahoo answers is good therapy when someone's self-esteem needs a boost.

I'm not sure if it's lonelyness so to speak. I think it lets some people that like to help at least get a chance to try. It's fun for me. Some people need a hug and others need a slap upside the head. But it's all in good fun most of the time. It's plain simple entertainment. I love my video games but sometimes this is even more fun.

No, I don't think it really helps with loneliness since we don't actually talk to the people we address on here. Some may e-mail others personally but I don't.
I just like helping others and when I am watching TV or don't have energy to do much it is something I can keep busy with.

Okay. Do you want to date? I am ......
I don't think it is for loneliness. But rather a good way to share opinions and ideas. Its a way to connect to others. You shouldn't look for companion ship in yahoo answers. You should find a real person and interact on a more personal level.

No, I think for the most part, people use answers as a cure for diabeties, cancer, alchoholicism, a.i.d.s, and a bruised shoulder. What did it cure for you?

I use it when I am too tired to do anything physical but not tired mentally. :-) It is a nice way to wind down in the evenings. :-)

loneliness, curiosity, and boredom while trying to help at the same time
