...even if you are surrounded by people whom you love and who love you back?

You are al-one because we are all-one. The 'thing' creating the idea of misery about this idea is the imagined 'self' you call 'you'. We are all one big, connected, singular movement. The 'you' learns how to be 'sentimental' and fabricates ideas of isolation which are in no way real. You don't 'need' any one else because you 'are' everyone else. You learned to imagine your 'self' as separate.

Yes, and sometimes we are all alone well before the end of the day, even if we are surrounded by loving people. We are connected, but we are still alone. Is that so bad?

I am a soldier with a wife and children. There are no words to express the difference between going to bed alone in a trailer halfway across the world and tucking your children in at night before you fall asleep in the arms of your spouse. If you have a family of your own, I suggest physically separating yourself from them for a period of 12-15 months, going somewhere where there's a chance you may not come back alive, and then making a decision based on the emotions you experience during your period of separation. Tell me if you feel alone the very moment you see them again.

We all have those days and those moments, neither of which make us feel as though we're really worth something in our lives. The truth is, no matter how "alone" we arrived or how "alone" we are when we depart, we are all inextricably tied together.

To be frank, we have no choice but to interact. Human contact is essential for the soul to thrive - it yearns for it constantly. Feeling alone is that yearning. It is your heart calling for the other hearts that will reassure it that it is loved. If you never felt loneliness, you'd never know the value of company.

Yes, I understand what your saying. I've felt that way before, but unfortunately, I don't know why I feel that way. I am always surrounded by friends and family, but when it gets late, I feel as though I am alone. I wish I could help you find out why.

Of course we are. We came into the world alone and we die alone, and most of the time we live alone, so learn to LOVE yourself and hope that you can fill most of the day with good people but beyond everything be good (and true) to yourself.

Yes I know what you are saying I think though when I did live with others and I felt that way it was when i was extremely depressed in my life because of the people around me and I shut them out!!!!!They only made my depression worse or I needed to shut them out to survive and that is for me what caused my aloneness....................

I never feel alone, even when I am physically alone. I have many interests, and many wonderful memories.
