The feeling of loneliness and the feeling of being unloved and uneeded comes first to mind.

We're animals, and as such one of our prime motives is pairing up and leaving offspring.

Most people are alone. Everyone is do dishonest... I feel alone do to the knowledge that I have acquired. Not that I am some genius, but it isn't do to hard to see everyone holds certain things to themselves. Without certain truths being said... you will always be alone. I hope to achieve a true close relationship soon... or I am going to lose it.

Xaos, I can always rely on you to provide media links to obscure songs and movies and TV shows; thus making threads 6x more enjoyable :)

i am not trying to act like anything more than what I currently feel like being. You clearly are a moron. Stay an ignorant baboon... so people like me can crush you and use you.

Nobody knows the real You but Yourself.
You can try show it and explain it to others. But they will only perceive and experience what fits their beliefs.

At first, this can feel like it's a bad dream. You don't want to be alone at all.
But when You realize that it has always been this way and You have still known fun, company and love, You realize feeling lonely is not dependant on how alone You are, but on what is going on in that mind of Yours.

Again the world is what You make of it.

Of course you can be truly alone. There have been several cases where an elderly person dies in their home, and isn't discovered for weeks, because nobody keeps in regular contact with them. People don't want to end up alone because its not a nice way of living out your years, and because people want to be remembered.

Well, i personally would further the elaborations on your raised points for substantiating purposes like this. (:

Nobody knows the real You but Yourself. You can only emit what you contain, the emitted is the only observable sum, but it is by no means the only sum present.

You can try show it and explain it to others. But they will only perceive and experience what fits their beliefs. Perception is governed by the inclinations bound to and assessed in their subjectively deemed proper fields of relevance.

At first, this can feel like it's a bad dream. You don't want to be alone at all. We being the social creatures that we are, a product which offsprings from both nature and nurture, the question of whether or not we are alone is of high importance to us, but as with all things deemed of high importance, the questions raised and the answers given to the "rights" and "wrongs" vary -- leaving this almost a perpetual point of concern throughout our lives.

But when You realize that it has always been this way and You have still known fun, company and love, You realize feeling lonely is not dependant on how alone You are, but on what is going on in that mind of Yours. it is about perspective and relevance. If you feel lonely, these feelings can be circumvented by a process of intellectualization at the very least, a process which is pretty much autonomous to us.

But as you can see, i perfectly agree with your overall points. :)

Try telling that to all the elderly people who live on their own day in day out, with no visitors, waiting to die. :(

I write a lot of stuff in danish. :) The only english i use, is the material i type up within this board, really. :P

Regarding the notion you aired; i dunno´, it sounds heavy in labour to be honest! I spend a lot of time and energy translating my thoughts into english. ;3

Regarding lasting serious relationships in adulthood, I think there are certain societal pressures that are put on people to get married or at least to have a long-term partner. There's a certain stigma against being an old spinster or lonely old "cat lady." People sometimes look down on others or think of them as pathetic, unappealing, etc., and then they write them off as unfit for a mate, as if it's a bad thing. People, for the most part, don't want to look "weird."

If you don't love yourself, who will? Everyone is born alone, spends most of his time alone, and dies alone. You are nothing but yourself, no one else. Their company is not forever.

I wasn't born alone. I was born in a hospital, and I'm 75...no wait...85% sure that my mom was there.

I think it comes from a fear of dying and stinking up the apartment you live in because your body does not get discovered after many weeks.
