Lonliness isnt painful or bad

The problem that I see is when loneliness is a chronic state. At the end, we are social beings, it's in our nature. We need to feel connection with someone. That said, I think that to be alone with your thoughts every now and then is really good.

 

Yeah, nothing wrong with loneliness. Some people are considered powerful, because they can sit alone in a room for a long time alone, and not lose their minds. To me that always came naturally and when I first heard that sentence, I laughed because i thought it was ridiculous. But then I got to know some people who really couldn't be alone for a single moment, and saw that it can really be a gift if you have been lonely and have learned to cope with it, one way or another.

But it's also good not to suppress the need to communicate with other people, since that need can be the driving force for you to go out and explore the world, meet new people. If you deny that need, you will most probably feel this emptiness, which some people mix up with loneliness or solitude. I think everybody needs time spent with other people and time spent alone. Those who spend no time alone, are likely very shallow people.
