Many people live alone, often away from family or friends because of work or college. The pressures of life may not leave enough time for them to make good relationships. But :

"It is not good for a person to be alone."

Do you agree with the above statement? Do you think that we were created to be social humans? What do you think of the unsociable people?

Is it only the quiet, shy, people suffer from loneliness? How about the out going kid of people?

Any suggestions to overcome loneliness?

Make friends and whenever you feel lonely, hang out with them. Otherwise, find something to do everytime you feel lonely ... like, watch tv, listen to music, read books or just casually call your 'missed' ones and that could cheer you up. Once you've made loads of friends, I doubt you'll ever feel lonely again .. :)

You come into the world alone you go out alone in between it's nice to know a few people but being alone is a fundamental quality of human life depressing as that is..

Sometimes you can chose to be lonley someother time no: i remember that when i had no choice i felt sad and depressed wishing not to be while when time came to chose, i chose to be alone.
Loneliness is not only phisical but also, or maybe mainly spiritual: probably i got so used to it that i learned to live with it, a sort of protection sometimes, a cage some other times.
Maybe one day i'll change idea, who knows...

Amo, being social is something that is needed, because its a part of life, you can't stay a hermit forever.

Dunno, i'll see

That was so deep & very true in the same time :yes:

I think we all need to socialize in one way or another. You will eventually have to socialize no matter how unsociable you are. At home, with family, outside, work, shops, life, everywhere basically. So yes we need to be sociable but to comment on something Allah didn't just create us to be social! Many things including the basic human needs.

The unsociable person to me is the one who is locking himself/herself up for many years eating nothing till they die. I believe that people differ in their social interest. There are people who are way to social, some are so so and some are less. No personal opinion on them, respecting all the different kinds.

Is it only the quiet, shy, people suffer from loneliness? How about the out going kid of people?

I don’t agree. There are tons of outgoing people who suffer loneliness from their own creation, they might be VERY
sociable but lonely, so sociable or not can't correlate with lonliness!

yes i agree with Najah.. the loudest person u know could secretly be feeling lonely on the inside.. and i think that a bestfriend.. partner or wutever is what each person needs.. where u can talk to them about anything.. once u find tht person u r no longer alone.. plus u always have ur family..
on the other hand being alone doesnt necassarily have to be bad.. depending on the person i think 1 might b able to get more jobs done if they were alone.. (no distractions)..

suggestions to overcome loneliness.. PIG OUT!! :)

Being "alone" doesnt always mean the person is "lonely"...

Looooool

I used to say that to all my exs at the end of an relationship to justify a breakup!!!

aka:

"You come into this world alone and you leave it alone - everything else in between is just make believe"

Maybe that explains why I'm soo ammoral.

It's hard - but what i've learnt of life up till now for sure - if you don't want to turn out to be a nobody - you've got to turn into a loner.

The more "social and less lonely" life is now the more you are going to suffer in the future.

But maybe that's just me.

:lost:

and i think that a bestfriend.. partner or wutever is what each person needs.. where u can talk to them about anything.. once u find tht person u r no longer alone..

Yeah, until they leave you and you're more alone than ever before :(

i stay alone, and i dont have any friends (beside me at the moment), and i feel GREAT!

u dont need ppl to overcome the so called "loneliness"!

Thanks all for your replies.

HITMAN: would you care to elaborate? Why don’t you have friends? I mean don’t you find it difficult sometimes not to have a friend to share your joy & pain with?

loneliness is never a good feeling - but being alone (something quite different!) can be quite good for you sometimes, maybe not over an extended period of time though.
when im always surrounded by people, i tend to lose a sense of myself, sort of think of myself as just part of something that makes a whole. but when im alone i remember that im whole on my own, and dont need to be surrounded by a group of people to be considered a complete person - i know im talking about myself like a jigsaw puzzle, but i think people understand what im trying to say, right?
theres only one cure for loneliness: talk to somebody! go out, meet a friend, or try to meet new people and talk about things, it's refreshing, kind of like a sugar rush :P

i have friends, but they r far at the moment! i dont like making new friends, i have 2!

i dont find it difficult to be honest, i do have a lady friend with whom i discuss my thoughts, happy or sad!

:D Yeah, I totally understand all of that, and I can relate. Sometimes, being alone is extremely beneficial. Having time to think, to reason things. Hey, we're all jigsaw puzzles! You think any of us know whats going on inside our craniums at any given time? Too many braincells, too little to time to figure it out :os. Having time alone, just sitting down, and thinking, really really useful I find.

:gap:

true dat true dat!

hitman u just admitted that u have friends!so tht means u DO have sum1 tht u can talk to abt anything and everything..!

well glad that im not the only person in the world who thinks that way... :D

I think people should balance their time. It's not good to be around people all the time as it isn't good to be alone all the time. There are times when you need to be surrounded by people, because you learn a lot from others, and it helps with your communication skills.
However you also need to spend time alone, to discover yourself and think a little.

"Living crowded staying alone"

Thats also happens. Life is strange .
