Are you lonely?

[RCMerchant]

I been lonely before. For years.

It's a horrible thing.

[ER]

I've been lucky enough to never experience loneliness in my life but there have been a few times in the past when I was away from home and family for extended periods, sometimes scared, too, and I would miss my loved ones so much it hurt. I would imagine being with them and all the things I wanted to say to them, how much I loved them, how I missed them and how I'd never again take them for granted. Then usually when I got home and life slid back to normal I'd find the desire to say all that to the people I loved would fall away, and I'd never quite say it. Shame on me.

Not quite loneliness but something.

Here Lies Eleanor Rigby, right?

"I want to be alone.  I just want to be alone."  It's corny, but it's true.  It's how we all feel sometimes.  I like to be alone.  Then, when I'm alone, I get lonely. 

[LilCerberus]

A man walks down the street
He says why am I soft in the middle now
Why am I soft in the middle
The rest of my life is so hard

I need a photo-opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don't want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard

Bonedigger Bonedigger
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away my well-lit door
Mr. Beerbelly Beerbelly
Get these mutts away from me
You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore

[LilCerberus]

A man walks down the street
He says why am I short of attention
Got a short little span of attention
And wo my nights are so long
Where's my wife and family
What if I die here

[Leah]

Yes.

[Skittler]

I was born lonely.

[Alex]

No, but I have been in past years. I really wanted someone in my life at that time. Then I met someone and within 2 months I really wished I had never bothered. It would be 5 years before I would decide to get involved with anyone else again after that.

[Trevor]

Almost always.

Recently, I realized I don't have many friends that I see in person anymore. People I used to see several times every week (almost every day in some cases) are only avatars on Facebook now. We never get together anymore. And many of them live close by. I'm as close to all you badmovies.org folks as I am to my local fiends. And I've never met any of you. I read a book in the late 1980s/early 90s that said the Internet would cause people to have friends across the world via chat rooms and forums. I thought it was crazy talk. But it happened.

Not really.  I live in a house with four other people - my wife, my two adult daughters, and my 90 year old mother in law.
I teach school, so I am surrounded by kids every day at work.
I have a best friend that I email with, extensively, just about every day of my life.
Even when I go arrowhead hunting on the river or lake, I prefer to go with someone.
Lonely?  NO.
There are times I do wish for a little more privacy, though.

Sometimes

[316zombie]

not often. it's why i always carry a book wherever i go, generally one i've read many times before. there's always a friend in those pages.
   i think the loneliest day of my life was when my beloved MIL died. curtis was with her in florida, and my house was filled with people who love me, but all i wanted was billie. and she was gone.
