Loneliness

Definition:


Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than just the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected from, and alienated towards, other people. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any form of meaningful human contact. Lonely people often experience a subjective sense of inner emptiness or hollowness, with feelings of separation or isolation from the world.

Being lonely is the thing which I mostly feared of. It is because I do not want to be alone, and I do not want to feel being rejected. I want to have friends. I want to have someone to talk to, and someone who can assure me that i am safe. Being alone is the scariest thing that I could imagine. Maybe if I am alone in this world, I could not survive. It is better for me to kill myself rather than being alone and lonely. Being alone is like you are secluding yourself to other people that you are like an outcast. And I do not want that to happen on me. I am very dependent to my family, and friends. Being lonely could make you feel stressed and depressed. But we also need to be alone so that we could meditate ourselves and we could think in our decisions in life. But what is the use of a friend if we always found ourselves sitting in one corner alone? It is also needed to approach somebody and tell him or her what you feel so that it could light up your feelings.
