I think the root of all loneliness is a desperate want of recognition — of our feelings that we hide on a daily basis, the thoughts that circle our heads but we choose not to voice, the cravings of connection we seek in our parents, partners or friends or at work. We want to be seen and our feelings validated. We don’t want solutions, promises that there’s some bright future when we’re drowning in our darkness, unable to see that “light” at the end to the tunnel. Or maybe we don’t want to. We don’t want to see that light because we’re afraid of the choices we have to take to get there. Maybe we want someone to rescue, hug us because we crave being ground in some way because our loneliness makes us drift and sway from everything. But in the end, was it all just in my mind? Was it all just me being the guard standing on that door to a better life? Are we ever truly “happy”? Maybe that dream is too idealistic. Maybe I need to change the way I think about all this. I don’t know guys, I’ve been feeling some waves of change roll across me and I’m looking at my depressed feelings more and more objectively. Like I’m done being sad and lonely all the time.

This is growth, what you are saying is true, it shows you have courage to go beyond this. The crowd is blind, it won't take you anywhere but towards more misery. What you need to walk on this path are, footprints. Human life or mind is not new, it carries the experiences of thousands of years. Also we all have the same mind. True happiness was found by Buddha, Jesus, Lao Tzu and many more. There are many ways, you have to chose. Whatever happens choose happiness and it will bring more of it.

ReplyI have no idea as to what it is to be lonely. I like being alone.
ReplyThat's a quality. You can be great at meditation.
ReplyThis explanation you've made was truly amazing and something that made so much sense. And I'm the same thing, I hate feeling sad and lonely, I need a girl, someone who understands me for me, who will keep me happy and occupied and to never have me dwell in my life because of that individual who keeps or has me feeling happy, but I never found that person yet.
