The Loner: Loneliness vs. being alone.

Loneliness is something that everyone probably experiences at some point. Some people need more social interaction than others and hate to be alone. Are loneliness and being alone are two different feelings all together? Well I know that I can be in a room with ten people and I still feel lonely. So what makes us feel lonely? I have experienced that being lonely comes from someone not identifying with my way of thinking. When I am by myself I am rarely lonely, although I love to spend time with my friends and family. Want to know the difference between loneliness and being alone, ask a Loner. A loose definition of loners by most people are individuals who do activities by them self and are hard to station in one spot. I gather from my observations and personal experiences that the Loner’s mindset is to explore their environment until they find like minds and activities. Loners also usually have an internal dialogue that they wish to not divulge to other individuals because of the polarizing nature of the subject matter in which they keep to them self. Loners can be very charismatic when they arrive on scene making everyone in the presence feel good for the moment, other types of loners sit or stand in a corner keeping to them self with an occasional phrase acknowledging their presence. Whichever type of loner you are or meet it’s ok to be who you are. For individuals who are loners you can share with others how you feel, but most people shy away from very heavy emotions when they first meet you. It would be wise to divulge your feelings and thoughts in small doses. For people that know loners, try to cater your conversation to the individual likes and dislikes even though you may not agree with anything they say. You may find a very insightful person with a well of information from all the places and activities they have engaged in during their knowledge seeking escapades.
