Aloneness Vs Loneliness


I have seen a lot of people suffering from this “Loneliness” . There are so many who just wanna be Mr/Miss Lonely. They miss out on life’s wonders as they wait for company.

“Lonely I’m Mr. Lonely,

I have nobody,

For my own

I’m so lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely

I have nobody,

For my own

I’m so lonely”

For such people I want to ask a few simple questions. Dial back your life to when you were a kid, there were no phones, no social media, people mostly communicated with letters. So did they all feel lonely all the time?? No, they did their work, interacted with the people around them & just lived their life.

In today’s time, we have become very choosy. Social media makes our life seem worse then what it actually is. We see images of people hanging out together, posting fun activities, what we don’t realise is it’s just those moments that portray all the fun. How do you know whether or not a person is actually having fun. They might be in company of others & yet feel lonely or left out.

Loneliness is just a state of mind & only you can help yourself. Find out things you like to do & start doing them. Don’t wait for anyone to do it with you. Soon, who knows you might find other like minded people & you might get good company.

One should just live life the way they want. We do not need anyone’s company or approval to enjoy our life.

While you are whining about being so lonely, have you ever tried doing things just by yourself. Read a good book / blog / article. Goto a movie or party by yourself. Take a hobby class. You are your best company. Our elders did this only. They did their work & got on with life.

Do not miss out on the little adventures of life while you wait for company.

Remember, you are the best & only company you will ever need ☺

“Aloneness is the joy of being just yourself. It is being joyous with yourself, it is enjoying your own company. There are very few people who enjoy their own company. And it is a very strange world; nobody enjoys their own company and everybody wants others to enjoy their company! If they don’t enjoy they feel insulted — and alone they feel disgusted with themselves. In fact, if YOU cannot enjoy your own company, who else is going to enjoy it?”
