I Feel Alone

Yeah But

By: FreeFallWall
Written on April 25th, 2012
Feeling alone is not the same as feeling lonely I think.

If I'm feeling alone, it means I have no one to depend upon.
It means I am free to do whatever I want without being accountable to anyone.
It means I will take decisions for myself.

Of course it would also imply I'm lonely. But that is not the case. For better or worse.

    By the same token, a person can be lonely whilst mingling in a crowded room ! It is definitely a state of mind rather than a location. I enjoy my *alone* time as well as my time with company. Mostly I enjoy making that decision for myself rather than feeling any sense of obligation

    I guess alone is just not having someone around, whereas lonliness is being lonely involuntarily.
