I haven't been alone physically, but mentally

We leave this world the same way we came in. Bald no teeth wearing a diaper.
I am a only child and have been alone my whole life. There is a big difference between being alone and being lonely. As long as there is somebody somewhere that loves you and you love them, you are not alone, just lonely.

You are not the only one. I have been alone since 2002.

I live alone, I eat alone, I drink alone, I sleep alone. Been that way for a really long time. So we can be together in our aloneness.

No we are not alone. Sometimes the walls close in, then found myself in a support group and realized I wasn’t alone. Battling a chronic illness amplifies the feeling. But like riding a bike or swimming, I get used to it, in my case I cannot find comfort in it. But not running from it, finding a place to openly comment on it is beyond refreshing for me.

We're all alone. We come in that way, we go out that way.
There's a huge difference between being alone, and being lonely.
Both are choices.

I've been alone for 6 years- 3 years of it fighting for my life.

I can't imagine it . Not for me. people are key to my existence. you are stronger than I

Nope! I've been single for a very long time. I enjoy my freedom and the privacy it brings. The person that I let in will have to be amazing for me to change that for any length of time

I haven't had a romantic relationship for a very long time. But, I've got my grown sons so, I'm definitely not alone in the strict sense of the word.

You'll find plenty of interaction with others here if you choose! We love to chat in these message boards here!

Welcome Lisav1961.

I was married to someone for 10 years and he was here 24/7 because he was on disability. He's been gone since January 30th of 2014 and I am so happy to be living by myself. I may be alone but I am not lonely. There are billions of people in the world go out and talk to one. Hell write me I'll write you back.

I have not been in a relationship for years. I live alone by choice, had a roommate and after that person moved out did not replace. There are far worse things than being alone.

Alone is not bad at all... Lonely is hurtful to some and painful to others. But Welcome, welcome to our little place.... you don't have to be alone or lonely anymore!!!!

I was alone for at least twenty years while I was in the navy. It’s not that unusual.
