For The Lonely: Observations on Loneliness

Do we seek credit during loneliness?

Despite loneliness, perhaps there's a silver lining.Music: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Stenifer/SteniferStenifer – Le temps passe et ca va - Music used under C0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0): Public Domain Dedication

Sometimes, loneliness makes us feel like we're on a spaceship in outer space--pondering what happened?

It’s hard to say where true inspiration comes from. In comedy, inspiration comes from laughing at unfortunate and uncomfortable circumstances in life. But in today’s society, inspiration thrives behind the guise of success. Follow this step and you too will have success. Having a “rags to riches” tale will never come for many. Success is subjective but in pop culture, affluence and social influence are the determining factors. In real life, inspiration comes from empathy. Empathy is feeling a deep connection that someone else feels and understands the pain and struggle you feel. In loneliness, a person who empathizes with the self-hatred, resentment and perseverance makes more of a difference than any dollar or social status. Inspiration is about a helping hand, stretched out to those who are deep in a valley. The result could be a smile for the first time in 10 years or having a relationship that brings peace and tranquility for the first time in life. Inspiration towards material fulfillment rarely brings happiness in lonelinessMusic: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Stenifer/SteniferMusic used under C0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0): Public Domain Dedication

Is it possible to feel this alone and hopeless? Is it possible to be this out of touch with society? Are our sins and wrongdoing that bad that a life of loneliness is our infinite punishment?Feeling an unbearable sadness is normal when we feel our need for connection and love is not being met. Not one person on this earth denounces the opportunity for some kind of connection. In desperate states of loneliness, we put all the blame on ourself.But what if we used this time to reevaluate our intentions? To reevaluate our needs? To reevaluate the relationships we felt we destroyed? Could this period be a time for our maturity and growth as kind and loving individual? Could we forgive ourselves and forgave others and move towards a period of exploring our potential to others?

I’m iffy on the comparison of solitude vs loneliness. Yes, we understand that it is in our nature to feel connected. I understand the idea that some people are content, even if they spend most of their time alone. Others feel alone, even amid a crowd. Spare me that loneliness is a mindset angle or the inclination that our dependence on communication on the internet leads to physical-social isolation. We know all of this already.I’m just not sure what aloneness or loneliness even is. Are there any recollections of their experience in aloneness or loneliness? A retrospective is fine but a firsthand portrayal of their struggle or contentment would be better. Loneliness is so mystifying that expressing it seems hard for people to do. If someone is content in aloneness, there is an air of uncertainty and misconstrued notions. If someone is hurting in loneliness, there is a lack of sympathy and an even a certain level of persecution.I’m still very much confused about the concept of aloneness vs loneliness.Music used with permission from Epidemic Sound and/Jamendo through Multi-Network Partnership/Subscription with Spreaker.
