A topic from Mind, Spirit & Beliefs: Philosophy

I can empathise with how it must feel to be lonely or feel alone but I have never felt alone or lonely in my life - ever.

Most of my life I have been single and lived alone, I'm presently single and living alone and have done for two years + and not been in a relationship for about 3 years or so.

And - still I'm not lonely, ever.

I can go for weeks without having any contact with people, I choose not to go out to social situations and have always limited my exposure to other people and only had 1 or 2 friends at a time over the years and presently am in the same situation by choice.

Still - I am never lonely.

I see postings on OUT forums by people who are lonely and I do feel for them. I can (and do) offer support, advice, suggestions and a listening ear but I can't feel lonely myself, only imagine what it may be like and put myself in the mindset as best I can and position of the person who is experiencing loneliness.

Does anyone else feel or experience the lack of loneliness in their life - are you happy, content or resolved with and accepting of your attitude to solitude or do you see it as a missing emotion? Do you feel apart from others who maybe do experience loneliness?

As an aside - although linked to the subject of this posting - someone I know experiences terrible emotions of jealousy in many situations and this is another emotion I can't experience as such. I'm never jealous of anything or anybody - for whatever reason but I can all too easily see how the person I know with the jealousy problem has an awful time with it.

My thoughts and potential advice on the subject of jealousy would perhaps be Just don't be jealous! :-) not very empathic I know but possibly the best I can do given that the emotion of jealousy is something I feel I have never experienced, dwelled on or gave much attention to.

So - what do you think about our differing reactions to emotions? Do you feel jealousy? Is it as bitter and hurtful as people would suggest or are you somehow immune to it?

And the original topic about loneliness - can you feel lonely, do you feel lonely, do you get OUT to mix with people to combat or lessen the loneliness? Have you been though phases of feeling alone and times when you enjoyed the quietness and solitude?

Loads of questions and examples I know in this posting, my main reason for posting this one is to compare notes with other people, to share similarities, discuss diversities, acknowledge that we are all different and that there often may be situations when there is no wrong or right , just the IT-ISness which each of us experience - or not!
