I cant bare my loneliness

Apparently there was a new craze going around Germany during the nineteenth century called "super individualism". There were lots of interesting ideas circulating back then.

Here's a parable from one of them:

"On a cold winter'�s day, a group of porcupines huddled together to stay warm and keep from freezing. But soon they felt one another'��s quills and moved apart. When the need for warmth brought them closer together again, their quills again forced them apart. They were driven back and forth at the mercy of their discomforts until they found the distance from one another that provided both a maximum of warmth and a minimum of pain. In human beings, the emptiness and monotony of the isolated self produces a need for society. This brings people together, but their many offensive qualities and intolerable faults drive them apart again. The optimum distance that they finally find that permits them to coexist is embodied in politeness and good manners. Because of this distance between us, we can only partially satisfy our need for warmth, but at the same time, we are spared the stab of one another'��s quills." -Arthur Schopenhauer

that's a cool quote red

I find that it is much easier (for me) to be alone,, dealing with other people and their moods, stresses, troubles, expectations, judgments,,,, is draining,,,

I know the way yer feeling.I been alone a long time myself.......

Being alone can be challenging atimes but Being alone sometimes can be gud rather than with people who can make one feel miserable

msharmony has that right, at least on the expectations and stresses..We all have our moods, so we deal with it. Tomorrow is a better day.........

The only time being alone becomes barking mad is when you have a primal urge to say,,,,,

" hold my beer and watch this ".

it'll drive you loopy it will.

Yeah. it's quite sweet :)

Misery loves company, and is looking for it.

ay one time was scared to be alone and after dealing with issues i say you have to be comfortable being alone first and than willing to compromise with your partner when you find one , just sayin
