is it a good thing i have become immune to loneliness.

[nathanjizzle]

is this a goodthing? i am pretty happy with my life being alone. but i think its because ive just gotten use to be alone. is this a good or bad thing?

1) You're lying to yourself. Humans are communal beings. The probability of developing a mental disorder skyrockets when you go through life alone.

2) Get off the ****ing internet. Go outside. Get a hobby and then find a group that involves said hobby. If you find yourself not really liking ANYTHING, chances are strong you're suffering from depression or electronic/internet addiction.

3) Stop being super opinionated with politics when it's clear you're young as **** and don't know a mother ****ing damn thing about life.

i have to agree with the poster above me, and i don't particularly enjoy being social outside of my friends. shut your pc off and go outside, go to a park and play pick-up basketball, join a soccer league, get a hobby that you can enjoy with people. it doesn't matter what you tell yourself, being lonely is not good for your mental health and puts you at risk for many things.

All hardcore Trump/Hillary supportes have some kind of mental illness.

Went through an entire year alone, but I bounced around very little from a female to female small enough to not count. I isolated myself within that year and accomplished far more. I find myself being better alone.

However, in general, too much isolation doesn't result in good conclusions for everyone.

i feel like a lot of responders here are projecting their own situations and lecturing accordingly, so i'll give you a slightly different take:

being content with loneliness is a fantastically useful skill to have in life. for one thing, we're going to be alone for large parts of our lives, anyway... even when surrounded by people... even when they're friends and family. that's just the way life is. so that's why finding peacefulness / contentedness is such an invaluable skill.

having said that, i agree with the phrase above "humans are communal beings," which is why it's so important to learn how to enjoy friendship, relationships and being in other peoples' presence.

there's also the fact that you might be talking specifically about being in a relationship, making most of our replies somewhat off.

Nathan it takes a special person not to feel lonely, and iso'd

The most important thing is to be busy , but not busy that it consumes you , and you become that business.

We are like other posters have stated - a herding animal meaning companionship and socializing is healthy for our brains...
But extra times allows for other insightful ideas , like learning about your self, wants and needs and direction , that sometimes in our busy world , people are trapped in the fast paced world.

Most people don't take a breath and smell the roses around them.:D

You're deluding yourself man.

Having wife, children, friend, siblings is valuable beyond words.

Its great if youre trying to accomplish something

Did the same thing my freshman year of college because I wanted to focus on my grades and basketball. Ended up getting great grades, but my only friends were my teammates

I'm a loner by nature even though I can function normally in just about any social setting. If you're not that type of person, it takes a toll on you. Even if you are, it'll take the wind out of your sails if you allow it to. Staying home to recharge isn't the same as avoiding others. Be self-reliant but know that you can't live by yourself, that's called being a hermit(which is bad).

Hey fatass, guess what? I'd estimate it's hovering around a 90% chance that you're addicted to the interent also. It's not simply projecting. Look the **** around. Unfortunately almost everyone has a problem with electronic and specifically Internet addiction... the things that vary are the severity of each case and wether or not the individual is aware.

I know that I've got a problem with it. Society as a whole has yet to recognize it as an addictive substance and they aren't in a place where most can even ****ing comprehend what they're doing to themselves. When's the last time you went a week or even a ****ing day without browsing the Web?

It keeps people inside their own heads and their own little world and is yet another contributing factor to the degradation of society.

Cell phones are mostly great. The Internet is great. The fact that the Internet follows you around in your pocket 24/7 is a big ****ing problem.

People are so absorbed in their own little bubble of trying to justify their own self-worth with selfies, vines, and whatever garbage is out these days. They don't use it for the right reasons and then complain over the internet like a bunch of mindless sheep. Worse, they put you down for not understanding their own little subculture of instant gratification and adhd.

It's good to be secure in yourself that you are OK with being alone :cheers:

But don't kid yourself, a wife or companion is important to our well-being as we age
