Is loneliness the essential human condition?

we all NEED to be alone. sometimes isolation helps put things in perceptive and solve problems. when ur alone ur forced to listen to your thoughts which are the best guides to ur life. dont be afraid of being alone sometimes it can fix alll ur problems

NO.

You can escape the solitude of life. You were just doing it with your ex girlfriend. If everyone you know is empty and vacant inside, you need to either look for new friends, or act more repentant at your next parole board hearing.

Look, I have personal knowledge that there is no greater gift in life than a perfect divorce, but still, you need to connect or you become a sociopath. Of course, you could then give someone else the ultimate gift by divorcing them, but it's better to avoid all that in the first place by being human.

Not at all. I do know how it feels to be this lonely, but trust me, no matter how alone you think you are, there is somebody somewhere willing to love you and connect with you. Though you do sound a bit depressed, so maybe therapy is a good idea for you. Just a thought.

Oh yeah, and to the people who say you are born alone... that's an odd thing to say, since you are born in physical contact with your mother, still physically connected to her by the umbilical chord, after having lived inside her for nine months. And you are usually brought out by the hands of doctors and midwives, who make sure you're healthy, cover you in warm blankets, and feed you. How is that being alone?

Dude I've been single for 8yrs now because no girl is right for me & I've always end up with the bad ones. I do not date girls who are hot or pretty & I only date girls who cares about me. I learn allot to be alone & you body is bothering. Yes is nice to take a girl out in the movies,dinner,home,cook or meet the family but, not every relationship is perfect & you just have to find the right women.

Good question my friend.Ive been single for 3 years ive been alone all that time and being alone is probably the best thing thats ever happened to me because its gave me allot of time to reflect and to learn things,important things.Ive changed allot being alone,i went from being a depressed wreck into a wise man :)

Ive learned so much in that time that i can handle most things life throws at me instead of going in there blindfolded.

I personally don't think human are conditioned to be solitary creatures, but the two most important things we ever face in life,being born and dying, we have to do alone, so it could be debated....

look,we born alone,but from that moment we are surrounded by people that love us and some of them just don`t.the fact that u just broke up with your girl doesn`t mean that u have no one behind your back.look around u and u will see how ,,not lonely,, u are...!!

Go into introspect and retrospect.
