Are You Lonely or Alone?

Webster's New World Dictionary lists lonely as being unhappy at being alone. That sums it up completely. Do you know anyone who always has to be doing something or going somewhere? They appear to be energetic and self motivated. They are more likely than not motivated by not wanting to go home to be alone. Lonely. Most people who do not like being alone have unresolved, or not confronted, issues with themselves. I believe it is very close to not liking themselves.

Are you lonely or alone? Do you make sure you have 'me' time? I absolutely love alone time with me. I like me. Some of these unresolved issues can come from childhood memories or un-forgiveness. Others may come from a heart break which is also un-forgiveness. If you fit any of those profiles for your own sake, learn to forgive. You can learn to love yourself and enjoy your alone time.

Things you can do when alone so you are not lonely:

1. Go to a good comedy show and laugh it up. You'll be laughing and not thinking about being alone.

2. Go out to eat even if you go through the fast food line and eat in the car, eat outside of your home.

3. Read a book of something that interests you.

4. Write to some friends via mail or email.

5. Playing online games always makes the time go by.
