"Yes, I do get lonely"

Loneliness has been declared by some as a disease, but maybe it's just us being unable to stay in ourselves for a while without treating us like we don't deserve anything good. It's hard to be alone because your mind fills itself with dreadful thoughts of what you should be and what it could've been. Sometimes you don't even know what to do with yourself and try your best to avoid everything that you feel when you are on your own and without any distractions.

Why is it so hard to be alone? Well, we're social beings but right now we seem to be unable to spend time by ourselves. We always end up with people or doing things to numb our minds, and that's okay. However, there are times that we can't escape ourselves and we stand in front if our fears, our shadows and ghosts from our past that still haunt us. We fall into a dark place that we fear the most. Curiously enough, that place is inside ourselves. We know it, we've been there so, why so scared? When we're there, we are not lost, we're just inside a part of us that we try our best to ignore during the day.

Being really alone is something that we'll experience so many times and we have to be prepared. It's the best moment to really get to know yourself, even if it's hard. It's the best opportunity to deal with everything that's holding you back. Right now I'm at that place. Yes, I have friends and I talk to them daily, I go out and work, but I spend the day by myself, talking to myself in my mind, so I've become my best friend without realizing it.

Yes, I do get lonely sometimes. I miss a few people that are not part of my life anymore and there are times that being alone can be hard because our thoughts can take the best of us. I realized that there should be a balance between spending time with others and being alone. Some say that you should have a healthy relationship with yourself before jumping into relationships with others, but we don't usually do it in that order. I think we learn a lot through others and we get to know ourselves in the way we interact with them and they respond to what we say or do.

What do you guys think about this? Do you like to be alone on your own or you prefer to be surrounded by people? How do you handle your loneliness?

Hello luna, I liked this post a lot. For me I have a preference for being alone more than with other people and usually spend my time thinking on what I can do on that day or the next, even just see to the horizon sometimes, feels good.

Me too!

Hi Luna 💖💖💖

I agree we should find a balance in spending time with others and having time alone to be with ourselves.

I lean more heavily towards injoying my alone time. For me being around others can be a very draining experience.

It is a pleasure to meet you here and I look forward to being part of your journey.

Wishing you the best and sending much Reiki Love your way!

Namaste

💖🙏💖
