Very true! Being alone is heavenly. Being lonely sucks, and you can do it both alone, or while incessantly surrounded by people that you wish would just leave you alone.
"I used to think the worst thing in life is to end up all alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone." - Robin Williams
Yeah, you're right. After looking into it I think that the best way to write it would have been:
"I used to think the worst thing in life is to end up all alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone." - Robin Williams as Lance Clayton, World's Greatest Dad
I don't think it's really necessary to say that it was Bobcat who wrote it, but it wouldn't hurt to add it afterwards.
True. I'm in this situation right now, with friends inviting me sometimes but mostly leaves me out of their plans. Sometimes I think that I would be better off without them, so I could avoid the feeling of being excluded.
I think thats what thoooper was saying with "people you wish would leave you alone". its a very good way of putting it... you're lonely so you wont leave what little social circle you have but deep down you wish theyd just leave you instead.
I understand, and I did feel that way; moreover, when I was surrounded with these people, I yearned to be better friends with them, but they were such good friends with each other already that I could never hope to get into the circle.
It's a great show. The story is pretty straight forward with a few good twists, but the action is fantastic and the humor is awesome. I highly recommend it (but follow a filler guide because the fillers are terrible and you want to skip them)
I just started my first post college job and just learned this distinction. In all my 22 years, I have never felt home sick or lonely. Back in my apartment, while I was rooming with friend said, I still appreciated vast amounts of alone time.
Now I live by myself in a new city with no friends around, my parents just moved across the country, and my best friend is moving across the country for grad school.
Also, me as an example, I used to always be out doing stuff with friends. Something was always happening. I used to pray for a couple days to my self to just me alone.Friendships ended, others moved away and we all grew up. Recently I've alone a lot now wish I had friends that I can do something with.
Well lonely is something you feel I'm introverted so it can be irritating when others supposedly get lonely and seem to think they are entitled to my presence.
"There's a thing about being alone and there's a thing about being lonely, and they're two different things. I was alone but I was not lonely. My background was as a fighter pilot in the air force, then as a test pilot–and that was mostly in fighter airplanes–so I was very used to being by myself. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't have to talk to Dave and Jim any more ... On the backside of the Moon, I didn't even have to talk to Houston and that was the best part of the flight."
That was really apt. I wish I could do some of these things, I live in a rural no where town so there's no benches, few restaurants and the closest place to go dancing is over an hour away!
