"You can not be lonely if you like the person you are alone with" Wayne Dayer. Friends, the real deal is in loving and being at peace with who you are. Once this is achieved, you get to realise you are not under obligation to live up to their demands and expectations of the society, Hence you must not necessarily depend on others or their opinion to feel fulfilled. Now one may ask, Man is a social animal. Would i not have to depend on others at some point in life? The answer is Yes and No. Yes, interdependence is inevitable as humans since no Man is an island. The problem arises when you feel incomplete without people or their validation. Validation must come from satisfaction in one's self and not from external sources.
Another interesting observation I have realised is that, most people can not sit a minute without picking up their phones or updating themselves on trend of social media. A clear indication that we have not mastered the skill one's own company. I must point out that there's a clear distinction between "being alone" and "loneliness". One can be alone and not necessarily feel lonely. The reverse is true. One can be in the midst of a crowd and yet feel lonely and depressed.
The solution? You must be healed on the inside to escape the claws of loneliness which leads to depression. It's not surprising that many people would rather return to a toxic partner than to face the fear of being lonely. Mitigating through the vicissitudes of life requires strength from God and resilience.
In summary, it's okay to be alone sometimes in life, but if you feel lonely, here is a piece of advice: First of all talk to God about it, then seek help from a trustworthy source.
Also, get yourself busy. It is always advisable to identify an activity you find enjoyable doing; may be swimming, painting, a sport activity or even listening to good music. It helps!
