What did you feel as you listened to these words? And also what you feel when it comes to loneliness as well. And how you handle that in your life. So that's all for now, and I hope you have a wonderful day wherever you are

Beautiful, beautiful. Thank you, candy, for sharing. Thank you for writing. And thank you for inviting me. I feel like my loneliness has been seen and heard. Self regulation really is an amazing thing. I think for me, it's the allow allowing myself to process my loneliness. Right. Like, there's going to be times where I feel lonely and how am I processing that? What am I doing in those moments? Thank you so much

They left home and I enjoyed being alone and have a time for myself and do whatever I want to do, go to bed or get up anytime I want to because I work mostly from home. Candy. I like to read, learning piano, listening to music and cooking and do things that I like. Then that loneliness became overwhelming. It's no longer something that I would like to have a 24/7 anymore
Hi candy. As usual, your poem was excellent with multiple of emotions, myriad of emotions being exhibited. So when you started talking about loneliness in the form of your swell, I was struck with lots of thoughts in my mind. Sometimes I feel loneliness is something which teaches you how to love your company, how to enjoy your company, me, how to understand and analyze yourself. Because most of the time, as we are with others, we are always indulged with others

Hello. I somehow like to be alone. And I'm very happy if I'm aloof and, you know, left to my own devices and left alone to either read a book or write one, or even if I'm sitting alone in nature, I don't think it really brings me loneliness, because being alone and being lonely are two different things. So, thankfully, Touchwood and I've been fortunate enough not to experience loneliness. But, yes, being alone is something I do prefer

Hi Gandhi. That's such a beautiful way of expressing your bouts of loneliness. And you know, loneliness is such a subtle emotion. It's such an incredible. Rather I should say it's a very powerful emotion actually. You are never lonely. You are never left alone by yourself. In any given moment there's always someone listening to your thoughts. That's your inner world that your inner conscience, that's the universe who's all the time listening to what you are trying to convey
Though I'm not trying to say that you've not portrayed it well. You've portrayed it well. But to me, loneliness is finding oneself. Loneliness is talking to the Almighty. Loneliness is unleashing the power of subconscious mind. Loneliness is contemplating, introspecting, seeing within. And it can't happen till the time you are lonely
Hi candy. This poem was amazing and I think each one of us struggles with loneliness. And what are amazing is that at times when we have people around you still you can feel lonely, still you can feel upset. But if you have company with yourself, if you start falling in love with yourself, you do journaling, you do writing. You see the seek God, seek his support. You will feel good. So that's what I'll feel
So I need to take large amounts of time to recharge. But it doesn't change the fact that, of course, I do feel loneliness. Right. And it can be difficult for me to be honest with myself and to process through these feelings without having shame or guilt and to regulate myself
There's something powerful in that. And I think that's why, of course, we all experience this loneliness. So thanks, Maurice. You gave a very candid, candid expression. Without denying it, I guess you gave it in such a candid manner for someone to come out and say like, yes, I experienced this loneliness, us. And I don't want this to continue. I think that's powerful
Hello, Ranjana, and thank you so much for sharing your perspective on loneliness. And as I was listening to you, I thought, oh, wow, this is somebody who's well seasoned in life when it comes to spending time with themselves. And I think that's quite a powerful thing. That's quite a strength, so that you have been able to navigate it very well

Hello, and thank you so much for your response. And I think you've given a very different perspective to loneliness. You know, in terms of that it is only when we are alone with ourselves, as you mentioned, that we communicate with the divine. And in a lot of ways, we are manifesting what is in our subconscious. We become more aligned with oneself. And I think that is quite powerful, especially when we detach from the. Sometimes I have to agree, right?
These were just the poetic lines that I just put out there. What would loneliness feel like if I had to write it in a poetic form of a fee? And it's amazing, the different perspective I've gotten in this. Well, alone. The threads of how different people are sharing what it feels like for them. And some people are very self regulated. Some people are, like, they see loneliness as not necessarily a thing they experience
It's not necessarily a good or a bad thing, it's just what it is, right? We all navigate it differently and we come to terms with it in our own way. I think I was just talking to different people in this swell thread like conversing with them and then being like how it's all about balance, it's about how you approach it and what you get out of it. So thanks Gauri once again for your response
Hello Kadambari, and thank you so much for your response to this post. And as you said, it's so possible to feel alone when you're in a crowd of people. I've experienced this myself so many times. Like I'd be in a crowded, like surrounded by so many people. Whether I know them, I don't know them, and I felt isolated, you know, and not connected. So I relate to this

So, yes, you have to maintain a balance, and I'm sure you're doing it in your own way. So thank you so much. Thank you so much for your kind words and have a lovely week. Bye
