 First of all this isn't some try to joke with someone, more of a wish to know more about people that are connected with me in things that we love, such as anime, games, music, etc... Even if we are, I guess, hardwired to be social beings, do you ever consider being alone, or simply interacting as less as possible, as something, well, nice? Have you ever found yourself thinking, even if you sometimes desire to be closer to other, people, there are more to solitude after all? Enjoy in thread. |
| I prefer keeping to myself more, but I don't mind going out if I'm invited by my friends, or going on discord to talk to them/play games etc. I myself wouldn't initiate anything though. I don't care about spending my time alone, I never really feel all that lonely. |
| I think there’s a difference between being alone and lonely; being lonely is an upsetting emotional state, but being alone doesn’t necessarily have a correlation to sadness. Am I alone right now? Yeah. Am I lonely? Wouldn’t say so. Actually I’m in a better place emotionally than I have been in a looong time |
  |
| Yes and no. But it depends on the circumstances of course. I got really depressed when I was about 14 and climbed out of it completely when I was 17. That summer I spent most of the time by myself, no friends no girlfriend no nothing, I was just happy that I wasn't depressed anymore. I was a person who used to be worried about everything and then I wasn't worried anymore. I haven't been able to regain that state of mind though. But honestly, I don't consider being alone very healthy. That said, even if you are surrounded by people you can still be alone. |

There are things that saved me from even having that kind of thoughts... I guess thanks to hentai huh... |
| Hmm...well, I wouldn't really say I'm lonely. In fact I have quite a few friends. It's just that I'm an introvert by nature so most of the time I'll just keep to myself and concentrate on my hobbies. However, I'm more than happy when people invite me out every once in a while. |
| it's not a bad thing, it's more of an introvert thing. even if i'm around people or lived with them i prefer some time alone or i get cranky, tired or annoyed. solitude, peace and quiet is the only way to recharge. |
| Solitude gives me peace, but permanently remaining in solitude can create inner chaos. A balance must be struck. |
| To be honest, I don't really have the time to be lonely. I'm always busy 24/7. If you're talking about relationship wise, I kinda want one but that wouldn't work out right now. I just wish I had more time :( |

| As I've gotten older I've realized loneliness, yes it's something very sad in a way and I would like a partner of some sort to ask me how my day was and what not. I do have family around me pretty consistently right now but you know, they can't connect with my on every level. It's kind of embracing your lonely status and reflection on it. And it is okay to be lonely. Find internet friends helps too. It's the best way I've ever been content. |

| I have less friends than Id like but then again I am super picky with life style choices, so its my own fault. I get lonely sometimes, but I would not categories myself as a lonely person I get a ton of social interaction. All depends on who you are and what you want in life.

| Having absolutely no real life friends (it's hard to believe but certain circumstances have made this true for me) I think I'm the very definition of lonely. (Forget about romantic relationships, that's an unreachable universe!) I go to everything alone; I do everything alone. Maybe I could change my situation if I tried (with friends, not with romance-that's unobtainable) but maintaining friendships take dedication and loneliness is addicting. I can do what I want when I want. There's this pretty famous quote: “Loneliness is dangerous. It’s addicting. Once you see how peaceful it is, you don’t wanna deal with people.” Sometimes I think it'd be nice to have someone to lean on... but then I think about the commitment and I wimp out. |
| Yes, sometimes I feel kinda lonely. Most of my friends are online friends and my gf lives in another timezone, so it can get pretty lonesome sometimes. Although it doesn't bother me too much usually. I'm more of the lone wolf time to be honest. |
| I get lonely sometimes, or homesick to be specific. Being really far from my home country hits me hard out of nowhere sometimes and there's really not much I can do about it in the short term other than call home or hunt down specific foods. I generally like to do things alone though. Social company is exhausting for me because I'm around a lot of grumpy and frustrated people during the workday. That image OP looks like bliss, actually. hah. |

| Yeah, i'm a lonely bastard these days. I'd prefer company, but I can do without. |

| I do go out often. but I'm not the type that requires company to feel secure. So yeah. |

| The feeling of being lonely is only because we do not have people that we can talk "important" stuff with. Something that inspires you to move on and continue a conversation. Even if you had many friends around you, if they did not make any satisfying conversations with you, you will feel lonely. But that is how you make it. I disgust people that say that they want to talk to people but wait it out. Just do it yourself, start a conversation if you want to do it. You can not wait for others' to see you if you do not even try lol. It depends on the question of less interaction. Everyone needs some interaction, while being alone too, unless you have a personality disorder/general mental thing of some sort involved with less interaction. Solitude will always be a safe bet. Being around people is more about what will come to risks, but how you handle it is all up to that. Some people will plain out be miserable if they get hurt, while others' in the first place, do not mind being alone. |

| hell nah i got hella friends!! fuck being alone facts!! |
 |
| I'm alone (aside from family) but not lonely. I have zero urge to make friends. I have negative urges to experience presencial social interactions. I'm not fond of going outside as there's almost nothing out there that interests me. Online interactions is all I need for social sustainment. |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
Alone, usually yes. And although it doesn't bother me, I would enjoy spending more time with the friends I already have. Lonely... I don't think I ever felt that way, as to me this feeling isn't related to other people, but to my relationship with myself. |

| i dont think it does, i'm not such a lonely but my friends (not all) are such an asshole so i keep away from them |
  |
| I do have friends and I like them loads, yet I like alone-time a lot too. I try to balance both. I do sometimes long for a more intimate relationship with someone, but I don't know if I'd even have the time for it anyway |
   ~ this night has opened my eyes and I will never sleep again the dream has gone ~ |
| I'm alone most of the time, I'm not sure if I'd like to be around other people often, but in the past it seemed like a lot of work to fit in, everyone tended to act fake to fit in, and I couldn't really understand it, so for a long time I've been alone, and quite lonely as of late. I like to play games and socialise with people every now and then, but other then that I'm alone, I'm not sure how I'd feel if I wasn't alone as often as I am, so I'm not sure if I'd be happier or sadder, one things for certain, being alone isn't great, but at times it does feel like the best way to be. If I were alone indefinitely I'd probably go insane, so I can't say it'll work out long term, but every now and then you have to be alone, it's a good way to consolidate your thoughts and experiences. |
| IRL: I'm alone , like always, but I don't really give a fuck about it. A lot of my friends dispersed across the country and really nobody bothers to keep contact. They probably got facebook or some shit like that, but I don't see the need to it. I do, from time to time, talk to this childhood friend of mine i've known since like 9, but really he's the only one around and like the only one who has never fully abandoned me thoughout the years. Crazy what times can do to you. |

| I prefer to keep to myself, I'm usually shy and quiet with most people. |
| OP, I like the gif you used. I looked at the collection of those on kotaku yesterday and thought they were really nice :) to your topic, I had a close friend group until last year but they all kinda moved on and stopped talking to me. so yeah I would say I’m lonely most of the time. I would prefer to have a few close friends again but I’m getting used to it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

| I dont feel that lonely nowadays. Anime helped me overcome that. |
"When you made this thread, I cried and screamed" -Swagernator 2017 |
| I never feel lonely and I enjoy being alone. Unfortunately my character traits attract people, I guess it can't be helped. |
| I am, for the most part, anti-social (and I actually prefer it that way, to be honest.) Having friends just creates a drama pool eventually, no matter how close you are with the people that you like to consider your friends - I learned from a mistake when I was in middle school (man, that was a long time ago) that even having close friends does not mean you are safe from betrayal or being left behind. Ever since then, all the way to graduating high school I have made as little friends as humanly possible, and I actually like it better this way. Now, that's not to say I don't have a few friends left hanging around - I very much do have some special people to me, but I don't let them become huge parts of my life and I don't socialize with them often. They respect that, for the most part. I like the feeling of being lonely more than having friends - too much risk involved in letting people into your life. People to target you as blackmail, for instance - people who can expose your secrets. I think that being lonely is a good thing - not a bad thing. Just because you walk past someone who is sitting all alone does not make them automatically a loser or unable to make friends. Some of us out there, like me, seriously just prefer to be alone. Granted, this is about 11% of the population. But some of us think gossip and drama is exposing and lame and not worth our time. And it's really not. However, I like to make internet friends though. I'm pretty open to people who don't know who I really am. |

| No, but yes. I have a wealth of friends. They are treasures that I adore and appreciate. I’ve gone from the middle of nowhere, with dialup internet, the farm on the east coast, traveling 92 miles for college to Los Angeles, half a world away. I make commercials and cook out of passion. And some days that still feel hollow. Always rising, but always quietly alone. Something might be wrong with me. I won’t every give up, but sometimes, no matter how hard I try or how much success I gain , I feel broken. |

| Well to my state from that time yes i was a bit lonely but i realized that i have other friends whom i considered them as my 2nd family, like a new round of life! God bless them and you all ^_^ |
| Not really. Most humans disgust me, and I get bored of people pretty quickly. It'd actually be pretty nice to have someone to complain to, but ain't nobody got time for that lmaoo |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| I have a disturbing feeling that sometimes, when I'm surrounded by people, I'm in my loneliest state. I'm not alone, but I feel lonely. |

| I like being alone for a bit, but not for too long. I hate the feeling of being lonely. As I don't have a lot of friends to hang out with (my own fault, I didn't network properly when I was a bit younger) I just go to my favorite pub for the night. I don't always talk to people when I'm there, but just the feeling of being around others relieves the feeling loneliness. I can't say if it is a bad thing or not. Some prefer it, others do not. I'm somewhere in the middle. I like spending time alone, but it can get too much. |

| I used to be very social person, hanging out with many people and somehow i was feeling lonely despite the fact i were next to them. Now, that i am older, i am alone, i am not hanging out with someone neither with my colleagues and follow the same routine for 6 days a week, Home - Work - Home. I don't mind being alone, i got used to it anyway. |

 I'm usually alone simply by choice. It's not all that big a deal (once becoming used to it and such), so I wouldn't necessarily call it a 'bad' thing. Friends and life-long companionship are just extras, really, but are good to have in general. |

| I am lonely and I really like it.... I don't want anyone.... I have my waifus yeah.... who needs friends when you have anime? |
| who isn't? Guess we all just have to stick together, make friends and we won't be lonely anymore. Sounds easy, right? well it's not. Anyways, feel free to message me. |
| Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho |
| yes. and actually lonely too. not bs "my friends didn't invite me out tonight" lonely. |
