Why do we feel lonely?

[whistlingwh0res]

I mean.. I am not perfect but then I don't feel the need of being together but then why where this lonely feeling coming from? Is this scam that someone is putting up with on the other side of the world? Someone is using my image to get someone and they stealing my thoughts and feelings that might have been mine? Have you thought of why you feel lonely? I mean horniness is something else. I am not talking about it. just loneliness feelings. why?

Human are social animals. They need society or people around them to be in good and healthy state of mind who does think like them who do understand them. Sometimes when someone is extremely ambitious or have some passion they get busy in that so they don't have time to sit alone to feel about need to be with somebody. But it's like those medicine what numbs the pain for some periods of time but in background pain still remains. And when we get break from that ambitious stuff we do feel presence of loneliness which existed all along.

Being strong enough to not "need" anyone is different from the basic requirements of a human being.

Being strong means I'm strong enough to bear the consequences but it doesn't mean it cancel out the presence of consequences.

I don't need something doesn't mean always that you don't need but it means you can deal with whatever happens in it's absence, you can deal with it's cravings. For example you don't need sex doesn't mean you would stop feeling for it but you are ready to deal with it's cravings and consequences whatever happens in it's absence.

We feel lonely because we want to belong to something nobody wants to be alone. We were never meant to be alone
