Very important to balance "chosen" solitude versus sad loneliness...
I was a very isolated individual for many years until I found a program with individuals like myself I could relate to....One of the program slogans is "you are not alone"....also the concept of a loving "higher power" helped me with the times I felt isolated and sad....
Today I am much more comfortable in social situations but also enjoy most my chosen times of peace and serenity especially in this constant "noise" society.
"Feeling Alone"
