The difference between alone and lonely

I’ve felt lonely for years now … despite having plenty of supportive friends online, I’ve been cut off from regular, physical, contact with all bar one adult face, and that one not particularly receptive to interactions or emotions.

But now I’m alone … that face having found somewhere he’s happier … and yet I find myself, whilst still for all intents and purposes cut off from the ‘real’ world, no longer lonely.


Strange how the human mind works.  Feeling alone in a crowded room … or surrounded by friends in an empty one?  Having had them both, I know which I’d rather be.
