Loneliness

While some lonely individual may deal with the pain of loneliness by diving into a fantasy world, other individuals may think that their only way out is through death. Death is the only escape to loneliness. In my descriptions of the  feelings associated with loneliness, I also described that there can be feelings of being out of control. That is, that loneliness seems to have a life of its own and can trap us into feeling lonely all the time, that it is inescapable. It is no wonder therefore that some of us can feel like the only way we can overcome loneliness is to commit suicide. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT ANYONE WHO IS FEELING THIS WAY, TALK TO SOMEONE ESPECIALLY A COUNSELOR OR PROFESSIONAL WHO CAN HELP THEM DEAL WITH THESE EMOTIONS. Loneliness can be overcome, even if you feel like you cannot escape it, there is a way out, others have done it before you and you can too. The most frequent way that people coped with feelings of loneliness, as mentioned in the poems, was by imagining having someone there. In some cases it was romanticized, having the knight in shining armor coming to rescue them from their loneliness, or having the perfect lover or friend. In other cases though, it was just something more general, just to have someone there to share our thoughts and feelings with, having someone to care. Yet in other cases, the object of affection was very specific, and in such cases the poet was imagining that particular object of affection there next to them, picturing their face, their smell or their presence. All cases required that dreaming of that special someone, fantasizing in an attempt to fill the void of loneliness. http://www.webofloneliness.com/dealing-with-loneliness.html
