Do You Agree That Loneliness Can Be Addictive And Therefore Dangerous?

[Nameless14]

Why or why not?

[woofgang]

loneliness....ie wishing for company that you don't have......or wishing to be alone and disliking company?

[goodgoalie]

Why don't you give us your views, for a change?

[andy-hughes]

I don't think it is addictive - you can't be addicted to a circumstance, but I do agree that it is dangerous, but the two concepts are not connected.

[youngmafbog]

No I dont.

[kvalidir]

No loneliness isn't addictive, it's miserable and hateful and anyone who has been genuinely lonely would certainly never crave that feeling again.

[Baldric]

That's a 'No' and a 'No' from me then.

I am rarely alone but if I am I enjoy my own company.

"I am rarely alone but if I am I enjoy my own company."

We didn't need to know that Balders. :P

AB is a sure cure for anyone addicted to loneliness... it can be dangerous too.

I do love the company of others and even murmer to oneselve when alone but addicted to either nope.

How would you define loneliness compared to the state of being alone?

[dannyk13]

Loneliness is when you do not want to be alone but you are,

[dannyk13]

I have been mainly alone for 14 years, but I am not lonely.

It's definitely dangerous. I wouldn't say it's addictive. You might crave some alone time if you're always surrounded by people, but that's a very different thing.
