Lonely vs alone

Alone is being by oneself with which you may be perfectly content.

Lonely is when you feel abandoned or left out. This can occur even if you are in a crowd and is associated with anxiety or depression.

I rather much like being alone. But cannot stand to be lonely.

To be alone is to be totally satisfied to be by yourself. Sometimes you actually can't wait to be alone after having a busy day at work, dealing with people that have a disease of drama within their souls, you are angry or even sad, your glad that your home alone..ready to run around bra less and wearing pajamas all day, and the list goes on.

To be lonely is a depressing road to take. You could be in a roomful of people and feel the loneliest. That saying threes a crowd is totally true and if your the oddball chances are your going to feel pretty damn lonely. Living in a new area and not knowing anyone and being by yourself on a daily basis is also lonely.

I'd much rather feel alone than lonely.

Lonely and Alone.

Lonely.

To feel lonely is to feel sodomy and gloom. You feel deep aversions of pity and self hatred if it eats you alive. To feel lonely is something that eats you alive until you have no choice but to burst out in tears due to your lack of peace and self awareness.

Alone.

Alone in solitude, I always am. This solitude is peaceful, gives me way to understanding that I am not alone. I know that when I am alone I thrive more. Thriving creatively, making imaginations realities.

So, to be lonely is to never feel the gift of being alone.

Lonely vs. Alone

You can be lonely in a crowded room. You can be lonely surrounded by loved ones. Being lonely is more of an emotional feeling or act. Being alone is more of a physical feeling.

Personally, per the definition above, I would always prefer being alone over being lonely.

Lonely is when you feel alone but others are around. Alone is when you have no one at all. I'd rather be lonely because I feel alone and I don't like it. I want to have somebody here for me.
