[Zipporah Schumaker]

The condition of being lonely; solitude; seclusion.

[Vania]

Something that will [make] you [harder], [meaner] and colder.

[Merna]

That empty, dark, [hopeless] feeling you have. Maybe its after losing a loved one, or maybe its just the fact that you woke up in the middle of the night to feel [the other side of the bed] is [vacant].

[PussyCat]

Being [alone] isnt [loneliness]. [Loneliness] is being alone when you [desire] otherwise.

[Sommer]

Loneliness is not the same as being alone. Many people have times when they are alone through circumstances or choice. Being alone can be experienced as positive, pleasurable, and emotionally refreshing if it is under the individuals control. [Solitude] is the state of being alone and secluded from other people, and often implies having made a conscious choice to be alone. Loneliness is unwanted [solitude]. Loneliness does not require being alone and is experienced even in crowded places. It can be described as the absence of identification, understanding or compassion. Loneliness can be described as a feeling of [isolation] from other individuals, regardless of whether one is physically isolated from others or not.

[Kai]

The feeling of [despair] and [isolation] suffered when you move to another location, have no friends, live alone far from any past family or friends. The feeling of constant pain and self personality [criticism] due to your situation and social inability to change your situation

[Rihanna]

[You know it] becomes really bad when you start posting definitions of it on a website in [hopes] of someone reading it. I can only recommend two things. Find some new friends. Or find [none at all], and eventually youll get used to it. Ive tried both, and I cant really say which one is better than the other.

[Agnes]

Sadness because one has no friends or company.
