*MOST OF US ARE LONELY.* What is loneliness? Most of us are lonely. Out of that loneliness, we want companionship. We escape from loneliness through every form of entertainment, religious as well as that which is most amusing. We escape in so many ways. But like a deep disease that must be cured, it is always there. So one must go into this very carefully because if we don’t understand it, our action, which is our daily relationship with each other, will distort that relationship. That relationship then becomes merely exploiting each other to escape from this deep abiding loneliness. Why are we so lonely? I don’t know if you have ever experienced the state of loneliness, isolation, having no relationship at all with others. Perhaps some of you have experienced this, or most of you. And if we don’t understand that loneliness, our actions will be distorted. So we are inquiring not only into action but also into loneliness, which destroys, disrupts, distorts all relationship in action. What is loneliness? Why are we so self-centred? Why are we in our own lives? We may have friends, be married and all the rest of it, but we are always concerned with ourselves. Our actions are self-centred: ambitious, greedy, envious, suffering, aggressive. That is fairly clear. Is that the root of this deep loneliness of man? And can that loneliness utterly disappear? When there is a hurt, psychological hurt, any action that takes place must inevitably be affected by the hurt. We get very hurt, not only about little things but deeply hurt in not being able to fulfil, not being able to achieve, not being able to become something. We get deeply hurt, and that hurt affects our actions. You cannot escape from distorting action if you are hurt. That is, as long as you have an image about yourself, you are going to be hurt. Inevitably. And when there is hurt, action will be destructive, will bring about conflict. Is it possible to be aware of this loneliness and not escape from it, but remain with it: not take a drink, not pick up a book, not rush off to some form of entertainment, but to completely, without any movement of thought, remain with that feeling of utter isolation? Then you will see, if you do, that feeling of isolation disappears entirely, because it is thought that creates the sense of isolation.

Totally agree

Ironic

Omg what a profound truth

SUPPOSE I AM VERY LONELY. Though I am married, have children, go to the office, go to the temple and all that nonsense that goes on, I am utterly, profoundly lonely. Being lonely, I escape because I don’t know how to tackle that loneliness. I don’t understand what loneliness is, but I am frightened: this sense of existence in which there is no relationship with another, no sense of communication with another, thoroughly enclosed. Don’t you know these feelings? Wake up! As my brain doesn’t know how to solve it, it escapes. It escapes through entertainment. Whether it is religious entertainment or football, they are both the same. Do you agree? Are you really agreeing that religious entertainment, going to the temple, the puja and all the things that go on there, and football are the same? They are entertainments because they do not alter your life. They are just an amusement. Do you agree to this? Is it only a verbal agreement or actually saying, ‘They are the same’? Therefore finished with it. So what is loneliness? Without escaping, without running away into illusory, imaginary ideals, the actual fact is that I am despairingly, anxiously lonely. I may be married, I may have sex, I may have children, but this thing is rotting. Most of us are deeply hurt from childhood, and we carry that hurt throughout life. You can say it doesn’t matter, that it will not affect your action, but it does affect action because unconsciously, deeply, your actions are guided by your hurt. You build a wall around yourself not to be hurt more, and the consequences of that hurt are bitterness and more loneliness. And why do human beings go through this loneliness? Ask yourself. As two friends we are talking about this. Why? It must exist because of your actions. Your daily actions are self-centred. Your daily thoughts and activities are concerned with yourself. You may be a social worker and give your life to that, but the ‘me’ is still going on, only you have identified yourself with something. Like the communist identifies with the State, with the ideal, you identify yourself with something else. So as long as there is self-centred activity, there must be loneliness. I don’t know if you see this. If your chief concern is ‘me’, then that ‘me’ must act in a very narrow circle. And that action must inevitably produce this exhausting, despairing loneliness. Do you understand all this, not verbally but actually?

No wouldn't hate you for this infact what you're saying is true

Maybe, at times I visit temples and meet new people. engage in a few activities, and help the needy ones. Almost a few years to retirement, lost a few friends along the way and gained new ones.

​​@@kittyindAnd that doesn't sound cool for gen Z.

Can we stop this “love yourself” bullsh!t?

honestly, this isn't bs at all. It's a process of giving yourself the respect and attention you'd always deserved.

@SayantanChakraborty-ub7ei Maybe for you...but not really...if someone likes themselves...they'll do what they wanna do...and what they want to do is leave bangalore...​like i am from ooty and love ooty...but I've worked in bangalore since 2013...fukin crap i hate bangalore man...we are wild people...i don't like to sit in front of a computer...i grew up with white people in ooty...i never stayed at bangalore for more then a few months a time...finally 2022 i said let's leave that's it i started becoming sick too shoulder pain i became lean and that place is racist too horrible...bangalore people dream about ooty..the bangalore tourists i met last year say wow i am lucky to live in ooty so clean newt so peaceful so cold and no pollution its like london for me...what bangalore has...???...prostitution yuck disgusting everyone getting drunk at nights...like do they do anything adventurous or do camping hiking trekking or just take a cold walk...nooo...they go and sit in front of a computer...and go home unhappy and get sick soon and die soon...not cool man not cool...

That’s true. I stay in a different country all alone. I don’t feel lonely. Sometimes I cannot understand why some ppl despite having so many ppl around keep feeling lonely. Some ppl out of loneliness keep talking hours in phone and then after the call again start to feel lonely. Loneliness is more of an internal thing. Just a bunch of friends and frequent meet ups will not help.

Bullshit talk with no base and no maturity

That is 1 factor for sure, however, there are many people who are lonely despite being surrounded by family members. It's about connecting meaningfully and not just socialising without deeper connection.

That is another discussion. Most youngsters do not value marriage and are not interested.

​@@ln7487then stay lonely! What else

Marriage are a kind of burden these days ...

Same as u think bro 😇

Living alone is the best thing people don't realize that

Exactly, luv yourself and your own company otherwise we endup in a wrong friendship which give much more pain than being lonely I learnt the art of being alone infact if u don't luv yourself even if u are surrounded with 100s of ppl you still feel lonely...so pls learnt art of living buddies

You get exhausted when you try to please and appease people around you. You need to learn to live your way rather than always trying to meet people's expectations. Every one is unique on this planet though we might have many things in common. Thirst for knowledge removes loneliness, keep learning and studying that's the best solution. Some people feel lonely despite having too many friends. I have very few friends now, by choice.

​@@kspradeep8397 Your advice is spot on.. Quality over quantity anytime. Thanks for the reminder!

Nothing will compensate for lack of social interaction.

​@@doncorleone3901 true - no one is really isolated - they go and work outside, etc. its beyond all 'usual' interation when the loneliness starts.

@@ytadltspv loneliness is when there is a lack of "meaningful" social interaction. This is a bigger problem for people who crave deep, meaningful connections with people and don't really enjoy surface level hi, hello pleasantries. When you want to talk about life, ambitions, career issues, economy, deep dive into politics etc, that's when you realize there is practically no one in the immediate surrounding that is actually interested in all that. I don't blame anyone here. It's just that most normal people are happy with food, small jokes, tv and that's that. So someone that is not satisfied with just that tends to be lonely

You need to be fortunate for that

O yes, mumbai pune is lot better. Local vibe is good and non flashy. Banglorr is all about money.

Ye so true

not ignorant - 'natives' have our families here and get involved in each others' lives, our problem is lived thru alrdy - we also came from villages outside decades ago and all our people are elsewhere, some long gone, and those times were gentler even if we had much less money. now people that leave all their loved ones and roots behind just to find work and earn are in a much tougher life even with all the money and 'modern' facilities. it happens to every country and society that needs to earn money and loses its moorings - look at the us - detroit, etc. what were once thriving are all decadent now. people have to figure out their lives the way each can. i suspect the main reason for this loneliness is fear of the future looking at so many bad stories around - layoffs, failed relationships, etc. while the fix is right before us - learning from books and about ourselves and helping others in a structured way. hitting clubs and pizza huts for the weekend isnt the solution.

@@ShriNidhi-zu2im people that feed demons in their minds and keep running around in their own small circles with no other useful interest in lift - reading, sports, social service, etc - will only be lonely. if every important stage in personal life is a milestone, the yearly events that lead to each one is a step to plan for and execute. beyond that there s a big wide world there with so much to learn about and so many people to help or try backup options - run small biz like social entrepreneur etc. why will someone every feel lonely if he/she gets out of their own personal hells???? our elders had so little and did so much, they werent lonely - they built relationships with others and did their best. we have so much but give and do so little. thats the problem.

Can One Go Beyond Loneliness? WHAT IS LONELINESS? Most of us know the feeling of being completely isolated. Though you are with your friends, in a group or with your family, you feel completely cut off, isolated. And that isolation, that loneliness is rather painful. Being aware of that pain we either escape from it, try to cover it up or rationalise it. But at the end of it, the loneliness still remains. Then what is one to do with it? What is this sense of loneliness? Is it the result of our daily life which is so self-centred, so egocentric, so selfish, which is all the time isolating, building a wall around oneself? That brings about a quality or feeling of utter loneliness, utter despair in that loneliness. If you do not escape from it and you see the absurdity of escaping, the fact that running away from it is part of that loneliness, then you have the energy to face loneliness. We are wasting that energy through verbal or actual escape, so when you realise the absurdity, the silliness of it, then you are facing loneliness.

@@ShriNidhi-zu2im very well written!, I understand where you're coming from, to be honest I've never had problems till now to make new friends. This is also because I still am in my college and haven't stepped into the corporate world so have no experience regarding it, the bottom line that I truly believe in is that if you're truly there for a person, for no ulterior motive, you are bound to be friends, but in today's day and age, everyone does things for a reason, everything is a barter, plus life gets so hectic when you grow up, you have so much responsibilities to deal with, and they must be fulfilled. Ever wondered why the number of friends are highest in school? Because our hearts are in the purest forms, there are no judgements in schools, there is no "what you'll do in return if I'll do this for you", it's just you are at your purest heart with little to no bad experiences with people, and the number of friends decreases eventually from college to job to life. This also happens because the clean heart gets smart intrinsically and humans naturally have this instinct of not going to initiate new friendships due to their ego coming their ways hence making it difficult to form new bonds, Naval Ravikant once said "Love is always given" and sadly people want to be loved first only then they would want to give it back to others, but the fact is you have to give first then receive, and believe me once you start doing this selflessly, you'll start to notice the wonders of the world. I think we can be good friends too, and surely we should connect.. My insta username is the same mentioned here. Cheers to life you've got one new friend today hehehe :))) 🥂

@@ShriNidhi-zu2im This paragraph really helped me to understand the root cause of loneliness. However, there is still a basic human need to have a meaningful connection with people. It gives us a sense of safety that there is someone by my side. The need of this safety comes from evolutionary past when our ansistors had better probability to survive when they lived in groups. I wish I had someone like you in my real life with whom I could have deep talks about life.
