  1. We don't truly "know" each other.  In most cases, we only know "of" each other.

    To prove this to yourself, think of one person in your life you think you know well and list things about them that other people would not know.


  2. Loneliness appears to be something we can control by becoming more extroverted or by changing our present circle or location.

    Also, we learn it is best to avoid some of the people in our lives.  We learn a hard lesson from them, and then move on.

  3. Of course they are in our lives for a reason. Some people are blinded by their pain of being lonely to realize all they have to do is reach out.

    We all need that someone. Be it the girl at the library or the neighbor across the street. Our doctors the nurses. We need them and believe it or not to some degree they need us to need them.

  4. cuz they cant figure out the internet

  5. Loneliness is a state of mind you are never really alone.

    People in this world that feel that they are alone do so usually because they were hurt and could never come to term's with it and so mentally isolate them self's from other people.

    They don't want to talk to other people they don't want to be around other people and all of it can be resolved by looking at the fact that they have been hurt and don't want to allow another person to hurt them again so they mentally isolate themselves.

    All of us at one time or another have been hurt and for a little while we isolate our self's also this is a defense mechanism.

    But then we can't stand not having human contact so we turn the page and move on we are mentally stable to realize that this is a natural human emotion called detachment.

    But there are those who are mentally unstable and so have trouble turning the page and moving on and stay detached and isolate themselves into a state we call loneliness.

    So your answer would be because there is so many mentally unstable people out there in the world.

    I hope that this was helpful  

  6. Indiviual choice due to life experiences deternube why each person is lonely.

    Nobody can determine who comes into our lives at any given moment really.  So the person we meet and those that meet us determine if we will maintain contact or not.

  7. You have to "get out and about" to meet people.  For one reason or another some people either can't or don't do this.

    If you know of a lonely person, go out of your way to show a little kindness.  You may be the inspiration they need to move on from whatever pain or fear is holding them back.

  8. because they are out of our life for another reason.

  9. Mainly because these LONELY people WANT to be lonely. There are so many people who strive and thrive in loneliness. Misery loves company they say.

    To someone YOU are an angel. To others you are just YOU, no big deal.

    Many times all YOU have to do is SMILE at someone and their day becomes much brighter. Heroics are not always what you MINISTER. Most often it is the simple things -- smile, laugh, say a nice word or just be there.  

  10. Why assume they are there for a reason. Maybe you just bumped into them on the city bus? The universe has no purpose for putting such people in our lives; but you may find any purpose you wish to keep them in your life. But it doesn't mean THEY won't still be unhappy.


  11. because they haven't met the right person yet or they have and blew it
