I'm lonely and mildly depressed because of it.
I'm lonely sometimes but it's alright.
I don't suffer from it.
I don't suffer from it, I even enjoy my lonely life.
I rarely ever feel lonely. And i am someone who doesn't have any friends. I rather spend my free time pursuing things i have a passion for than waste time worrying about friends and relationships. |

The previous picture was "snow splashed on blue background". It was so meaningless a change had to be done. So I picked a new picture which kind of fits my nonsensical username. |

Nah I think the picture is quite beautiful I don't remember ever feeling this with pictures (that's why I can't appreciate paintings), but I feel what she is feeling. Or maybe the person is male with very pretty hair She just stepped into fresh air, stretches her arms and breathes, allowing her lungs to take in all the sweetness. *sniffffff* ahhhhhhh |

I'm not lonely, I'm anything but depressed |

I appreciate your recommendation, but how is that relevant to this thread? I'm not saying that you shouldn't post anying off-topic, I mean.. Post whatever the hell you want! But I'm just curious if there is a loneliness-love link that I missed.. |
|
of course! how could I forget that? |
|
Yeah thanks, Conscience. I'll put it in the notepad on my phone and I might read it some day. I don't know if giving is more or less enjoyable than receiving love (I prefer giving), but I think it is definitely more sustainable. |

Ginsan, I'd recommend at least one hour of meditation per day, although I started my practice doing two one-hour sessions, and seeing the results it brought, I wouldn't have done it any other way. You might want to start with thirty-minute sessions if you feel one hour sits are too much at first. The early morning or just upon awakening is an excellent time to meditate, as the mind is already calm and relaxed, so it's a great opportunity to experience really tranquil and concentratedre states of mind and eventually give rise to the rapture that results from these states, and the end of the day is also a great time to meditate, as it allows the meditator to face and deal with all of the issues that arose during the day which one likely needs to release one's attachment to, almost like a workout for the mind to develop the skills needed to alleviate harmful mind states. |

I agree that 2 sessions, one after waking up and one before sleeping is a great way to practice. The problem is that I'm just too lazy. Maybe if I suffered more, I would care enough about it to spend decent time practicing. |

Aristaeus, this may very well sound condescending and I apologise in advance. Your words would have a much stronger resonance with me a few months ago, but not so now. I want to move away from this kind of attitude. Simply because it's less enjoyable. You miss out on things if you can't enjoy people's company, you know? I don't enjoy social activities that much and last week I wrote something like this in my notepad "Really, how much would I care if every single person I knew or had ever known would die right now? Not much.. The impact on my life would probably not even be significant enough to make me depressed." (Which I often am) And I still have that opinion. But I also think that while I know these people, I might as well enjoy their company. |

Interesting response, but I can't think of anything clever to say right now, because my mind is occupied with thoughts about the rat that has just entered the premises |
