Please lock me away
And don’t allow the day
Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness
I don’t care what they say
I won’t stay in a world without love
Birds sing out of tune
And rain clouds hide the moon
I’m okay, here I’ll stay with my loneliness
I don’t care what they say
I won’t stay in a world without love
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love smile
She may come, I know not when
When she does, I’ll lose
So baby until then
Lock me away
And don’t allow the day
Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness
I don’t care what they say
I won’t stay in a world without love
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love smile
She may come, I know not when
When she does, I’ll know
So baby until then
Lock me away
And don’t allow the day
Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness
I don’t care what they say
I won’t stay in a world without love
I don’t care what they say
I won’t stay in a world without love

I’m thinking of buying a little robot puppy for a relative of mine. She’s in her 60’s, and what used to be called an
Old Maid. No husband, boyfriend or kids. Plus, she has completely retired early.
I have only partially retired.
I like a little regular contact through part time work.
I do not have to work five days a week anymore, and I don’t.
I’m hoping she doesn’t get insulted that I would even ask her such a question.
Cure: Become a regular at your local bar.
4 times a week.
Eat a burger and drink two beers.
Conversate with the drunks.
I live alone, but wasn’t lonely until two Fridays ago when my best friend ( my wire fox terrier) died on me. I miss him terribly, he was my shadow, and now he’s gone.
All is vanity.
Unless you live in a remote place, there is no reason to be alone, if you don’t want to be.
What are your interest? I gurantee you that there is most likely people with similar interest that meet every so often.
Attend a church, join a fraternal organization. Get active in your community. Volunteer at your local hospital.
As others pointed out, become a regular somewhere. May be a bar or it may be the local McDonalds. Show up often enough and you will soon be talking to the other regulars.
If you want friends you can have friends, but you have to make the effort to find them, they will not randomly knock on your door and ask to be your friend (well the Mormons might).
One can be smothered in love by immediate family, yet be made lonely by lack of outside associations.
Dennis Prager was talking today about the subject of friendships for adults.
I didn’t hear it all, as I was at work, listening off and on.
But I think the gist of it was that some people have a hard time making friends as adults, and that marriage,family, and work, make it hard to find time to nurture these friendships.
One woman caller to the program said she was happy to live alone, and be alone, after her divorce. Marriage was a struggle for her, and she didn’t feel the need for friendships in her life.
“facing an epidemic of loneliness and social isolation.”
Being alone doesn’t necessarily mean that someone is lonely.
Some people are lonely, others are fine.
I have a lot of pals here on Free Republic.
Just today, one of my buddies said that I was special.
He would know because he was in a lot of Special Education classes.
People are overrated.
“The more powerful and original the mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.”
- Aldous Huxley
I associate loneliness with young age.
I am an old boy now, living alone, but my health is good, and as long as I have basic cable TV, quiet neighbors, a good Internet connection, and my own bathroom, I never feel unhappy, or bored, or lonely.
I have been politically passionate since I was a child - more Libertarian than Conservative.
I am not religious at all, but I have come to the conclusion that religious passion and political passion occupy the exact same part of the human brain.
“Hell is other people.”
— Jean Paul Sartre
I ride the bus to work and get off and walk the last three miles to my office. A co-worker suggested I post on our electronic bulletin board to try and find someone who might want to join me. My response was “why?”
We have friends and relatives, who have to have a loyal dog to walk and talk to.
There a couple of friends, who have cats which ignore them!
One of our neighbors for 40 years is on her 4th dog. They last about 10 years, and when they pass on. She says she doesn’t want another dog. My wife and I tell her she needs a dog. So she gets another one.
One of my female siblings in her mid 70’s is on her 4th or 5th dog. She and the dogs go every where together and they keep my sibling sane.
One female friend for 50+ years, is a happy divorcee and on her third Siamese cat. She says the cats ignore her unless they are hungry, like her former husband did and are less abusive and smarter.
The dog and cat people travel and shop with their critters and walk and talk with them.
I still prefer to be with my wife and a few friends.
My tax lady has long conversations with her Rumba vacuum cleaner.
A lot of people wouldn’t be lonely if they were not assholes.
