I'm addicted... to loneliness

Three years ago I had written a chapter called, Loneliness Is Fun, which ended with a line that read, 'For, it is loneliness that leads to thoughts, thoughts to curiosity, and curiosity to discovery and realisation.'
I thought I'd change with the years, with some new people in my life, with age. I won't deny, I even tried to. I started pretending to enjoy with people, to an extent that I would acknowledge out aloud to myself that I am having fun. I don't really know why I did that. But if I were to reason it out, I would imagine it was because I envied those all around me who truly enjoyed their friends, and the moments with them.
It was confusing. I didn't know what I really wanted. 'As a rule, I was a fool. When it was hot I wanted it cold. When it was cold I wanted it hot. Always wanted what was not.'
And I don't know if anything's changed now.
I know I am a loner though. I can pretend as much as I want. I can laugh, I can crack jokes, I can make people laugh, I can intrigue them with a conversation, I can make them feel so comfortable with me as if they've known me for ages.
But at the end of the day, I know I walk alone.
I shove people who choose to walk with me away, somehow. It just happens, on it's own.
I want to spread my arms and I'm afraid I'll hurt the person walking beside me.
I'm seraching for something. I don't know what.
I'm going somewhere. I don't know where.
I walk, I know, this lonely road... alone.
I want to reach a destination now. I'm tired. Very tired...

shouldn't be the post titled 'I need a gf who will be permanent' instead of 'I'm addicted... to loneliness'

OK... this is it...
I'm not allowing anonymous comments anymore. This is ridiculous.

I have already surrendered Lavajava.
Don't assume you know me. you don't know me.
I have surrendered thats why I am going with the flow. It was just an expression of desire that I wish the plan is for me to end my search. I am not trying to make things happen. I'mw aiting for them to happen. Seems like you don't understand my blogs too well.

your words ring true to me as well. I agree with all of it and am as confused as ever about it. There is no meaning in it. For me it has got to a point where if I feel my sense of freedom (options) is oppressed by friends or my surroundings I get aggravated. There is no comfort greater than the comfort within.

Loneliness takes me by the hand,
leads me to a dark hall of forgotten memories.
My life now rests in the peaceful sounds
that linger in my heart.
Darkness feels so addicting,
that a glimpse of light hurts,
My peace is drowing my sense,
intoxicating my mind,
slowly burying my reality…
into the deep ocean.


What some people don't get is that Loneliness can be a beautiful thing too.. just because some dont engage in social activities and laugh with the whole world doesn't mean they belong to a mental assylum.

I understand everything you are talking about....Its like you are wording every one of my thoughts.....Somehow I am looking for something too, and I don't want to be held back....
Melancholy and loneliness is inspirational to me.... Somehow when I feel lonely i become more aware of myself as a person..I am able to get rid of the way society thinks in general, and open my mind to crazy things which would probably scare people...It is like I am free and somehow I am flying outside of this place....It is really hard to explain....I just feel so....it is hard to explain for people who have never felt it.
Still searching for that thing though, I am not sure I'll ever find it while I'm alive.

Reading through this it just feels as you were describing me!
I am very tired also ,I guess I know why but can't do anything about it.
Loneliness is like a part of me.
If you want to break it just break the routine, because when thoughts are way more thought than done, that unbalances everything.
It is because we think too much and wish that would happen someday, on it's own!
Are you still in Qatar? if so Email me.
Cheers mate.
