I don't think he meant it like that but ok...
I think you cannot be alone and not be lonely. This obviously depends on how you're feeling though. If you're feeling ty then you will always feel lonely while alone. If not than you might not feel that way. I don't know, could be I'm talking BS.:conf: |

Yup. It all depends on mood... It's quite possible to be alone and not lonely if you are preoccupied with something else. |

I used to worry about being single, then i realized a couple (get it?) of things:
1) It has been my choice to not get involved
2) most people i know w/ a girl/boyfriend are miserable 90% of the time because of it. I was one of them for a bit.
I dont waste my time bullting with girls I wouldnt want to hang out w/ be w/ etc... I would MUCH rather be goin on a bike ride or a hike, or even drinking and watching visualization on my computer than be with some girl that annoyed the out of me.
This applies to friends also, if there arent any cool people in your life dont waste your time pretending they are a good friend. Just wait.
All in all, I would say being with people is the BEST way to feel alone. You realize what a dick most people are, and it is disheartening.
the Tao of Steve has the three cardinal rules
1) Lose desire
2) Be excellent
3) Be gone
my idea on the subject anyways |

Yes, I think its possible.
First, I think it's easy not to feel lonely when you're alone if that's all you have ever known. Kind of like you dont know what you're missing, so if you've never had something, you can't miss it that much.
Or, if you are an extremely fulfilled , content person you might be able to be alone and not be lonely. I dont happen to be at that point in my life (fulfilled and content),so i will not expand further upon things I know not of.
HOWEVER- It is DEFINITELY possible to be alone AND lonely. Like you didn't know that.
that's my piece.
