Not really. Crowded cities are some of the most lonely places in the world.

but THAT is the irony here! that amidst crowding there should be loneliness!

No... crowds are impersonal. Loneliness is opposed by a sense of belonging or close relationships with people, which kind of assumes a small group of people you know and interact with regularly.

let me guess? you see the cup half empty

all you have to do is show girls your poetry and they like you.

If all else fails, you can always become gay

Sorry but you can't just change your mood with a snap of your fingers. And I don't think you can choose to whom you're attracted.
Trolling people isn't fun

I am totally so lonely.
Live in Sydney Australia.
Not sure I even want sex.
Really just to be held and nurtured.
Have been weeeeird since I was three.
Was called "The Little Policeman" already @ that age.
In Jon Elder Robison's 2nd book his new wife knows when to just "gentle" him.
Like be close and there for him.
Even tho I have fathered kids & then their mothers turn against me.
I have never had this ever in my life.
And I am getting older and older.
Lonelier & lonelier.
It is no good.
Depressing.
A Failure.
Fraud.
Sad.

I think this has happened to a lot of men. Their relationships fail, the woman gets the kids and everything else and the man always gets nothing. In our society men are completely replaceable. All you need to get a woman and make her pregnant is to have a job and be assertive. Which almost anyone with a dick can do.

it is all too easy to marginalize the people who don't fall in the category of "almost."

nah im serious you can become gay, since theres not a lot of gay dudes around so gay guys are more likely to wanna go out with you. You don't have to have sex or anything, you can just say you're an asexual gay.

Who says?

You can be hand in hand with the 'perfect' person for you, in a place you've always wanted to be, and still feel lonely.

And vice versa, you can be sat alone on a massive beach at 3am, hearing the splash of the waves, and feel so connected.

All the lonely people. With lonliness feelings.

Right. When my lesbian friend complains about her bad dating prospects, I'll tell her: "Well, why don't you become straight?" I'm sure she'll be very happy. Erm... Bazinga!

I really can't tell if im lonely. Well, to a degree, *points at post count*, but that could just be a manifestation of my idealism, aka seeking perfection in interpersonal relationships.

If you place yourself in circumstances that lead to a certain degree of isolation, perhaps you are less lonely than you think.

Or maybe a mind****ed myself. Meh. I sit down, cross my legs, and move my upper body clockwise at 8rpm. *facepalm*
...
Oddly, i appreciate the emotional artistry of loneliness.

It clicked one day. I have empathy now. It has downsides i didn't expect. It's going somewhat poorly, since people tend to suck at new things. That's how you know it's true.

24 and yet still no loved one but a lot of heart ache...Beginning to think I'm better off alone, although that'll just cause me to be bitter, it always does.

Can this guy over here get some love in a loveless world? Like, real love, like, romantic, cuddly, sexual, everything is free, everything is genuine, everything is pure love? Yeah, that kind of love. And then what's in my pants wrecks it if I ever do find something remotely close to that though...

No, that's not what i mean. I can't just say i want to feel happy now and feel happy. I also have those moments that i have no reason to feel sad or lonely but still am.
