you can't die of boredom....

[Gitta Rensolo]

.....but can you die from being alone? I mean ALONE?.....Like not seeing and talking to anyone for ages? I have the impression I've read something about it, but I am not quite sure...so in the end (if it'S possible) you will die of loneliness in the first place, but also of boredom, because you were lonely....I guess...what's the differnec ebetween alone and lonely anyways? Is it just the word or is "lonely" just a state of mind and alone a matter of fact?

And I am in a mood of thinking about random things right now, because there is Sigur Ros in the background and I feel sick and stayed in bed all day long....and everything feels so strange....so I want to share my random thoughts with someone...

define "ages"?

[an angel]

There are plenty of recluses who live to be very old.

[Gitta Rensolo]

hmmmm like....10 years?...I don't know when it could become critical in this case

[Stargirl]

What if you were blind and deaf? :P

[Gitta Rensolo]

Don't scare me....I had exactly the same question on my mind just some seconds ago...:uhoh:

You can still feel....we probably underestimate this

[William]

What if you were blind and deaf? :P

I get shivers down my spine only thinking about that :P

[Gitta Rensolo]

I think if I wouldn't see anybody for years I would die because of thinking too much....my head would explode

:rolleyes::laugh3: Hasn't happened yet, so don't worry.:P
I was thinking this somewhat myself - but how did Robinson Crusoe do it then?

[Gitta Rensolo]

I was thinking about that film with Tom Hanks....it was called "CAstaway" right?.....I mean he even found a friend in this ball....:bigcry:

You can die for being alone. Youll get mad after a while and you start doing weird things. You eat less or maybe more. You sleep whenever you want to.

I saw something like that on tv once. :p

[Gitta Rensolo]

this is what I'm talking about....maybe you will even commit suicide...

[chuck kottke]

Or dream the impossible dream!:P
(but if you get stranded on a desert isle with 6 other castaways, it could be fun!):)

alone is the fact there's nobody else..
lonely is the feeling of be alone, you feel like there's nobody else, although there could be somebody.

so as lonely is more a feeling than a fact.... is ok to be alone if you are ok with it, and it doesn't mean you be bored... you can be alone in your home for ages but be entertained reading books. :thinking:
