I think Being alone is quite enjoyable until I am alone, then I am lonely, why is that?

Being alone and being lonely are two totally different things. If you are alone and get bored, try a hobby or call a friend. If you are lonely, that is a different matter. Still you might try getting out and doing something and maybe meeting some new friends to have dinner with, see a movie, etc.

not everyone fills their life with animals if they live alone, heck some people love being alone and don't even like animals, but for the  rest of us its just  human nature to  have some one or some thing to love, take care of protect and share life with..loneliness propels many to fill that void...for many it gives them a reason to live and find joy in life... think how depressed these people would be if they were totally alone ...scientifically it has been proved that people thrive with affection  , touching and  love and wither without it.

you are happy with those around u but not with yourself. Spend some time alone getting to know the real U.

You are the only one who can decide if your own life is fulfilling.  It you are happy with the way you are living, then don't worry about it.  If, on the other hand, you are unhappy or lonely, then force yourself to join groups, volunteer, or go out by yourself.  If you do something you are interested in, you'll find new friends and new hobbies that will interest you even more. Good luck!

i completely understand. i have the same problem. i think you have to be happy. just because there are people around doesn't mean you can't be lonely. like something is missing and you're not quite sure what sometimes. doctors sometimes help but i think it's all something that can be worked on by ourselves it just may take awhile. i'm sure this isn't really an answer but at least you know you're not alone in this aspect :)

I AM better off being alone. Until things change in my life, that is the way I prefer it to stay. Not cynical, just the plain truth.

I am a loner at heart also. I don't mind being in social situations, I just find that people tend to piss me off. I find that i would rather spend my time on the internet, playing with my dogs, cooking, or watching tv. I do like to have dinner parties though. I find that if small groups of one to three people are the best way to have fun. But i would rather sit at home alone then go out to a bar or club.

Funny, because this is one of the things I feel strongly about!  I'd rather be alone, because I don't hate being alone, at all.  If I'm going to have someone in my life they have to be an asset, a plus, a positive.  Otherwise I have no use.  :) Girlpower!! hehehe

Be by yourself for awhile.

Some people feel very much alone when ignored by their boyfriend or girlfriend.  They feel like they are not loved or liked and taken for granted sometimes.  It is as if they do not exist and it is a very lonely feeling.  I would rather be alone period than experience loneliness in a relationship because it is twice as bad since you care about someone but they don't care about you and it makes you lonely and empty and inside.

I felt the same after I left a relationship that wasn't making me happy.  Sometimes you miss being single if you're with someone who isn't right for you.  Glad to hear you didn't stay in the relationship just to be with somebody.  Too many people would rather be unfulfilled in a relationship rather than be happy being single.  And when you're happy being single, you'll attract other happy people.  Then who knows what could happen?  Good going.  You'll do well in life, my friend.

Loneliness will give you the opportunity to see things in a different perspective. Seeing yourself in solitude will surely tell you that "No Man is an Island". For the absence of the things we think do not matter will make us realize that they are afterall important.

I love spending time on my own occasionally.\nIt is one of the best ways for me to relax, being along in my apartment, listen to music and just do day-dreaming.\nOf course, I would not want to be on my own for a long time or forever.
