Hmmm... Yeah, I can see the distinction between the two ("alone" vs. "lonely").

Talking to himself etc.

(10,039 posts)5. More like lonely.
And talking to oneself isn't "insane."

(13,324 posts)6. I agree with both statements. And I have that habit myself.
Maybe I didn't express myself so well, but I guess I meant something more like "driven crazy by loneliness."

It was interesting. It mostly explained how being lonely and alone are two different things, and that it can shorten your life, but it does not necessarily make you have mental health problems. Some people are more in need of social contact than others and so on.

For me it's kinda damned-if-I-do-damned-if-I-don't in a way, because both a lack of human contact and excessive human contact can make me a little crazy. Somewhat surprisingly (to me) I do have a fair number of close friends, but I'll often go weeks or months without seeing some of them despite living close by.
