    No way. Human beings are social animals.

      What do you mean if loneliness is inevitable?

      I do like my alone time. In fact, I'm more of a loner than a person who needs constant social contact. But when I'm completely alone for extended periods of time it becomes unbearable and I feel like going crazy. That's when I need to interact with others from time to time. I'm unemployed at the moment, so I don't get to do much of that anymore.

      So all things in moderation.

    I can't speak for others, but I know I couldn't live without social interaction (aka sex). Lonliness doesn't suit me well.

    You can be alone and happy. But since loneliness is a painful longing for companionship, then being lonely and happy are probably mutually exclusive.

    no, it's impossible, we are social, if we live isolated from the rest of the world, we would be crazy, literally crazy, I study this in philosophy

    Well, if you can love and hate a person at the same time, you can also express unhappiness about some things and happy about other things at the same time.

    The saying, "Alone but not lonely," comes to mind.

    Lonely and happy? No. As others here have pointed out: If you are lonely you are not happy.
    Alone and happy? Yes, I believe so, for a short period of time, such as in taking a break. For an extended period -- I don't think so.

    No. Lonely is a state when being alone becomes about being without companion. However, it is perfectly doable to be alone and be happy. Not all people grave company enough to make them feel lonely. But once you _feel_ lonely you can't be happy.

    Thus, being lonely is a feeling and "lonely" cannot be defined as "being alone".

    Yes. that way you get your way about every thing in the house and dont have to share. But them i would go nuts not having any one to fuss with and I would gain a ton beause my son would not eat off my plate.
