Do you ever get lonely?

Ever get lonely and need to be around people and if you have no one get depressed? I have family that helps me with the loneliness.

Yes, I do get lonely, but the odd thing is I love to be alone.  So, if I'm alone by choice then it's hard to complain about my loneliness.  Sounds like a bit of an conundrum huh?  And, like you, I tend to get depressed about being lonely, but since I like being alone and, in fact, choose to be alone a lot, I cheer up because I'm getting what I want and my depression subsides.  (Either that or my Prozac and Wellbutrin are doing a really good job!)

Oh, BTW, in the future if you ever get depressed because of being lonely, just reply to this post and I'll write back to try and cheer you up!

Who doesn't?!
I live far far away from my family (I live in US and I'm from Japan!) so I get lonely all the time. I miss my family and friends!
I have an awesome husband and a little girl who cheer me up though.

I'm not lonely here but I miss my family and friends! They are far away from here.
