Should We Fear A Lonely Life? The Age of Loneliness

Yes, C50, I totally agree, I prefer being alone too, you learn to adjust and to appreciate the quietness and solitude.

@Pepper, I do think animals grief when they lose another pet. It is heart breaking to watch them go thru the house looking for their friend. They don't understand why they are gone. I am sure Buffy is really sad. As goofy as it sounds, my little girl dog was beside her self when we lost our other dog.

I was not ready but a friend found a rescue of similar breed and I adopted him. At first they were stand offish but now they are the best of friends.

@Blessed you are so right. And it is especially difficult when a pet is taken for euthanasia and the other pet doesn't know what happened. When we euthanized Toby, Andy became very needy and somewhat lost. He perked up when we adopted Bugsy, like he couldn't wait to have another buddy in the house. I've shown this pic many times, but this says it all. Andy is the Tabby.

I don't fear loneliness; I fear boredom. One day, I won't be able to do the things I like to do. I won't be able to use a table saw or drill because of bad eyesight or perhaps my hands will shake so bad, I won't be able to cut a straight line. That would suck. I might have to become an internet troll or something.

Let me give it a try...

The pandemic is just a hoax! Take vitamin R and it will cure all that ails you! We live in a dictatorship because we can't call sex workers "whores!"

Naaa... that's no fun. Maybe I'll write a book... It was a dark and stormy night...
 

I don't fear being alone because being lonely has become a way of life for me. I have no family that I stay in contact with, but I do have some friends that have their own families where they put much of their time into, as they should.
