Being lonely has two attributes: physical and mental. There is a difference in, "I am lonely" and "I am feeling loney." Only lonely people can understand this difference. The physical aspect of loneliness or "I feel lonely" is physical detachment of the body. You are alone. No physical presence is with you ,but your own. But once someone comes and talks to you you suddenly feel okay. That is an easy loneliness to get rid of unlike the emotional aspect or "I'm lonely." Being emotionally lonely is like being emotionally detached. You don't feel in tune with anyone. You actually feel more alone in the presence of others than not. When you feel alone in the presence of others you know you are truly alone. When you only feel comfort in your own presence you know you are far gone from the world. Being emotionally lonely is hard. You always feel like that even sometimes with the people that make you feel whole. The feeling always looms over you, pecking at you as if you were an open wound. You feel like you'll never truly get away, never truly live.
