Time for late night deep talk. Cause why not, have a seat.

Lonely and being alone. Is there a difference? I like to think so personally. Being alone can be a request, or unintentional. Sometimes its just the nature of the task. Nobody should be, but its not always negative.

Being lonely in my experience is never requested. Its the absence of people against your will. A sad feeling. And a good portion of the time, its up to someone else to fix that.

Being alone can be a request, and can be fixed anytime by the individual.
Being lonely is never a request.

Thats just my take on it.
