I never assume that.................now I can be lonely in a crowded room, but enjoy my own company.

But someone who hates being alone might assume being alone means just that.................friendless and lonely.

A personal opinion is just that I think.............personal to the one person who says it.

must say I don't mind being alone either - found it hard after OH died but really have become quite used to it now and given a choice think I would prefer it - well me and my pussy cat anyway.

I have a family and am certainly not alone. I do like some time to myself and talking to others on t'internet is one way I use that time. I have virtual 'friends' all over the place and we talk about a vast array of subjects. I reckon the really alone person may well be the one who made the remark. ;)

another thread....

Why is it assumed that to be alone (whether one is on on GR or not lol) is to also be lonely...sad...friendless... or generally have something 'missing' in life?

I can be with people or alone and enjoy both..I like being alone , with time to think ( not that it happens often lol) .
