Some people will say there's no difference between being alone & being lonely0

However, I'd like to hear from the ones who think that there's a difference.
So.....speak out your thoughts about it0

well in fact there is a difference btw being`` alone`` and being ``lonely``.
``alone`` determins the state of not being surrounded by people however ``lonely`` determins The Absence of someone to lean on like a friend,a lover...... 0 as simple as that.

lonely is wanting someone around.
alone can be just by yourself or it can be by yourself & you want someone around.

well good question
my opinon is.............when i call someone heshe's alone ,then heshe took hisher own choice to be alone coz  being alone have its advantages such as most of creative people are alone most of time ,they put limit for their social life so they can reach what are they seeking to (their achievements)....
but being lonly when someone feel that heshe unhappy or bored for no reason and restless,even heshe has hisher own activeties and social life , coz they think they cant get long or deal with their activities and their society so they will Search for an alternatives to be alone away from people ,,,,

I'm perfectly ok with the definition of Darkanubis. (see above)
En français, je dirai.. j'aime parfois être seule, c'est parfois nécessaire,  mais jamais je ne voudrais être isolée, esseulée. L'homme n'est pas fait pour vivre seul  :o))

That's a wonderful link there MetalmouN thank you!!!
 
According to Paul Tillich; loneliness expresses the Pain of being alone and solitude expresses the glory of being alone.
 
In other words; We're ALWAYS alone. Solitude can be a wonderful source of the self-being, and a state of self-discovery through communication with ourselves only...
 
Whereas lonely, Means the lack of communication with the other. And according to Karl Jaspers; "a Self-being is only real in communication with another self-being"
 
So I personally think that alone can be possitive indeed. Yet lonely is always negative.

im always lonely when i dont have cookies


it was not my choice, it was not my Voice that left you in the lonely void, you called for what I had to say but ignored my words now you must Live with the burns, had it been my way, you been healed in my arms but I dont control you but remember that I love you

I'll answer without reading other answers and read them later, so they can't influence my answer:

There is a HUGE difference, you can be surrounded by dozens of people and still to be lonely while when you are alone you can and do not have to feel lonely, alone is the description of the situation, while loneliness is the description of Mental situation.
