Loneliness is a bipolar affair to have. Initially everything seems alien and you starts doing strange things. Chewing your nails and scratching the scalp incessantly, you unsuccessfully keep on trying to figure out what and why things are not as per desired. Veins don't carry requisite blood to Head. Doctor prescribes strangely named and awfully tasting medicines. You starts ignoring calls and invitation for party from your friends by giving stupid reasons. Self introspection yields nothing. Smoking and boozing don't relieve the tension. Your eyes don't fall on girls. You no more are obsessed with India-Pakistan cricket match. You consider it disappointment and any wise guy would term it as depression. By the time you realise whether it is disappointment or depression, you have lost almost 20-25% of your hairs.

Positive side:

Loneliness is soothing. Yours time is your only. You do a lot of exercise and diet is full of fruits, nuts and non-oily foods. You develop interest in exploring stuff which you couldn't decipher in past. Editorials and writings of intelligentsia becomes your favourite pastime. You begin to see opportunities at every corner around you. Interest in childhood habits begins to revive. Imitation of other's habits becomes a subject of past and you no more are envied with other's success. Logical/rational thinking starts to develop and attitude changes for positive.

Loneliness may arrive unexpectedly or by choice. Focus should be to bypass the negative phase ASAP when you are alone by destiny. Those who choose to immerse themselves in loneliness should focus on positive aspect of its.  That is what everybody has experienced and preached. One of my friend once remarked "Bro! Loneliness always provides you a lot of stuff. Just identify and en-cash it".
