just a random thought i had ....The most widely accepted definition of loneliness is the distress that one feels due to discrepancies between their ideal and perceived social relationships. An axiom in the study of human behavior is that we are highly social creatures that need to develop social connections in order to maintain a balanced lifestyle. Maybe it is this gap between these idealistic expectations and what our social life actually is. These may have been created due to societal pressures demanding us to be socialites when some of us lack the personality traits needed to be a social butterfly. While some of us are introverts (i believe is the right word) by nature and thus embrace the solitude, some of us cannot - resulting in isolation and this feeling of being disconnected, whether its for temporary periods or permanent.
