Real loneliness is not necessarily limited to when you are alone.

Real loneliness is not necessarily limited to when you are alone.

Charles Bukowski

Real, Loneliness

I've never been lonely. I've been in a room... I've felt suicidal, I've been depressed. I've felt awful ... awful beyond all , but I never felt that one other person could enter that room and cure what was bothering me...or that any number of people could enter that room. In other words, loneliness is something I've never been bothered with because I've always had this terrible itch for solitude.

Charles Bukowski (2012). “The Pleasures of the Damned: Selected Poems 1951-1993”, p.222, Canongate Books

I was a man who thrived on solitude; without it I was like another man without food or water. Each day without solitude weakened me. I took no pride in my solitude; but I was dependent on it. The darkness of the room was like sunlight to me.
