What's the Difference Between Loneliness and Being Alone?

I'm used to being alone, and I always feel freer this way. It's more fulfilling. If there's a movie that interests me, I'll go see it alone. Traveling alone can happen on a whim, without having to discuss the time and destination with others, let alone consider other people's preferences.

Loneliness isn't a problem for me, and friends aren't a dependence. I know myself well enough to know what I want and what I enjoy. That's enough, and I'm very happy to know myself.

Only when a person lives a good life can they know what they need. Other people’s thoughts are just icing on the cake at most; there’s really no need to care too much about them.

There are many happy and lively moments in life, but there is also often loneliness that is not understood, just as there is day and night in the world.

Loneliness is a normal part of life. As human beings, you and I all need to face loneliness.

When you are alone, it is best to talk to your heart and be with your thoughts. Being alone is, in itself, a form of practice.

How a person treats themselves is how the world will treat them over time.

Life is a practice of constantly accepting and perfecting yourself. Only by reconciling with yourself again and again, facing your own shortcomings and strengths, and accepting your own abilities and situations, can you have a stronger heart.

Life is short, so instead of spending time trying to please others, you might as well use your time and energy to improve yourself.

Enjoy your solitude when you are alone. Use your time alone to develop your hobbies and build a garden for yourself where you won’t be disturbed.

I really like this sentence: "You should save some energy to study, exercise, love, and pursue the life you want. You should not waste your energy on painful social interactions or on people you hate. Things that seem salvageable are not worth it if you think about it carefully. Clinging to past happiness is doomed not to go far. Let the past go. While loving life, do some happy little things.
