Loneliness and being alone
Thanks for the comments. I don't equate being alone with being lonely, and I think everyone experiences loneliness sometimes, even with people around. I think I must have seemed to need reassurance, when really I was hoping to open up a dialog about an emotion that's hard for a lot of people to admit to and talk about.
The advice seems to imply that one *should* do something about loneliness when it occurs -- but we don't act on every single one of our other emotions (thank goodness). I think that loneliness is somehow scary in a very primal sense.
