In Reply to: Alone, Solitude, Loneliness posted by Brian C. on December 08, 1999 at 21:02:38:
: I perceive myself as lonely when I am disconnected from myself for various reasons. : Solitude is a pleasant state when I am alone with myself and enjoy my company. : Alone is a state where I have set myself apart from others, physically, mentally, philosophically, etc. : I am not a 4 and am guessing, but, if relationships and connecting are important. : perhaps 4s are more aware of the missing ideal resonance and connectedness than : I, a nine, experience. By this, I mean, to me lonely is unpleasant for me : but involves me not others (unless I let them-codependent like.) I wonder if : the relational disconnect/self disconnect is more deeply felt/experienced by : 4s. : I do not wonder who I am or where am I going. I only chide myself for lack : of discipline. If something is not happening, I see the circumstances as : a result of my ennui, or a form of Kismet to which I adapt. I am not aware : of a sense of loss/missing something when I have no one with whom to share. : My point is that I suspect 4s have a unique burden because of the realtional : awareness, the felt experience plus the awareness of what is missing (what could be.) : Threes are unaware. Twos repress. Other types have head and gut concerns. : I think 4ws are right: "no body knows the troubles I have felt." : (nor the joys.)
