I'm going to have to check it out. Although I don't really agree entirely with "when you're lonely is exactly when you need to be alone". I have been alone for almost 5 years. I still get lonely. I know the feeling will pass so I work through it. I also have lots of friends I'll go hang out with. But to say I never feel lonely, that's completely inaccurate. And I don't think that's an indication that I shouldn't be in a relationship.

IDK I think loneliness is a void in yourself and if you try to fill it with someone else - you will always be unsuccessful at every truly getting RID of loneliness. I think you have to find a way to fill that void with yourself in order to be whole. That's my opinion though.

Oh yay! A new time suck!

I loved living alone and it helped show me what I needed in a long term, live in partner. The quote is so right on.

Isn't that what the quote is saying though? That when you have a true feeling of loneliness it is because there is something you have to work on by yourself?

That is how I read it

I guess we have different opinions on what alone is.

You have not been alone.  You moved to not be alone.

doglove - Gotcha!

Yeah getting lonely from time to time and being truly lonely are different IMO.
