I Didn 't A Lone Wolf

“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside... Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be”(Anne Frank). In the story, “Diary of a Young Girl”, by Anne Frank, Anne is a young Jewish girl who has to flee into hiding during the Holocaust and writes in her diary about what goes on. At the beginning Anne is sociable, but as the war progresses she becomes lonely. Therefore I believe that loneliness can change a person.

Differentiating from attention seeking to isolation, loneliness has numerous factors. However, people have various ways in showing that they’re lonely even if words aren’t spoken. It can be shown verbally, physically and emotionally. During the course of the novel, countless circumstances were revealed. Whether it were in the characters that were talked today, to the characters like Lennie, and George, almost all of the characters in the book had a sense of loneliness in them. Some people may discover that picking fights with people is how they’ll deal with solitude. On the other hand people may look for the extra attention to consume their feelings of aloneness. Like said at the beginning, being lonely can both be good and bad. Someone may be able to become more successful in life alone, or another may need the help of others to become successful. Everybody’s different in their own way, and everyone has their own way of dealing loneliness. It comes and goes and sometimes people are hit harder than others. Feeling lonely is a natural obstacle everyone must overcome, it’ll be a long way down the road, but it’ll all be worth it in the

“The Virtues of Isolation”, written by Brent Crane, states that under the right circumstances being alone can provide significant psychological help. The article stated that scientists often associate isolation with negative outcomes due to it having adverse effects on the minds of children. However, when it is voluntarily pursued, it can be shown to have significant befits—some would even say its therapeutic. That temporarily isolating yourself gives you a chance to take a step back and take a good look at yourself. It alleviates the stress on our everyday lives and lets us relax. That the difference between solitude as therapy and solitude as misery depends on the quality of self-reflection that a person experiences, and the ability to reintegrate into social groups when their ready.

I was a very shy kid. Making friends wasn’t my cup of tea when I was younger. Based on this you can imagine how nervous I was when we moved. Joseph Campbell wrote in The Hero With a Thousand Faces, “It is only when a man tames his own demons that he becomes the king of himself if not of the world.” I was preparing to start school again in August when I decided it would be smart to begin associating with kids my age in the area; so, I began spending time with my cousin Lief. After spending some time with Lief, he introduced me to some of his friends and taught me to how to appreciate

Oftentimes, people confuse loneliness with the state of being alone. When looking at the overall big picture, it is easy to forget that loneliness is temporary. People are not alone because even back in primitive times, they bore a natural instinct to strive for companionship in order to survive. Human imagination creates companions in cases of extreme loneliness which contradicts the state of being alone. Due to societal and family standards, others in society make it practically impossible to be alone. Mankind often goes through life without realizing the overwhelming amount of human contact and support. People are never alone, they are just simply

“Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for” (Dag Hammarskjold). Loneliness is a scary thing. As a child, I was very shy and timid and I suffered from it. My life was sheltered by my parents and I desperately wanted a sibling. Along with my parents, the private school I had gone to all my life never gave me the experience of stranger interaction. The thought of starting a conversation with someone I have never met made me drench in sweat. I dreaded the day of going to a public high school. Never in my dreams would I have imagined how it would affect my life and mold me into the person I am today.

I couldn’t go to school, and almost failed the fifth grade. After just moving in, leaving all of my friends, I didn’t have the opportunity to make new friends. I am not a person that is OK with not having friends in an unfamiliar area. I wanted to have friends; I wanted to be able to invite people to my birthday party, but my body had other things in mind. Because of Lyme’s Disease, I developed Exercise-Induced Asthma, I broke my back, I will always be deficient in every vitamin, and I will go down at my old school as “the girl that was never here.”

The punishment for bad behavior in correctional institutions usually is that of solitary confinement, forcing the individual to not having any interactions between his peers. Although not causing any physical trauma to the inmate, the act of isolating them from everyone and everything proves to be the most feared method of punishment. A primarily social species, humans crave the interaction between themselves and others, relying on them for not only comfort and validation, but also to escape the fear that can be created from ones own mind. The film Pontypool uses such an idea, isolation the protagonists from direct knowledge of ongoings that threaten the world around them, depriving them of any sense of security and creating a far darker reality mentally than what could theoretically exist.

I got bullied a lot so that kind of stopped people from wanting to talk to me in the first place. When they did they saw a weird anti-social kid that wasn’t fun to be around or maybe that’s how I see myself reflecting on everything. Can’t say much about that has changed though. When I did get friends I had a problem where I’d get overly attached to them; as a result you could’ve insulted me every day and I’d still call you my friend. I think it was my want for one with the fact I was really, really dense;consequently most of the people I met weren’t great people to be around and a lot had some sort of bad habits, I still always had a book with me as once again an escape from my at least how I saw it sad and boring life in

Nobody chooses to be lonely, it is a human need to have people around. Crooks says on page 69, “‘A guy needs somebody - to be near him.’ ” If you isolate yourself, you will become crazy, or feel very disconnected from the world. Curley’s wife also thinks that people need to be around other people when she says, “‘Well, I ain’t giving you no trouble. Think I don’t like to talk to somebody ever’ once in awhile?

Not only does it increase the risk for suicide, but he said it ties to hardening of the arteries, inflammation in the body, and problems with memory and learning. He also proved that loneliness results in an early death. He did an experiment with flies, and the ones that had contact with others lived longer than the ones that were isolated. This shows just how important communication with others is. Isolation isn’t just a problem in Of Mice and Men, but a big problem seen in older adults. A New York Time article showed a survey that Dr. Perissinotto did in 2012 about isolated older adults. He reported that 43% of 1,604 adults over 60 felt lonely, and the ones that admitted feeling lonely had significantly higher health issues, and even resulted in death the next 6

During the times that I was spending my time alone I felt completely friendless and without acquaintances. I eventually became used to it and it was not so bad. When I did end up in a group like Leper did with Gene, Finny, Chet, and Bobby, I felt better about myself. I also met a new girl in my grade who was always by herself. I felt bad and began to talk to her. She would not force herself on anyone and was really quiet and shy and would stay by herself if needs be. She was really excited to make new friends and we hit it right off. A body can be peaceful, being alone to revel in their own version of entertainment, but still with a group of pals. This is one specific peace that can fill a person. There are so many more and a couple of other categories were demonstrated through the writing, each showing in a different main character.

To be lonely is an easy thing, being alone is another matter entirely. To understand this, first one must understand the difference between loneliness and being alone. To be alone means that your are not in the company of anyone else. You are one. But loneliness can happen anytime, anywhere. You can be lonely in a crowd, lonely with friends, lonely with family. You can even be lonely while with loved ones. For feeling lonely, is in essence a feeling of being alone. As thought you were one and you feel as though you will always be that way. Loneliness can be one of the most destructive feelings humans are capable of feeling. For loneliness can lead to depression, suicide, and even to raging out and hurting friends and/or

     I didn’t have that many close friends in high school. I always was just kind of there. I was no one important. Everyone seems to have his or her place in this world of high school and it seemed that my place was on the outside that I

Loneliness seems to have become a common characteristics that individuals share around the world. Although this is a subject that has been a part of discussions and a focus of research for many years in philosophy , theology, psychology and literature, the scientific study has had a relatively short record. In this day and age there have
