They way I interpret is you live your life for yourself. If you want to go to the gym and bulk up, you don't do it because you'll get girls, you're doing it to better yourself. No matter how much you feel connected to a person or people, you're always alone.
This is not to say that you help people out for the benefit of them returning the favour, it's not a selfish idea like that. It's more like you look after yourself first before worrying about others because ultimately they're not there to worry about you when you're born or when you die.
No regrets, you're your own person, free to do what you want. Not to be bound by another person's actions or resent the time lost or opportunities missed because of others. It sounds very self centered and discouraging from a relationship POV but you should never forget you're your own person and should do what you want - but never intentionally hurt anyone or anything.

Yet others may stay home most of the time, but have a belief that all things are connected. They may gaze at the stars and feel a connection. Seeing the big picture.
Or you may view the universe as hostile and impersonal.
All this stuff about loneliness is really a 'half full/half empty' mindset.

Most people are delivered by a team of nurses and have a family who care for them their whole lives until the day they die.
Life is only lonely if you make it so. You can be alone, but you don't have to be lonely.

Originally posted by The Noose View PostIts more than confidence. There are people who are confident, outgoing sociable people, but they always feel alone, especially in a crowd.
