Kind of my feeling as well, just don't let too many see you talking to yourself.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - You can talk to yourself as long as you don't get any responses back! LMBO!

MAJ Ken Landgren I could not agree more. It is easy to get lost in a crowd. For me, those times are intentional - if I am lost in a crowd then I don't need to talk to anyone...still alone! Thank you MAJ Ken Landgren

Interesting question that I'm really not equipped to answer. I've never been alone in my life but have been around many that are. Most that I've known seek out companionship and interaction with others, but can understand that people with other issues, such as many vets, simply can't easily do that. There are so many causes of depression that I'm not sure you can single out loneliness alone as a main factor, a contributing factor for sure though.
