Honestly. I find it hard to balance loneliness and wanting to mingle with friends.

Sometimes you want that companionship, and sometimes you want that lone moment. Only a few people understand

This days a guy in mid 20s. I find myself paying for companionship.
wtf bro u need help seriously

Dude u don't have friends at all abi wetin

Did the husbands value the wives in those cases or is this that the woman should do for the man what the man refused to do for her? huh

Seems you're mostly talking about self-care

Which is very healthy

Like they say on the planes, you need to take your oxygen first before you can share with anyone else...

P.S. That part about you and your wife no follow sha...
Thank you for enlightening me o. Me I sha know I'm not lonely even though I'm a complete introvert.

I have few friends, I hardly go out (apart from work) and you can hardly find me in anywhere there's a loud music playing. I feel comfortable staying at home all week.

Someone once told me that there's a thin line between being an introvert and being lonely. I just want to be sure.

It's like the OP forgot that some of us experienced nine months of loneliness in our momma's womb. Yet, we didn't die. cheesy cheesy

On a more serious note, me I enjoy being lonely o. I hate loud noises. I just like to be home alone enjoying my life.

Whenever I'm on leave or I have a break from work, I'll be home all week without even stepping outside.

Watching seasonal movies, reading books, playing PS4, disturbing the feminists on nairaland and knacking my wife on a steady. I don't know if these count as loneliness though...

U don't sound lonely u even get wife sef

But stop disturbing feminists

Nigerians don't die from loneliness, it's the whites. Nigerians die from poverty and diseases. We don't even see loneliness as a problem.

I personally enjoy being lonely, but you might be hurting yourself internally and you don't know.. reason you see some people growing grey hair from over thinking . Unfortunately you need a woman as a guy cos you can't be talking to a man .. it's finding that woman that's a challenge bcuz you really don't want one that stress you , you need your peace of mind.

First, there is no truth to this! Second, male loneliness has been thoroughly researched and found to be linked to the many delusions that most men hold regarding their gender identity.

Bros, I know some friends who are married and are still lonely o. It was through their experiences that I learnt that marriage doesn't really guarantee companionship unless one finds the right partner.

My point is that I'm an indoor person. Being married or not, I like being alone in my own space and in my fantasy world. Right from childhood, I hardly go out. I'll be home all day reading books and watching T.V. It's partly why I don't attend parties, I hate noise or crowd. And guess what? It's not like I'm a shy person o. I dey talk pass radio self. cheesy cheesy

PS- disturbing nairaland feminists is a hobby for me. That one go hard to stop o. cheesy cheesy

Marriage IS NOT A CURE for loneliness! Studies show that a great number of lonely men are married with children and grandchildren in many cases. Loneliness is a mental illness that can be overcome, in many cases, by taking a step out of oneself, something many men find very, very difficult to do. undecided

What exactly is this loneliness that is actually affecting people this badly?

I can stay on my own all alone with little human contact for more than one month

And I actually prefer it like that

But then again, some people cannot just do without human contact, I guess...

Loneliness can not kill anyone rather depression will. Most of these publications are misleading.

This isn't about making me feel better, but raising the alarm about something that has been silently killing men for a long time now. It is time we make changes to how we raise our boys and approach men in society as a whole. And the change needs to start with men as well. undecided

No, but seriously, extroverts forced to live Isolated lives due to circumstances are dying here and there like rats.
You're right!

It only applies to extroverts.

Introverts live better when they are lonely.
Re: 871,000 Die From Loneliness Every Year – WHO by Love800(m): 7:42pm On Jun 30, 2025
I love being quiet with my life. Isolating myself is my thing(i dont interact with humans at all), except when ofcourse in my work place talking just business only.

When depression(the type that comes from loneliness) starts setting in, i have many activities to surround myself with to minimise the internal craziness/soul draining!

Staying all by yourself isn't for the faint hearted. But i nor get choice because dis was how i grew up from childhood!

My brother, I understand you...


But I still think it's on anyone if they can't "live with themselves in a world with so many people"....

Gods help me.... I just almost forgot to say it's not even necessary to be social. Humans can live in isolation. You just don't even need to know how....

I'm using my own self as a standard again... Smh


Unless they're talking about the yang and yins, nobody should tell me about anything else
