Loneliness was cited as the number 1 fear in many surveys. So much so that people rather be left on an island with their worst enemy than to be there alone.

I'm lonely most of the time. Indeed it eats up your soul, mind and body. But let's just put it in another perspective... Let's just say we came alone and die alone. So we should learn to deal with loneliness. I'm not that successful at it, but just some pointers to share...

1. You have more time and space to think when you are alone. Just be sure not to dwell in negativity but trend towards positivity and spend the time mapping out your life goals and roadmap.

2. If it's esteem of others or recognition from others, how about you focus first on becoming someone (self esteem) and likely your entourage and fans will eventually swamp you..

3. Loneliness and been alone is two different thing. Learn to differentiate them.
