"This terrible itch for solitude"
Half a second into the video, I knew it would enamor me beyond measure and find a way into my heart. And it did.

being lonely isn't the worst feeling, but being surrounded by people who make you feel alone is

[angelnunn]

Feeling lonely isn't about not having people around, but Instead about not being understood by others. Which is why some of us, like to be alone.

Wonderful video by the way, very insightful. I look forward to seeing more from you.

Gosh this is perfect. Loneliness is the only feeling that doesn't bothers me anymore. I had made a peace with it....
Better be alone than to surrounded by ppl who don't understand you.

When I found Mr. Bukowski, I immediately felt comfort. Finally another person I could relate to. Thank you Mr. Bukowski.

Loneliness for me is feeling left out. I'd never dealt with it but now as I grow up theres this weird; a hollow like space in my heart; which bothers me. I feel uneasy and just prefer to be alone at that time. I feel like that chair at home which is everybody's favourite. Everyone uses it and the moment it is damaged, it is left all alone.

Loneliness steals nothing from others ... it gives back energy for those who think they need company...

[somamandal]

This man made loneliness appealing to the souls that never really fit the mould of society!

The only person that can make Bukowski better…. Is you. Thank you🙏

The room is quiet now
The only sound is my heartbeat
Loneliness is here.

Bukowski gives words to some of my deepest feelings

This poem is so me. I love it. Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem.

Bukowski is back! I think loneliness is not being interested in all the things that excite others and because I don't feel their joy or enthusiasm I feel like reclusing. I wouldn't say this bothers me now but I have had years in the past where I felt this strongly.

I've never experienced the feeling of loneliness, nor have I been afraid of it. But it has left me with quite the problem of feeling incomplete when I'm not with myself but with others. I enjoy the company of myself and others, yes. But it is not the same, and it'll never be the same. And that, sometimes, makes me extremely sad.

Isolation is my cure for loneliness, its the moment i start to think of being with outhers, is whene i feel the most alone.

[Shakshiesque]

This man has my heart. I've never felt any other writer like I feel Mr. Bukowski.

[fulgore]

Being around people and feeling alone. Being alone and feeling alone. It's disconnection from the self.

“There’s a bluebird in my heart” C.B.
The cure to depression is embracing the pain and knowing that it’s apart of the human condition. We are broken creatures and that’s okay. We must never stop being being ourselves cracks an all. Stay alive my friends and save a beer for me, wherever you may be.

He changed the poem a little bit but it's still just as powerful. The first time I read this poem was the first time I felt understood.
