Can people get used to loneliness? How can people get used to it? What can they do? Since one of the theme of the poem, I wandered as a cloud. I want to hear opinions about whether people can get used to it.
I personally think that people can get used to anything as they have enough time to get used to something new. People can find something to do that will distract themselves from the painful truths of being alone.

I gues if you were in a situation where you were just born to be alone, you would be lonely but would not even notice. And those people who choose to live alone will definitely feel left out and alone, but they just live along by themselves... So if you just try not to think about it..

Although this is uncommon, I have seen a few of people in my life who feel comfortable and easy being alone. It may be their living condition or circumstances, which made them independent being alone. But if you spent majority of your life being with other people, it will be extremely hard to become used to loneliness.

I think people won't be able to get used to loneliness. If this was possible than now there won't be huge social structures. I think people cannot be used to loneliness so they make groups and be friends to each other.

I think that people can't get used to loneliness. Feeling lonely in the first place suggests that one desires companionship, therefore the case in which one prefer isolation can't be applied. So left with one who desires for companionship. The closest one can get from getting used to loneliness would be to give up trying. Since this person desires companionship, one won't easily change one's viewpoint. omg…. kk never mind… i change my mind.. i think one is capable of getting used to loneliness, since some people can learn to enjoy being alone. Sometimes being alone isn't the worst thing ever :3 one gets to enjoy everything for one's self, one won't need to sacrifice for others, one won't need to think as much regarding others~

I agree with Jisu that if people endure or bear some things for too long, they will eventually get used to it. However, if the thing is bad such as loneliness, I think they would easily forget it if they are having the happiness of being in the society.

I don't think a person can get to loneliness because it's nothing something you get or try used to. People have to be born to loneliness in order to feel comfortable, matter of fact if a lonely person would be introduced to a social life he or she won't feel comfy being lonely. It's all about where you grow up and it can always be overcome, but one thing for sure no person can ever get used to loneliness, but that's just my opinion.

I personally think no. The reason why is because I cannot get use to it. If I lived lonely, I would try to survive, but I would try to find other people. That doesn't mean I got use to it.

I think people can get used to loneliness because I have seen few people who are more comfortable when they are alone. Those people might be an exception, but I still think that people can get used to loneliness depending on their environment.

I think people try to get used to being alone by pretending that they have invisible friends so they actually give comfort to themselves by practicing talking to no one else while they are actually by themselves.

I think it is a yes and no. Like fear and other emotions we have, loneliness I think can be overcome, but not completely erased. However, as James said when a person was born alone and continues to live alone, than that person will feel no loneliness because he or she would have never met a person to interact with. thus, I think that this is a very hard question to find a definite yes or no.

I think human can be used to loneliness. When I newly arrived to USA, everything was strange and awkward to me. Because there were no friends I've ever met, at first I was really lonely and felt isolated. However, as the time passes I got used to this loneliness and no longer felt the loneliness as strange thing.
