Alone(p): lacking companions or companionship; "he was alone when we met him"; "she is alone much of the time"; "the lone skier on the mountain"; "a lonely fisherman stood on a tuft of gravel"; "a lonely soul"; "a solitary traveler". If you are alone, and perfectly fine with that, then is it much better than spending time with others and feeling alone; if you are in the company of others, and feel lonely/alone, then mentally you are feeling seperate from others, and maybe even excluded. If you constantly spennd time with others, this seperate mentally will just be highlighted, and enforced. Side: Alone

OK, so you don't nesisarily have to be alone to be lonley. Sycalogical stastisctics show that people that have other people around them to support do better. You need people around you for every thing. I would rather be lonley because if you are alone that is just - horrible. Besides, if you are christian you are never alone or lonley. Side: Lonely
If you're lonely when in the presence of others, then you, mentally, feel isolated and cut off from the rest which only serves to highlight your loneliness. For example: there's a guy who's feeling lonely whilst in the company of his friends. He is feeling lack companions/hip whilst with others - the interaction with just serve to highlight and worsen his loneliness, especially if he is feeling that the people around him are excluding him. Sometimes interactions just don't help. Also, don't bring religion into this. Side: Alone
