Loneliness, I won't call it a phase, per se, yet, I've come to believe it is a common, devastating, human condition/feeling we all encounter, and the (fortunate?) among us eventually come to terms with, if not accept, then recognize and acknowledge it.

In the 1930s, Thomas Wolfe wrote an insightful essay about loneliness, "God's Lonely Man," which can be found in this digitized version of "The Thomas Wolfe Reader": http://www.survivorlibrary.com/library/thomas_wolfe_reader_1962.pdf
