I see things a little bit like this
When you are alone you are not alone, you are simply lonely - and there is a tremendous difference between loneliness and aloneness. When you are lonely you are thinking of the other, you are missing the other.
Loneliness is a negative state. You are feeling that it would have been better if the other were there - your friend, your wife, your mother, your beloved, your husband. It would have been good if the other were there, but the other is not. Loneliness is absence of the other.
Aloneness is the presence of oneself. Aloneness is very positive. It is a presence, overflowing presence. You are so full of presence that you can fill the whole universe with your presence and there is no need for anybody.
Osho The Discipline of Transcendence, Volume 1 Chapter 2
I am not saying, at any time, that this is the truth. Not at all. I don't prentend to make you see things the way I do. Is just that sometimes these words are good for me. I have been more aware of things... specially when the only thing I want to do is close my eyes and just run away.

Por cierto, no se confundan, Trent Reznor (NIN) NO ES el AlterRoRRo. No se dejen engañar por los paréntesis y la letra pequeñita.
