To the best of my knowledge, I have never felt lonely or bored: am I mentally ill?

I think you are more right than wrong...his whole post cries for attention, you have to have some degree of loneliness to reach out like that! Seems like a denial of self. It has always amazed me at how unaware people are of themselves, usually diminishes some with age!
Learning who we are and facing who we really are is not easy. We humans are experts at denying what we don't want to admit or face. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Its a lifelong venture.

I spent over 6 weeks alone, camping in the mountains of California, never saw another person. I was never bored or lonely. I built my camp, started a garden, collected food from the woods. I was very alone. But not lonely. Plenty of free time, but never bored.
Some people think fishing is boring. Good, leaves more fish for me.

I would say this is just another disingenuous post on your part.
Everyone has felt lonely or bored in their lives - even if just for a short time. Denying it is either lack of awareness or simple dishonesty.

Okay. You may be right that there have been moments unremembered of brief loneliness or boredom. Yet the simple t***h is that you cannot possibly know this is true of me or anyone, just not your experience. But wh**ever. Let your baseless insinuations rule. Why do you h**e me so much?

I agree. Or you could take it as true honesty and concern. You made your choice.

Not baseless. From what I've seen you're not honest with yourself. And I don't h**e you so you can stop with that drama.

Ah, that could explain all of it.
The human animal is a social creature by genetic mandate. That means that loneliness is built into us by nature. If you honestly can say you have never experienced loneliness, the only possibility is that you are so into yourself that the rest of humanity is utterly peripheral to your emotional focus.

I wouldn't say that's mentally ill. Do it (be in the service well I was married in my forties) for close to 50 years and then you really start to wonder.

I have never felt jealousy. Envy, constantly.

We humans are "experts at denying what we don't want to admit or face," others are not but welcoming of the challenge. What is true for you is not true of everyone.

If you recall, I did say "to the best of my knowledge..." Just saying.You may not h**e me, that is questionable, but you frequently make highly negative comments about me. Coincidence?

Okay. There are always exceptions to the rule...except if you are on the Right.

I know what you said. Who knows why you aren’t honest.
