Why Am I so Afraid of Solitude ?

[TheGod]

The more I live on this planet the more I realize that society is toxic, most of the people are unconscious robots and living around them adds significant spiritual challenges. Unconsciousness takes you ever and you behave like a robot as well, moreover, you truly believe that it is normal. 

Anyways, I'm very ambivalent about my desire to quite society when I am 40 (I'm always 30). I am not talking about living in the woods with bears and wolfs but rather in a small village with just a few people (but not too far from a big city). This desire comes from my god self that wants to realize itself. On the other hand I am very much afraid of doing so. I've developed so many identities and now it seem terrifying to me to leave all of it and go for God. Although, I am very doubtful I could deep God-realizations just by doing it but it will definitely bring me more piece of mind (although there will be more problems anyways). 

Question for you is this: do you think God is afraid of loneliness? Does God have a need for other?

You came here to try out separation and isolation by building walls and fleaing into solitude. It is misery. Reason is, it is impossible. Your task is to re-graft yourself back onto the wholeness that you actually are. You see everyone as flawed and fearsome, No. You are wrong. Your perspective needs to  change. They need forgiving. That's how you get healing. Everyone is you carrying out scripts that you gave them to try to pretend you all have separate interests. You don't. You have a shared interest. Returning to unity and happiness. You cannot exclude anyone else you have excluded everyone, just like you feel about yourself right now.

Humans are social beings, without the hive we are nothing, language and conceptual thought comes from the relationship with others. A human is a part, then solitude use to be sad except for some people very special and not necessarily spiritual.

in my experience, god in its purest form is Nothingness, which has no needs, desires, no qualities. but everything arises inside of it, including the desire for another, loneliness, love, bliss.

all of these are temporary and you decide which ones you abide in. if you cling to loneliness loneliness becomes your reality. but you decide for yourself. you truly are god. heaven and hell are within you. if you accept loneliness, embrace it and let it go, there is no loneliness. acceptance equals love. in this way, love is the truest aspect of god next to nothingness

personally i have never experienced the loneliness aspect of God. But I have experienced Gods' desire for non existence which i think is more scary. But that too is also just a temporary arising withing Nothingness/consciosuness, which doesnt affect it in the slightest. theres a freedom knowing your true nature is eternally untouched

@TheGod We call ourselves Human Being, there are two aspects to this..

Human is social, procreation, desire being fulfilled mostly on the Survival or Accumulation level, more People, Places, Things, Experiences, Accomplishments Gathered over time to make one feel a sense of Doing/Having and Fulfilment!

Then there is Being, Being is Absolute, God, Brahman, and such Spiritualistic terms, its Oneness, Completeness, Connectedness, Peace/Bliss and Knowing, this is what the Spiritual Path is about, having these Experiences and becoming One/Absolute/God within Yourself.

We can choose which level to live on as this is our basic Human Quality and Capability, which most do not explore but we can if we choose too..

Your afraid of Solitude because Your identity is most Human Based, Humans need Humans to survive better and fulfill social needs and such, if You really want to explore the Being aspect of it then Solitude and proper environments (like Ashrams) are needed to get away from the need to Survive another day and continue the Accumulation process..
