Well that's what I have been saying all along, if you are happy being by yourself and enjoy your own company, then you will be happy also to be with others. Now if you are not happy being by yourself and you don't know how to enjoy your own company, then yo will NEED others to make you happy, but this happiness because you NEED others, isn't true happiness, its just insecurity.

I tend to think inner happiness only goes so far and is disturbed when the outer aspects are neglected, so I feel best to cultivate an inner sanctum and natural self expression, so alone time is healthy in conjuction with human interaction.

Yes that's true but I have to say that if your inner happiness doesn't last, well it wasn't true inner happiness in the first place. But I am really coming from an inner awareness or someone who can see that there is no one to be unhappy, the one who seems to be unhappy is just the ego, the true inner SELF can never be unhappy because it is pure happiness its SELF.

What does that mean? That the one who appears happy is something else from the one who appears sad? I never do understand these things anyway, but I feel happy and sad.

Yes the one who "appears" happy is something else, his happiness only last as long as what makes him happy continues. The one who truly knows happiness still can feel sadness but not because he is lacking happiness, but because sadness arises and sadness disappears, its there and its gone, there is no ownership. The one who is in Awareness knows that there is no one there to own happiness or sadness, there is just what IS, but because one now has realize this then life is lived without clinging to what one believes to be happiness, or even sadness. So you feel sadness and you feel happiness, that is all it is, it only become a problem when we take ownership and lose ourself within it.
