Thank you for a lovely question! The opposite of lonely is what I
very often experience in Open Space. This theme also resonates to
much of what we talked about on the OS Hotline today.<br>
<br>
I must confess to have used an internet thesaurus to answer your
question. <a href="http://www.thesaurus.com/">http://www.thesaurus.com</a>.
In English at least, some opposites of lonely are (the emphasis in
bold is my own):<br>
<br>
* populated<br>
* <b>sociable</b><br>
* befriended <br>
* <b>close</b><br>
* frequented<br>
* inhabited <br>
* <b>loved</b><br>
* unlonely <br>
<br>
Warm Regards,<br>
Harold<br>

<br>
<br>
For work that I'm doing that has nothing to do with OS... because
there are a lot of people on this list who are multi-lingual I
hope that you will forgive me for asking an off topic question.
<br>
<br>
For those who have a mother tongue (father tongue?) that is not
English.... Does your language have a word that is the opposite
of "lonely"?
<br>
<br>
Feel free to respond to me off list..
