message: This page seems to just lead into a description of the importance of solitude to Buddhist monks. It never explicitly says this, and so is highly suspect. Fuzzform 03:36, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  page about buddhist beliefs regarding solitude? 

message: You seem at home with this subject, and have made a good start. You might consider adding sections on the other religious traditions' views on solitude.  for instance, there is a long history of Christian reclusives.  Thomas Merton is a very approachable example of the Christian monk. Marsha Sinetar, in her book, "Ordinary People as Monks and Mystics" makes a very strong case for secular solitude. The Taoists were often said to be found, "Cloud hidden, whereabouts unknown".  And perhaps you could discuss solitude as a part of the day, rather than a vocation, for instance people who work instensively with people for a living (social workers, prison guards, teachers) but choose to live alone at home to "recharge theier batteries".  Keep up the good work! Soltera 18:45, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there any justification for inclusion of a link to the Sole Satisfier== article? I can't see that it has anything to do with this article.--RLent (talk) 18:29, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Sole Satisfier]] link

message: This article is unnecessarily negative. There is no mention of solitude as a prerequisite for artistic effort, as a source of comfort or as a way to reduce stress.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.93.220.49 (talk) 04:00, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I just added some positive material. More is needed. It is strange how the Wikiquote page is all positive and Wikipedia page (was) all negative on solitude. N6n (talk) 15:26, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  The very first paragraph states "It may stem from bad relationships, loss of loved ones, deliberate choice, infectious disease, mental disorders, neurological disorders or circumstances of employment or situation (see castaway)."   This makes Solitude sound like a disease!    A desire to be alone is NOT a disease!  Solitude is not the same as loneliness or (excessive, involuntary) isolation. --71.10.155.250 (talk) 00:53, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Negative 

message: This is highly questionable, and probably doesn't belong in the lede as currently written as it emphasizes spiritual drivel in a context where physical isolation was supposed to be being contrasted with its other. 72.228.177.92 (talk) 23:18, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  "mindfulness" buddhababble 

message: On the solitude page, it mentions that solitude has been distinguished from loneliness esp. as a positive correlative. On the emotional insecurity page, it states that the greater the insecurity, the greater the isolation becomes. When you click on isolation, it redirects to the solitude page. This is inherently contradictory, as emotional insecurity is pejorative (if not at least a negative quality). Maybe a disambiguity page with solitude, isolation, and sequestration could be made for this dubious affair. (75.71.118.98 (talk) 15:01, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
