loneliness is as bad for you as smoking 15 cigarettes a day

Probably refering to how much time it'll take off your life expectancy. Stress can cause irreversible damage to the heart, and that's mental.
You'd be surprised how much mental health and physical health have in common.

anything mental can heal its self

It is not that simple, mental trauma for instance can be with you for the rest of your life, maybe made easier to deal with via suppression with drugs.
Loneliness could be bad for you, if you're the type of person who can't be alone...

No, loneliness is a mixture of emotion.

Emotion is irrational, but it certainly isn't bad for you.

We live in our bodies as vessels. Emotions are vital to helping us understand the world around us and ourselves as individuals.

I bet if you had even a single day without any emotion and were completely sterile on that count, you'd soon realise how stupid and wrong you are on that statement.

I have had those days. Everything is clear then.. But your right, Lust, anger, hatred, inspiration, pleasure.. Cannot live without them. I was refering to negative emotions mainly.

There is literally nothing anyone can do to make me sad, you could make me angry, and that would make you sad..

The question then becomes, if i clone myself, and my clone makes me angry, could i make my clone sad?

A car wont run you over tomorrow if you have eyes,well i know i wont ever get runover so i dont know why you say that....altho ive seen a lad run out infront of a bus so you're theory could be true, only to stupid people.

I am not stupid and have eyes and I have been run over twice.

Once as I was waiting to cross a SUV came down the road, and for some reason swerved, hit me and drove off.

Second was crossing the road on a crossing, they didn't notice the red light. I managed to stop my friend getting hit but still got clipped by their wing and sent flying.

You aren't suddenly unable to feel certain emotions. You've merely concealed them behind complicated self-defenses.

Break down those defenses, and the emotion becomes pure instead of controlled and contradicted.
