If you are lonely,what is the reason ?

There are some people who are lonely in this World and the reasons for loneliness is not same for all those people.I am lonely because i always liked to meet few people with similar interests and i never met anyone like that and also i am not much sociable.For me,quality is important and not quantity. First time when i read about loneliness from the web,i noted that there were people who are in a relationship and yet they are lonely.That was different for me to understand.Some of them will have kids and some don't.In that case,a person who is not in a relationship will feel even more lonely.

I don't like the place i live,as well as the neighbors who are all complete opposite.So for me,pc is the only thing to kill time.I never had any friend,never was in a relationship and probably never will be and i don't worry about it.Not everyone lives the same life and i knew that the life system for all creatures on this planet is a garbage.I went too far than the topic.Anyway..

No. Alone but not lonely.

I picked lonely but it's not an all the time thing. Mainly I feel lonely when I hang out with friends or have to be social. Being around others seems to highlight in my mind how different I am. Thus I feel lonely. When I am by myself then I'm fine and usually content.

I am lonely because I find it very hard to connect with people in the real world.

Exactly how I feel.

I am married and love my wife but I am not fully at ease until she is away somewhere.

Yes i am lonely...I do get out and work with people but its only at work where i am around people. But even there i am in my own world. Most people have ill intentions anyway, i kinda feel safe here.

[Pikku Myy]

Yes - I am lonely and have friends

Yes, I feel lonely many times. I have like 5 great friends that are like family, but basically I'm alone here with a daughter and left behind all my family and childhood friends from Argentina. Tough

Yes, I'm lonely, but I have to live with it.

The will of the universe does not want me to have friends.

I need nobody to befriend me.

That is why I have family there instead. People who actually want me around.

Lonely. I do not feel an emotional connection to hardly anyone. The few connections I have IRL are mild emotional relationships.

I feel lonely everyday. There are several reasons for it. I left the country where I was bot and raised after 32 years of life and came to my current country of residence as an immigrant. I grew up speaking English and although there is nothing that would distinguish me from a person born in my 2nd country, I find that the lack of shared life experiences with the people around me has isolated me to a great extent. People often prefer to hang out with friends they've known for a long time and gone to high school with. I don't have a single good friend in the 3 years I've been here.
I also struggle with self esteem issues. I always have. Thus goes back to my early childhood and I a learning to keep those feelings under control with help from a counsellor.
It's nice to have people to talk to and share feelings with. Don't give up on being nice and trying to connect with people. You will eventually find people you like. If you feel you're struggling too much, seek help from a professional. Talk.

I don't connect to others or form friendships easily, so I am a bit lonely. Luckily, I work a job that regularly exposes me to people so I have opportunities to enjoy the company of others. I have a few people I'm close to, but I don't see them often or they're online friends so it leaves me with too much time to myself.

I also tend to attract very needy people, so if I'm not careful I wind up drained by people who don't care about me - just the attention.

This is an interesting topic but I think there can be more options added to the poll since there's many reasons someone can be lonely...just a suggestion...

Am so lonely!
I am 33yrs old and my only friend is my boyfriend and we live apart.
It's so sad that i have no one to talk to, i have no one to invite me out and i am on my own all the time.

When i look at Whatsapp and see pictures of so called 'mates' having fun...It's like they are saying F****k you, we don't want you in our lives!
There have been times that I have thought if i died at home...no one would know and my body would rot and no one would check on me!

I asked my boyfriend, why can i not make friends and he said it's due to me seeming so desperate for a mate!
Always talking to people that don't want to be bothered by me!


It's horrible being lonely and not having anyone to talk to!

I am fighting a daily battle to get out to work and then all i do is stay at home alone by myself as i have nowhere to go and no one to talk to!

lonely, because everbody sees me as a strange bird.

[Laurilee.20]

I feel lonely at times (slightly less than I used to as now I am embracing my loves) as the music and films I am passionate for are very 'dated' ha. Would be nice to chat with people who share the same/similar interests as I do, and who like music that isn't rap or dubstep.

I really don't know if I'm lonely or not right now. Something's missing, but I don't think it's people.

I'm very lonely. I have very little family to speak of and the live in another country. I get to know people quite easily but establishing good friendships is the hardest thing for me to do. I would love a good friend but it never seems to happen.

We are both away from home and I think that can be very hard to live in another culture.

Hi Scottishmist, you are absolutely right, don't get me wrong, I love the US, and I found better financial opportunities than in my country, but the loneliness has to do with having no roots here, even having good friends is not enough.

Yes, it's hard to find people I click with.

I completely understand! I've moved to a nice place but that doesn't make up for the loneliness felt by being so far away from my own country and my roots. Everything that is familiar and dear to me has been left behind. Even the little things like my favourite walks, cafes, shops etc. Also, not having my old friends around to share the bad times as well as the good leaves me feeling like there is a hole inside me.

The adjustment to living in a foreign country can take quite a while and going through the transistion isn't easy. One of the things I find hard is relating to people from another culture and I guess that's why I feel not only lonely but lost. I feel that I'm not connecting because I don't understand the culture like my own.

Can you relate to this?

I've sent a reply to you but it has ended up on my posting. Don't know why!

Hesitating to respond.

I feel very isolated, very frequently. I guess it's partly my doing. I isolated heavily during the height of my eating disorder. It was just easier to be alone. Of course, at the time, what I was doing was numbing me... so I didn't feel like I was lonely. Now, though, I'm feeling the full force of the isolation.

I have one close friend, an online one. And I have some other people I speak to online. But most of the time, I spend my days entirely alone. I often find myself having conversations with myself. Because I have to speak to someone. Although, the reason I hesitated to respond is because... in my experience, isolation and loneliness feel different. I can't explain it, and I won't try to. I am alone most of the time, so the reasonable choice to choose was yes.

I went through exactly the same problem. It took me a lot of therapy and a few years to adjust. About two years ago me depression got really worse and I've been on an antidepressant since. I'm a single mom and what depresses me most lately is not having a life partner. Hard to find honest, loving supportive men.

Hi there. I think I understand where you're coming from. Have you reached out for help on your eating disorder?
