Why do some people complain about being lonely. You can talk to people at your job or join a church.?

Sometimes being lonely doesn't involve the lack of friends. Its like a state of mind. When someone claims he/she is lonely, he/she usually craves the companionship or love of another person. Sometimes they want to be loved by another person. Basically, loneliness or the experience of being lonely, is any emotion that is wrapped up in urgency or anxiety. The urgency creates a fear that the very thing a person wants or is longing for is being denied or withheld from that person. Anxiety creates a fear that the very thing a person is lusting for is in some way being denied or withheld from them.. The person is unaware that they are afraid and in response to being unaware, they seek and crave or lust after the very thing they believe they cannot have. THIS IS THE TRUE MEANING OF BEING LONELY...A person is never lonely for a person or a thing. That person is seeking an experience they believe they cannot have..I.V...I hope this helps a little bit....

My philosphy is that I didn't get my job to make friend.  I have friends.  I got my job to make money.  It can be touchy when others have friendships, esp. with bosses in your office.  Go with the flow.  Sit down, be quiet, and don't rock the boat or they will throw you overboard!!  Good luck...I know that it is no fun.

You may be confusing solitude with loneliness.Solitude can actually be a very positive thing.Loneliness is the negative thing.However,SIN is the biggest soul disease of our or any other time in history.

You can be alone without being lonely. Learn to be happy with yourself.\nI know from experience.

:}\nSome people just don't care about others.\nwe cant let that interfere with the calling we have in life\nexcept perhaps we might feel called to witness to that person or  to pray for them./

Some people feel lonely even when they're surrounded by tons of other people.I sort of feel that way too.There can be a million people around you and you feel that no one in that group understands how you feel deep down inside.They think they do but they don't and you can't find anybody to confide in.It's a horrible feeling.

Being alone and being lonely are two totally different things. If you are alone and get bored, try a hobby or call a friend. If you are lonely, that is a different matter. Still you might try getting out and doing something and maybe meeting some new friends to have dinner with, see a movie, etc.

Get active.  Find out what you like to do and do it.  I mostly find that lonely people are lonely because they sit around watching tv stuffing their faces with junk food wishing that they could meet someone or do something fun.  As Nike says, Just do it.  You can't be lonely if your active, you don't have time to be lonely.  Either get busy living or get busy dying.

I've relocated several times and the one reliable place to meet good people is at church functions.  Especially when they have a fundraiser, volunteer to help out in any way you can.  It's a great way to meet people.

Sure!\n\nI sing, participate in Bible study classes and ladies' classes.  I send out a daily e-mail to our congregation.\n\nI think it's sad when people think that just because they aren't leading, that they aren't contributing.  Anyone can (and I believe, should) participate.\n\nI listen attentively.  I've heard preachers say that it's so discouraging when people don't make eye-contact with them while they're preaching.  Apparently someone in a congregation I once attended was doing homework during the sermon.  :o(\n\nMany of us meet outside of services as well.  We need to be active and participate in each others' lives and encourage each other.

That's so funny, because I was thinking of the same question earlier this morning while on my way to work.  I used to have plenty of friends while in high school, but now with one 2 year old girl and attending college and work, it seems hard. This morning, the reason why I believe that I do not have much friends, is because I am a leader not a follower, at least most of the times. And I think that most people do not want to be friends with people who are doing better than them at work, or education wise. And of course, people like other people who like to get wasted and smoke. Well I hope I kinda answer sortoff your question.

I think everybody who is lonely feels that way.  Get out and meet people instead of sitting there feeling sorry for yourself.

I agree.  It's not like many people purposfully are alone.  I suppose they think they are being encouraging and polite, but I wish they'd shut up.

Find some people who share your interests, that will help you make some friends. They can help you get settled, help with things like a job, knowing where stuff is around town, etc. If you're a Christian (and especially if you aren't), find a good church - you will get love and help and encouragement.
