Why do I feel lonely?
462221
Most often people feel lonely because they haven't learned to love themselves very much. Often it's because they spend so much time trying to please others or to be all things to all people that they don't take the time to learn what THEY need themselves. It's hard, but you need to learn to be happy with yourself, about yourself, and by yourself. If you can do this, then you will not find yourself lonely, or needy. In turn, others won't be turned off by you because you seem lonely, and sad, and needy. You will suddenly appear more interesting and desirable to someone else. It may sound contradictory, but I think you will find many people will agree with me.

You are not alone in feeling alone!  Sometimes, we all do.  Just remember, no matter how bad you feel, someone else feels alone also.  Reach out in some small way to do something nice for someone you love, and you won't feel so alone.\n\nGood luck!

Hi - I'm sorry that you feel that way. It sounds like you may need to talk with someone professional. There are so many things to be done that can help you to feel more social, or to alleviate that "empty" feeling. I hope you mention these feelings to someone near you who is kind and very caring.

Some people feel very much alone when ignored by their boyfriend or girlfriend.  They feel like they are not loved or liked and taken for granted sometimes.  It is as if they do not exist and it is a very lonely feeling.  I would rather be alone period than experience loneliness in a relationship because it is twice as bad since you care about someone but they don't care about you and it makes you lonely and empty and inside.

So you want to make friends now because you feel lonely .... does this about sum it up?\n\nStart slow; call your "best" friend and arrange a lunch.  During lunch tell your friend what you've told all of us and ask for his help in getting you out more socially.\n\nOr, make new friends.  Go to an event where people are put together by common interest - a book club, gardening club, whatever you are interested in.\n\nSince you've spent your life being alone, here's a rule to being a friend that will help - show interest in the other person, the friendship isn't all about you!  Ask questions about their life, most people love to share stories of their lives; after all, they want to share themselves too!

This happens when people are neglected. Find something you like to do and make friends who are positive. Sometimes, even having friends through the internet gives you something to look forward to, and it can help boost your confidence and self-esteem and not make you feel like you want to run away. And of course, make a personality of your own, so that your family can notice you and appreciate your inner beauty! :)

Why do you feel sad?  We reap what we sow.  You were alone today because you haven't gone out of your way to make it any different (make friends).  Do you aknowledge anybody elses birthday?  I'm just asking these questions because I had the same thing happen to me years ago and I realized it had everything to do with my decisions.  \n\nHappy Birthday--we are here!

just think you are "lonely" but not necessarily "alone" \ni know what loneliness and emptiness feel like, especially when i was younger. but what helped me through it was when i finally grew up and realized that the world does not revolve around me. we sometimes feel alone when we feel like we are being ignored... that's how i used to think. but now, i don't care anymore if nobody pays attention to me. you will get more positive feedbacks if you were to help other people in need -- and in return, that actually gets you noticed even more. compared to sulking in your own sadness. so try to go out and help out... it's a wonderful feeling.

I'm thinking that I'm sad and I don't know why. . . Maybe I'm just tired- maybe I'm about to start-  I feel the lump in my throat like I'm about to cry.  I think I'm just a little lonely b/c my man and children are sleeping and I'm still awake at 2:09 AM- I'm thinking that there are so many closed-minded people in the R & S section.  \n\nThanks for asking

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.

Hey, people are not destined to be alone. There is someone out there in this world who is destined for you. Sometimes, they are just right infront of you but you didn't see them! \n\nWe have to meet the wrong persons before meeting the right one. Apperance doesn't count. Its better to read a book than to judge it.\n\nI feel empty, too, at times, but come to think of it again, I have my family and friends who loves me as much. A few of them are also people I could confide it.\n\nSo feel blessed, and don't feel empty.

Find a friend, if that doesn't work there is always BEN&JERRYS Chunky Monkey, it always makes everything better.\n\nBut honestly, I have felt all of those things, and that is not a good place to be.  I hope that you can realize that you are special and of infinate worth.  It breaks my heart that you feel that way. Feel free to email and we can talk, you don't have to feel so alone and that can be a start.

The truth is that sometimes we all need a little bit more than "people who care about you."\n\nI would say based on the information you give here that either you are in need of some good friendships or a romantic relationship, or you are in the early stages of depression, which fits well with your loneliness among people who care about you.\n\nIf your condition gets worse to the point where you can't or don't want to go out of the house or do the activities you normally enjoy, then it is depression, but you should go to your doctor now before it gets to that point.\n\nGod bless you.
