How can I be sure I am lonely?

when you have no one to talk to about the things that means the most to you. that's how you know you're lonely

You are lonely when you feel like you don't want to talk to anyone, when you feel you don't exist in this normal world, when you don't wish to come out of your worries, when you start to think that being alone keeps you better, and finally when you consider yourself an introvert.

When you feel that you are stranded on a island and theres nobody there to talk to and that theres no hope,when you feel alone in a crowd sitting in a corner with your cellphone opening and closing apps just so people think your busy and social but in reality you are merely looking into a void. When you are having lunch with your family but feel like your alone in the room because nobody wants to talk to you so you quickly fisnish to go upstairs and put on your headphones

I feel lonely if I don't have anyone to share my ideas with , or to tell them about my day..or feel so distant from others

When you don't feel at peace with your solitude/ current crowd and think seeking out/ being on your own will make you fell better, you're lonely.

Lonliness isn't a constant to be sure of. It's a 'feeling' felt when you think you are all alone and there's no one for you.( Concentrate on the word feeling).It's even possible for us to feel lonely even when surrounded by people. Since it's a feeling, it can change with changing situations. So, there's no surety for that feeling. Maybe you feel lonely because apparently, the people who are in your life currently are not able to truly understand and satisfy your idea of a friend, relative or even your partner. However, you could choose to eliminate that feeling, by spending more time with people who truly understand and care for you and give you importance.

Having an empty feeling. Having no one to spend time with for days and not thinking you have "friends". When you don't have anyone to trust except maybe your family. It exists in your thoughts and you feel tired and not motivated to do anything at all. Sometimes this can be very upsetting. Some people listen to music or audios to make themselves feel better. Sometimes sad music and audios. There's nothing wrong with liking to spend time alone. Spending time alone and being lonely is different. Anyone feeling this, I hope you are okay and feel free to message me. x

You can be sure you're lonely if you are in solitude and you feel very alone. You are also lonely if you have no companions.

The best way to frame it is that you feel lonely when you don't have meaningful connections to other people. You feel like there's no one you can turn to, who understands you appreciates you for being you. You can still feel lonely among friends or family, if you don't feel their honest care for you and empathy to understand you, like when everyone around is cheerful but you have a bad day - you and them have to be willing to connect on the same frequency, so to speak. If they try to cheer you up but you don't react, you refuse their offer to connect. If they ignore you - they are not willing to connect. If there's no one you can think of you'd like to connect with - in person or online - you'd also feel lonely.

Hiya, Loneliness differs I guess, Some people feel lonely even if there are people around them and some feel lonely if they find themselves alone. Well, it all depends on how much you love yourself and how happy and comfortable you are being alone or around people. Emotions matter too, If you are in a bad state of mind and you need someone to talk to, share stuff and you don't find the right person- I guess that's when you feel the worst.!!!

First of all, you must recognize the difference between being alone and being lonely. You can be lonely in a room full of people. You can be lonely at school, in a classroom, surrounded by friends. You can be lonely anywhere with anyone at any time. I think loneliness reveals itself in your thoughts. If you often feel tired, unmotivated, lacking in optimism for the future, and you find yourself feeling completely outcasted from society, you might be lonely. If you feel as though you have no one to talk to when you're feeling particularly down, you might be lonely. Perhaps, you take long, hot baths or binge-eat - these are also subtle signs of loneliness.

1-When we have supportive family and friends who make themselves available for us but still we feel uncomfortable sharing our thoughts with them, we feel lonely. 2-When people judge us for who we are when all we did was trusted them with our troubles and shared our heart with them but their judgements discourage us and we feel lonely. 3-Being all alone on our own also makes us feel lonely. 4- Our low self esteem and confidence that we are unworthy of love, appreciation and respect lead us to loneliness. Hope my answers helps you to figure out the cause of your loneliness and overcome it.

You're never lonely. You always have the availability to talk to someone caring and warm-hearted. Even if it's a parent or a sibling, you always have the availability to talk to someone.

Feeling lonely is a very personal thing, and I think it's always best to trust what your body is telling you. If you feel alone, that is enough to qualify as feeling lonely.

If you feel alone, then you are lonely. If you are often by yourself when you don't want to be, you are lonely.

You are so close to people but yet you seem so so far away as if you're isolated with the chance of never being heard

There is a difference in being alone and being lonely. When you are alone, there is no one around you, but you can feel lonely even when you are standing in a group of friends because really don't know what you feel, what you think, what you go through.

You feel lonely - then you are lonely. Different people need different amount of social contact. Few people prefer to be completely alone all the time. Few prefer to be around people any waking minute. There is a wide spectrum of what individuals consider the optimum amount of social interaction. But when you feel you don't have anyone to share your thoughts, problems, fears, happy moments - then I would consider this as a indicator you might be lonely. But in the end what counts is your feeling. But also keep an eye out for denial - I denied that I had a need for someone to share my feelings, thoughts, problems and happy moments. Because I feared to open myself to anymone, I declared that I did not need such a person and that this was normal for me. I learned that this was me in denial of having fear of opening up and denial of being lonely.

hi , if you have no friends and you never have any interest meeting new people then you are lonely ,

Simply think about how active your social life has been. If it hasnt been active and you are sad about that you are lonley but if it is steadily or very active you shouldn't be as lonley depending on the situation.
