How can I be sure I am lonely?

Does feelings you feel really need validation and proof from within yourself? If someone feels lonely they would know it, maybe not instantly be aware but they will know eventually, especially if such feels are constant. My own checklist of feeling lonely comprise of being unable to connect with people and my surroundings. As someone that genuinely wants connection with the world around her, i would feel lonely if that requirement of mine isn't met. I also would feel lonely if I felt misunderstood. A person can be surrounded with so many people but if none of them takes the effort/ understand said person.. the person would still feel lonely. It's not about how many people in your life you have, it's about having someone that truly gets you to eases that feeling of loneliness.

You know when you are amongst those who you love and still feel an emptiness that they cant fix. A pain in your chest which isnt real but hurts deeply. A voice in your head thats you but not. A hollow ache that cant seem to be ebbed by drugs or alcohol or comforts which once soothed you. When your in a crowed room but still feel lonely. When you want to be alone to feel that gnawing ache instead of being near those you love knowing they cant help what you feel and are not responsible yet you despise them for what they cant solve.

Loneliness is a feeling, first and foremost, and I am someone who believes in the validity of feelings. If you feel something, then you are definitely feeling it, because if you doubt even that then you can't really believe anything you perceive. (You know, all information we take in is affected by the very chemical levels that determine everything we feel so if you can't trust your feelings to be real then you can't trust your senses either. As to whether you should trust your senses, that is a very different philosophical debate.) Loneliness can be mixed in with other feelings though, and even if you are surrounded by people who care about you, if you hit a particularly dark spot of, for example, depression, you may feel lonely even though you have a strong support system already. It's important to identify other things you're feeling: do you have signs of depression or anxiety with your loneliness, or does your loneliness come and go on its own, independent of these other emotions? You need to really be aware of the issue and of your past in order to know how to solve it.

Being alone and being lonely are two different things. You know you are lonely when the room is filled with people you know and yet you don't felt connected to these people. You lose yourself even with so many people and your heart is not where your body is. You know you are lonely when you try so hard to share your emotions but nobody is there to listen. You feel lonely during your hardest times because you think nobody can understand what you are going through. It is really easy to get lost in the lonesome. o

There is no one, single way of being sure, because everybody has a different definition of loneliness, and everybody has a different threshold for what they can emotionally handle. It takes introspection and an analysis of one's own environment and how it relates to them to understand how they are feeling, and why. Even then, the anxious and/or depressed mind might overthink how they are feeling, further complicating the question. They might think they want to be alone, but in reality need somebody to be there for them. Sometimes we are not lonely for the physical contact with somebody else, but rather we are lonely for somebody who actually understands.

You're lonely when you feel lonely. That's the only requirement. Even if you have a large circle of friends or family you hang out with all the time, if you feel lonely, you're lonely. So then, how do you know you -feel- lonely? I suppose you feel lonely when you're wishing you had someone to meaningfully share something with. Whether it's sharing physical contact, sharing ideas, or sharing the same room or space. This is why you can feel lonely even when there's people around you. They might be near you, but you might be unable to share the thing you want with them. Or perhaps you feel like they won't understand the message behind your act of sharing.

There's a difference between alone and lonely. Being lonely leans towards feeling badly about being apart from everyone and disconnected from everyone. Lonely feels like a longing to be with someone. Being alone feels like you are choosing to be alone. I think of it as being ok about being alone. I call it Sanctuary time. For each person, a specific amount of alone time is required. Some people never want to be alone. Some people can handle days and weeks alone. There's no right about of alone time needed for each person. Lonely is a state of mind that you are not in alignment with being alone. You are noticing you are being alone and you long to be connected to someone. Pick up a phone and call a friend, or go out and change the scenery. Maybe that's all you need.

You are never lonely, this is only a feeling we have in ourselves. Be alone doesn't mean you are lonely. You are surrounded by millions of different life forms around you that you can connect and communicate with. A pet, tree, even plants. flowers in and outside your home. We are too focused on humans only. You can feel lonely in a big city but feel the total opposite in a wooden cabin in a forest. These days we also have internet, multiplayer games, chat forums social media. Even music or a movie can you let yourself feel connected.

You know that you are lonely when you feel like you cannot to connect with others on a deeper, more intimate level, when you have no close friends or 'best' friends, when you have an overwhelming feeling of isolation regardless of where you are and who's around, when you have negative feelings of self-doubt and self-worth, when you feel like you don't have anyone to talk to, you find yourself taking really long and hot showers, you can't stop binge-watching shows, etc... Hope this helped a little.

When you have something( even its happy or sadness ) to talk/express and you feel no one really there to express, when you feel the love/care that y0u kept on others and the same person doesn't recognize that. Even when you were surrounded by hundreds, still not having anyone to standup with you.

When you feel that you want to talk about something private and you dont find someone you feel relieved to talk to or when you want to do something and you have anyone who can be with you. You could be lonely if you spend alot of your time alone, people dont reach out to you, when you spend time doing things just for the sake of passing time. When you feel hollow inside and feel that you want to cry and you like to sleep alot so your day is over. Maybe other stuff also that make you feel away from the world

First of all being lonely and being alone are very different. You feel alone when you are physically alone. Loneliness however is a feeling you can have all the time. It is having friends, but no one to talk to. Not knowing where to go in the school break. Being in a room full of people but feeling like you are alone in the world, almost lost. It is being stuck in a situation and you can't talk about it or get out. Knowing that whatever happens, you will have to figure it out on your own, without the help of anybody on this entire planet.

Sometimes we can struggle with loneliness, doubt or self doubt, feeling misunderstood. I know how hard it can be and I'm so sorry you have to deal with it on your own. Well, I'm sure that deep down you're not lonely. There will always be people who care and are affected by your life! Most times that's just how you percieve the world or in this case people around you. Anyway, that's not a good pretest to deny your emotions though. A big step is recognizing how you're feeling (in this case, lonely) and try to talk about it. Please, don't keep in inside, or else it will soon become a belief! I'm always here if you need me to prove you that you're not lonely!

If you know someone who seems to spend a lot of time alone, it could be a sign that they are lonely. For example, if one of your colleagues always eats lunch alone or doesn’t join in with office banter, it could be because they are nervous about diving in and need someone else to initiate. 1. They spend a lot of time alone 2. They are unproductive 3. They get stuck on the negatives 4. They seem to be sick or ill frequently 5. They seem overly attached to their possessions or hobbies. When someone feels lonely they are more likely to try to distract themselves with the other things in their lives.

Most people notice they are lonely when they feel the need to lean on somebody, but realize they have nobody to lean on to and some when they feel alone even in places packed full with people. Being lonely is something every person feels in a different way though, loneliness is an emotion, and sometimes emotions can not be translated into words. Being lonely is nothing to be ashamed of. Everybody was lonely at some point or another in their life, but nobody will stay lonely forever, it sometimes just takes more time for a person to find somebody they can lean on.

If you are mentally as well as physically isolated, you may be lonely. But this is not always the case. If you like spending time alone or in solitude that is a good attribute towards yourself , because then you can introspect yourself. You can deeply meditate upon your qualities, behaviour and true nature, how do you reflect on certain situations. These introspection helps you build your personality and overall well being and so lonliness is not always a negative thing. If you take loneliness positively you grow with it and help and heal yourself as well as others .

To be sure you are lonely is when you feel like there is nothing and no one to see in life, it feels like you are the only person on this earth, and that can be extremely isolating even when you are in a room full of people. It is the inability or hardness to connect with others on deeper levels, and the fact that you do not have any close or best friends that you can come to if you need help, and the overwhelming feeling of isolation. It is the emotional exhausting when trying to speak with someone, and the negative feelings of worth and self-doubt.

A wise man ounce told me that there is a difference between being alone and being lonely, and that we often get the two mixed up. the difference is that being alone is a state of being, but being lonely is a state of mind, a feeling. lonely is the feeling that you have nobody, that you don't have anybody who cares about you. The second way to tell if you feel lonely instead of just alone is if you have people but feel you do not, like you could be in a crowded room but still feel alone.

When I am feeling lonely, I know that i constantly feel tired all the time. I feel like a deflated balloon walking around with very little motivation. I don't feel like I have a best friend or anyone that I can really talk with. Even when I'm with others I feel like there is no deep connection and it's as if we weren't even "hanging out". I tend to participate in activities that don't include others such as binge watching television, or I spend a lot of time on social media instead of spending time with people in person.. I think I do that because seeing people on television or on social media makes it seem like I'm surrounded by people, but in the end I always still have that nagging feeling of tiredness. If you have any of these feelings, you are probably lonely.

Well, anything you feel is valid. If you feel lonely that is sad about being left out or alone even in a group full of people, its still means you’re feeling lonely. Loneliness doesn’t simply mean physical distance from people, it is how you feel on the inside. Like if you have this feeling that there’s no one you can go to and no one who will be there for you all the time, it’s still a feeling of loneliness and despite it having a negative connotation, it’s okay. Maybe you haven’t found your “people” yet and that’s what the universe is trying to show you because you deserve the best. The “ghost” of loneliness makes its presence felt, it’s up to you to validate then.

You can be sure you are lonely when you distance yourself from other people. And what I mean by this is that you are not surrounding yourself with others or you just don't enjoy being around the individuals close to you. Also when the people around you don't communicate or reach out to you: in the sense that are people you know but still they do not open up a conversation with you. You can also be sure you are lonely when you stay by yourself a lot. Whether it's when you are at home or school.

Sometimes people feel "alone in a crowd". This could possibly indicate that the person doesn't feel that they can be 'themselves'? It could also be a feeling when certain desires, expectations, goals, or just a general outlook on life is not shared amongst your peers? The notion of being lonely can also be a ramification of feeling that no one will understand how I feel about this or that. The idea that no one around can identify with me? People can have a lot of friends and still be lonely if something is 'missing' from their life? Loneliness can be conceived when everyone around a person seems happy and having a good time, but you are not?
