What does it mean when you feel lonely all the time?

It feels like you have something interesting to tell everyone but no one to listen to you. The feeling of not belonging makes a person feel lonely all the time.

Feeling lonely isn't an uncommon response, people will go through loneliness at least once in their lifetime. Sometimes when we feel lonely this can be an indication that something in your life needs to change, whether that is an unhealthy relationship with a friend or partner or even the job that you are in. Sometimes changing routine and trying something different or new to engage yourself in new experiences can be enough to make you feel included and accepted again. But please remember that even when you feel alone and like nobody cares, people do care and you are greatly loved. Don't give up, I believe in you!

You are probably not getting what you need from the people in your life - support, affection, conversation...

It can mean a great deal of things. Loneliness can be a symptom of something more serious, like depression. Remember to take care of yourself and if you feel compelled to, seeing a doctor isn't a bad idea if your loneliness is affecting your quality of life.

Because we feel disconnected from people all the time. It's quite common to feel disconnected when we don't get enough affection and understanding from family and friends. When we feel distant from people close to us we start to feel lonely. Often I used to feel like I am the only one alive in this world. To ease this heaviness peer support from alike minded people is what we need first. If we feel understood first, we can have longer conversations, a good laugh, or just feel a little less heavy, we start to feel connected. When we start to feel supported and understood our chest starts to unload and we can concentrate on finding more paths for our wellbeing. Hope you find a path feel a lot less heavy in your chest. Love.

when you really want to share something to someone and there's nobody to share. Or if they have issues trusting or making friends. feeling left out and bored. feeling depressed but no one is to help the person. feeling insecure, or lack of support or encouragement. even if there are parents and family around you, you feel to live seperately just because both have different point of views. when you go against something and want someone to be on your side. left ignored, forgotten all leads to loneliness. you can solve this by making friends or sharing your insights with the person around you or staying away from them.

When you feel lonely all the time, it could mean you don't talk to your friends enough. Try to shoot them a message or do something with them.

If you feel lonely all the time then that is not a good sign. I, myself have been through that feeling my most of my teenage years. You may feel like, more people is the solution to your loneliness, but alas, it is not so. Instead, i would say that it may be the result of us, spending so much time in our head, overthinking every little thing. It may also mean, we are not challenging ourselves to grow as much as we should. It may also mean that we haven't yet found our passion in life (or really a thing that we are good at and love doing). Just realize that we need get out of our head and live the hell out of whatever is presented to us by our life. Just give yourself new challenges to overcome and try your best (what if you can't? You will still have a best time).

Usually it means the connections that are existent in your life aren't fulfilling you emotionally in a way that you need. To help it can be quite useful in really looking at what you want from the support network around you and being able to voice those wants so that you can strengthen weak connections. It is perfectly valid to feel lonely even in a room full of people, try to pick out one or two people that you think may be able to help and work on creating a dialogue you are in control of that fulfills you. Sending hugs!

To me, this means that you feel like you have no one, who is willing to listen to you. You feel like no one in the world cares about you, worries about you, and thinks about you. It's like when you turn on your phone to text somebody that you just want to talk, you end up turning your phone back off because there is no one that you can reach out to. Loneliness to me is just when there is an empty feeling in your chest, and you know that there is no one by your side. (However, this feeling varies so much among every individual.)

It could mean that no matter how many people you have around you, you don't have a soul-to-soul connection with anyone..

I guess you feel like that because you are no so sociable, or maybe you feel something is missing...

I think feeling lonely all the time does not necessarily mean you are alone all the time. You can feel alone in a big group of people or even in your own house. Sometimes that is how it was for me. You may feel that people do not understand you or you may feel that you are truly isolated from the people around you. It is the worst feeling ever, especially when you have people around you that love you unconditionally.

It's perfectly normal to go through times where you feel alone. I have been there many times I myself and one pretty recently. Try to surround yourself with people who mean the most to you. Focus on the good.

You might be neglected by the people around you or maybe you are just having lots of time where you don't have tasks to do so you stay alone & think about your problems while everyone else is busy in their own lives

It means that you feel all alone in the world, that you're completely different to everyone else, that no one else understands you, that you feel like you have no friends in the world to talk to. It means that you have no one to share memories with, do things with. Loneliness sucks! But there's no need to feel like that. There are 7 billion people in the world. Someone out there would love to be your friend.

It means you love being connected to others in a deep way and there is more potential in you to look for deeper connection with those you love.

Loneliness, depression, the feeling of being completely helpess and hopeless it's not a good feeling

When you feel lonely all the time it could mean that you either done connect with many people or you need to go out there a make friends by joining sports clubs,lessons etc.

It means your feeling alone. Humans are social creatures and it hurts being alone. The feelings you get when there is no one like friends, family, a lover, etc someone that you can always be there for you. Therefore that is what it feels to be lonely. No one deserves to be lonely and alone but people don't get along with everyone and thus those who need friendship doesn't mean they have to be perfect. Not everyone fits. No one is perfect. Ways to cope with loneliness? Keep yourself busy. Read books, watch a movie, listen to songs etc. But it affects you as loneliness gets into your mind and makes everything dark. Distracting self is very helpful and important.

It may mean many things, if it is possible to talk to someone then try to do it, maybe it would help.

It means i am experiencing trouble that I can't get through and there is no one for me to seek for help. There is always this kind of situation where loneliness is all over me and I am stuck. Feel lonely is also a chance for me to learn more about myself in understanding where the loneliness come from. For me, loneliness often came from feeling helpless and useless and stuck in a situation where there is no breakthrough point. Feel lonely all the time also means that I am insecure and being stuck in a negative emotions or affection and unable to make it through.

You actually have no one

Being lonely all the time means that some of your needs aren't met. It can arise also when your self care isn't sufficient or you overburdened yourself. You can consider some more self care and cuddling yourself. Try to think about people who like you and disregard people who dislike or hurt you. Feeling of loneliness can also arise when you are bored and no one currently has time to hang out with you. You can consider to distract yourself with a hobby or relaxing activity (exercising, for example). Constant feeling of loneliness can also signal that you have got depression and you need professional counselling or psychiatrist.

Many of the times I have felt lonely was tied to how I saw myself compared to others. I would look at other people online or in real life having fun and many friends but I was stuck at home. My energy was usually low so I felt like I couldn't get out of the house. And I would assume that no one wanted to hang out with me because no one asked. But, then I asked someone to get a coffee with me. And they said yes. And it became clear that my energy would raise with just a walk outside. And as I am an extreme extravert, just sitting in a town square with people whilst drawing was great for not feeling lonely. But I understand that some seasons its even hard to get out of the house. Or to meet people. Sometimes we are isolated. I live 10,000km from my family. So its very easy to feel isolated. But there are people to talk to here on 7 cups. There are probably people in your city that want a new friend. And a few things can connect you quickly. Including augmented reality games like pokemon go, or learning a new language. I'm sorry you are feeling lonely. But proud that you are reaching out. Keep reaching. People are here for you.

It most likely means that you do not connect to the people around you, maybe because of trust issues, or other issues. Maybe you don't fit in with the people you surround yourself with. In other cases it may just be that you are alone a lot of the time, which is not bad in any way, although being social is healthy, it is always better to stay alone than with people that are not good for you. Simple ways to deal with loneliness is to get to know new people, or simply take a walk around your town, explore new areas. Avoid getting stuck infront of the computer, or eating too much food, to cope.

When you feel lonely all the time, I think it's an indication that you may not be comfortable with your own company. This could be a reflection of low self-esteem or a lack of well-developed interests. Rather than seeing the situation as one that is lonely, perhaps reframe it as an opportunity to discover and learn more about the things that matter to you and how you can work on them. Of-course, feeling lonely can also be an indication that maybe we need to make an effort to branch out to more people. Calling a friend you haven't spoken to in a while or joining a community activity where you can meet new people could help.

You're not happy with yourself. Even if you're in a relationship or single -another person won't change how you feel. You need more than a number of friends, a number of romantic partners, or a marriage. You need to feel your life has meaning and purpose. Go out and discover your purpose. We go through life comparing ourselves to the movies, to the big screens, to Facebook and other social media. This isn't the truth behind happiness. A wise person once told me it must come from within. He was right. Go out there and find your purpose, your calling. Find what brings you excitement, what drives you to help others and bring excitement to their lives. Find your wings and soar.

Feeling lonely all the time may be a side effect of depression (from my experience dealing with moderate to severe depression can be really isolating even when you are surrounded by people). It could also be that maybe your relationships or friendships may not be the healthiest. When I was in high school I had "friends" that I would hang out with everyday but still somehow I would feel lonely. When i started college I was still lonely no matter how many people I hung out with or who were around me. The most important thing to know is that there's nothing wrong with you. It's normal to feel lonely at times but when you feel lonely all the time it could be because your environment may not be the most healthy or maybe that it's just another stage in your life you have to go through.

Feeling lonely can have a big affect on your life, making you feel like you have no one; that no one will be there for you or that no one cares about you. One might be comparing their life to others, who have many people in their life & appear to be happy. Or the feeling of lonesome can go along with being “stuck” in a certain situation or chapter of your life. It is very important for people to know that they are deeply cared about, and that there are probably many more people in their life that love them, than they had originally realize.
