Why do I feel so alone?

It might be for various reason, you might feel alone because you feel no one understands you or it might be because even though you have a lot of friends none really seems to be present for you. Being alone and feeling alone are 2 different things. The question I would like to know is why do you think you feel so alone.

Maybe because your freetime is spent alone. Try reaching out and engaging in conversations and social activities.

I feel so alone because I don't really know who I am or who I want to be so I don't know who to hang out with or if anyone has the same problems as me.

I can relate to this question far too much. I feel alone, almost every second, of every day and night. I mean, I know I'm depressed, but I'm getting better! Yet I feel like this still... And I don't know why I feel this way anymore. I know I'm not alone, and that I never was alone. But I feel alone. Why? I'm tired of feeling this way. I'm used to it, but that doesn't mean I'm not tired of this. It's the same day, almost every day. The same night, almost every night. I'm tired. I wish I had someone I could go to every day and ask for a hug or for them to cuddle me or just simply hang out with me. But my "friends" don't seem to get the hint. I just want to feel safe, not alone. Is that too much to ask..?

Its human nature to crave contact with others, so maybe its been to long since youve hugged someone, or in an other case, maybe you just are trying too hard to find friends, that you dotn realize that you already have alot of them.

I think that age, gender and situation is a big impact on why people feel alone. If example you are in your 30's your probably looking to settle down and all and if you have no one to settle down with loneliness is bound to kick in. Always try to stay positive things will come in due time :)

Personally, I went through a period last year where I felt very alone. I didn't have friends, I lived in a new city with my boyfriend. Depression can be the cause. Would you like to speak to a listener?

you probably feel alone because you want to be alone with out realising. it happens a lot when going through depression you just want to go through what you are going through alone and would like not to waste other peoples time but that is not true you need to just stop and take a breath and look around you there is going to be some one there that cares about you and can help you with your current mental state of feeling alone x

According to a study of more than 170,000 people published at the Psychology Bulletin in 2013, the average adult’s network of friends and colleagues have shrunk over the past 3 decades. It’s no wonder many people feel lonelier than ever. Feeling lonely, however, is not a direct cause of being alone. It’s possible to feel lonely in a crowd.

So many things could be causing your feelings of loneliness; I know one of the worst things in the world is feeling emotionally alone when someone's physically with you. It's in those times that you have to find peace in whatever makes you happiest; God, or being your own best friend, etc.
