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.
