How can I be sure I am lonely?

Loneliness is a feeling, an emotion. If you feel lonely, you are lonely- no debate. You might be feeling lonely because of your own inability to express what you need, or your own unrealistic expectations of a relationship. Or, perhaps you are lonely because you don't have anyone to speak to, and are treated unfairly.

If you feel like you don't have anyone to talk to and you feel alone. Usually if you feel lonely, you are.

If you feel like you're all alone , even if surrounded by people, then that's what I consider to be loneliness. You don't have to be alone to feel lonely, it comes from a social longing deep within

When you're lonely, you can feel it inside. Like a sharp ache that makes your soul raw. You feel starved of attention and contact, both physically and emotionally. It makes you feel desolate, like you're trapped in this place away from everyone else. You can see them, but you can't connect to them. Loneliness effects everyone differently, of course. The above is simply my take. To feel lonely you don't have to be alone.

Do you notice that you are alone more often then usual? Do you miss the company of others, without necessarily wanting to be near other people? To me at least that is being lonely.

Everything sitting on a head, nobody bite you or something. Only what you need is a make first step

You can be sure that you are lonely when you don't have anyone to talk to and feeling that you aren't apart of a group.

loneliness is a human curse and you feed it if you gave it attention , you shouldn't be wondering about that if you want to get over it you should be looking for a distraction , an interest in soething that makes you passionate

when there is no one to share with what are you going through!

If only you want you make yourselves happy, then you might be lonely. Talk to yourselves to find the right answer..
