lonely in my definition means missing other's presence, or missing some object's presence. focusing on absence period of an object object means coming and going when you enjoy your self, i call that alone, not lonely you feel nice, you like to be alone then while other is missing, absence period (natural anyway) so yeah, focusing on the absence, is the proof of loneliness

There is no test. In my experience, if you feel lonely, then perhaps you are. The better question is - do I want to be lonely and, if not, what can or will I do about it? The answers are harder to come by but they questions need to be asked. That's where good listener comes in, to listen to you and act as your sounding board.

You get a heavy feeling in your chest, except it varies from person to person. Sometimes it burns, sometimes there's a lump in your throat, sometimes you just feel plain empty. You feel lonely even when people are around or not around. You look around, and realize there's no one beside you to talk to. Loneliness varies though. Sometimes you could have an awesome social life, but still feel lonely.

There isn't an official classification on what makes a person lonely. If you feel lonely or needing human contact, you may be very lonely! Some good ways to combat this could be calling a close friend or family member, as well as using 7 Cups! Remember, we're all here for you

Loneliness has many more subtle symptoms than just feeling like you don't have enough friends. I feel like one of the main symptoms of loneliness is depression. Now, the depression could be caused by loneliness or vice versa. Also pay attention to whether or not you try to distract yourself. Distractions include binge-watching, binge-eating, taking a lot of baths, or sleeping too much or at irregular times.

First you get to define what is loneliness for you. Sometimes it is much more then just being alone. Maybe, it is when you realize that there is no person around, who would understand you. Loneliness is about presence of people in your life. When you miss this presence, you may say you are lonely.

I can be sure that I am lonely if I feel that i have no purpose in this world and I feel insignificant. I would feel that no one wants to know me and that they feel happiness in ignoring me. If I feel that everyone hates my and I will never feel loved

Well,it's very common for everyone to feel lone at sometimes.You can sure you are lonely if you feel like asking yourself 'why I am alone at here?" and sad.This will not just occur on idle time but also the most busy time and when you are feeling happy and satisfied.For example,when you are watching comedy and suddenly you realize that you are laughing alone and when you go for holiday and fun, even with friends ,but you still feel sad

Emotions are difficult things for many people to identify within themselves. Emotions can also be hard to describe or verify. Try to notice how often you are around other people, talking to others, and interacting with family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. Is this happening at least a few times a day? Once a day or less? Take a step back and evaluate your own personal sense of positive alone time. Are you an individual who is comfortable spending a lot of time alone? This doesn't necessarily mean that you are lonely, just that you are fine being alone for longer time periods than most people. If you are an individual who finds themselves alone, and unhappy for shorter or longer amounts of time you may want to reach out to someone for help.
