The feeling of being completely isolated even when you're surrounded by millions...
I may not have the knowledge of all things around me, however, I have dealt with feelings of extreme loneliness for the majority of my life; even before I understand exactly what loneliness means. Though many factors come into play, I personally believe it is best to seek professional help when feelings such as loneliness exist and affect your mood/behavior for a prolonged period of time.
When I did finally see a psychologist after years of refusing to ask for help, I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder, which turned out to be the culprit behind my loneliness!
I pray you find the answer to this painful curse. It truly hurts more than any physical wound I've known.

Feeling lonely is a feeling everyone feels even the ones we look at as "perfect". It is a completely normal feeling we all go through, but to feel lonely all the time is not healthy. This feeling being all the time could mean you're not comfortable with yourself or others. Being comfortable with yourself is a start, self-love is important. Once you love yourself and are comfortable with yourself you will find yourself being comfortable with others as well. Improving your comfort with yourself will help comfort with others as well which will lead to you not feeling lonely anymore regarding your comfort with others and interacting with one another.

It means you feel lonely chronically. It also means you need to do something about it. Disconnection from the rest of the population causes more mind problems than you think. Spend more time with your family and friends. If you are a hermit crab, you may need to put in the efforts to get out of your comfort zone. If you don't want to get out of your house and you don't talk with your family or friends. Try talking with strangers. Use social media to communicate with quality people. Find a project and do something that can improve your life and other people's lives.

It is better to answer some other questions first;-
1.Why do you think you are lonely?
2. Are you feeling alone or lonely particularly?
3. Why do you think that you feel that way?
4. Have you tried talking to anyone around you about that?
5. How is it affecting you?
Now, to feel lonely all the time shows that you might not trust those around you and may feel that they don't understand you. it could also be that you are not able to share things with others and have someone hear you out or vice versa. other point to consider, you might feel that other people have many people or someone close to them while you don't feel so.
If it is yes to more that 2 of the above things than that must be the reason why you feel lonely most of the time.
I hope this was helpful.

Feeling lonely all the time means that you haven't learned to love yourself enough. In my experience, I found that I often felt that lonely feeling, that yearning for other's company, because I was not comfortable with my own. Through meditation, I was able to find solace in the silence. By letting go of my electronics, I learned how to love being alone with my own thoughts and not craving constant outside stimuli. However, though you may feel alone, and though learning how to get over that feeling is great, you should always know that there is someone out there who cares for you, or is going through similar things to you, so you're never really alone.

Loneliness comes from a lack of personal connection. If you're wondering why you feel lonely despite any acquaintances or friends you have, it may be because you don't have a deep personal connection with them. If you don't have people you can trust and depend on, it often leaves you feeling adrift. Finding people you can really open up to and connect with can be difficult, but it is so important to have people who you know care about you. When you have people you know would do anything for you, it's much less likely for you to feel lonely. If you feel like you don't have anyone to anchor you and give you security, try to connect with people. True friends are one of life's greatest gifts.

Feeling lonely is a part of life and it can even lead to amazing things. However, it is important to learn how to connect with others. If you are scared to reach out to people or intimidated to "make" people spend time with you, it is important to consider that everyone experiences loneliness from time to time. In order to minimize these feelings, reach out to someone. They may be feeling the same way you are and it is also a positive feeling to feel wanted by someone. Tell someone that you've been thinking of them lately and want to catch up.

Well when you feel lonely it is different for every person. For some people ir can be a lack of joy or friendship in their lives, But for others it can just be the excitement you put yourself in. What I did when I felt lonely all the time was switch up my schedule. It sounds silly but it really helped me. Also, if you feel lonely you most likely will seem a bit sad, so friends won’t really reach out to you as much or at all. With friends you have to take the first step and ask them to do stuff. I hope this helps!

It means you are human. deep down we all feel lonely but we find ways to see past that . people who understand us can really make us feel better but it doesn't necessarily mean that it makes us complete.
so if you feel lonely it means you are going through a time in your life that you need more help and support . this feeling will not last and that is a grantee .
so reach for people , tell them how you feel and be honest .it might not change a lot but it will help a little.

Unfortunately this means that you are lonely. Loneliness is subjective, so it matters not if you have many people around you or if you have no one around you it still means the same thing, you are missing a good connection with people, yes its OK to like or even love your friends and family, but a good connection could be with anyone. A lot of people make the mistake of thinking the soul mate has to be a lover or a partner, this is not always true. From an evolutionary prospective it is not good for us to feel lonely as we always function better as a society if we all stick together and help one another out.
