It means that you feel that nobody can relate to you. You constantly feel alienated from others and feel unhappy. This makes you feel empty and be unable to connect with others. Ultimately this sadness can lead to depression and isolation. You may start building walls around yourself from others in order to protect yourself. In the end the fear of rejection will ultimately make you feel isolated and make you feel lonely all the time. Something that just started with a mere feeling will become a physical manifestation. This will become a reality and a constant reminder for the person.

Because loneliness is so common, it makes sense that there are also lots and lots of different reasons why people feel lonely. Recent research from ReachOut has shown that one in five young people reported feeling lonely 'most of the time' or 'always'.
Loneliness is a normal, human experience. But when left unchecked, it can be bad for your emotional and physical health. Whether you occasionally feel a little lonely when you're at home by yourself or you experience a deep sense of loneliness that never goes away, it's important to address loneliness in a healthy way.
So just because you’re feeling lonely, it doesn’t mean that you are different or ‘weird’: in fact, it means that you have more in common with the people around you than you realise.

It means that you're sad and bottled up with all the negative things of the world that you just can't find any reason to be happy anymore. And this will lead to serious effect on yourself. Beat the loneliness and start thinking the opposite. If you need a someone to talk to, a stranger is the best option because they give a different perspective of your problem. Feeling lonely is normal but feeling it all the time is another case. Don't bear the problem of the world. The world has a lot of people, it's not your challenge alone. We will face it together.

It depends. But when you feel lonely it usually means that something may be off in your life; emotions are guideposts. For example, it may mean that you're not feeling seen and/or heard in your closest relationships. This can also happen if you feel like your needs aren't being met. And it can simply mean that you haven't seen your friends in a while and that you are missing human interaction. In any case, loneliness usually means that we should reach out to others. It's important to take note of how we're feeling and take action on it. For example, reaching out on 7 cups.

If you feel lonely at times, it means that you don't have many people to talk with.
If you feel lonely all the time, it means that you are not being friendly to yourself.
So, talk to yourself first. You will know what you have in yourself and what you don't. So that you will start attracting the right people and the loneliness will be left alone. You must also understand that there can be loneliness even when there are hundreds and thousands of people around you. Because being alone is different from being lonely. Love others as you love yourself. So, Love yourself first.

Emotions are communications that help us to understand ourselves better. An emotion like loneliness can tell us many things. It might indicate that we need social or emotional support. Or it might show that we are feeling a lack of connectedness with others. Most importantly, loneliness is a indicator that we are loving and are deserving of love in return, which is a good thing. There are many ways to help ourselves when we are feeling lonely. We can arrange a social event with a friend. We can call a family member or someone important to us. If we are not near loved ones, a short conversation at the store or a restaurant can also help.

Hey, feeling lonely sometimes it's normal but if you feel lonely all the time, it might mean something else. It depends upon the individual, according to me. What makes them feel lonely? why they feel lonely? what do they think of, while feeling lonely? Is it mental feeling or feeling of physical loneliness? I feel there is nothing to panic about it. After evaluating what makes you feel lonely all the time and figuring out some factors, you can ask yourself how you could work out through those factors. You can seek help from a professional therapist or doctor and/or with some friends or family. You can even do it yourself. Feeling lonely could have a lot of reasons, and writing out your own reasons could be a good idea.

I think it means that you need to love yourself more to be able to enjoy the time that you spend alone that’s first. Maybe you also need to be patient until you find the right people that you’ll not feel lonely among them. You need to work on yourself- learn new things, try meditation & yoga and try to find things to wake up for with passion. Do what makes you happy even if you’re doing it alone just learn to be happy with that until you find the right people without any previous plans. Just don’t forget to love yourself.

There are many things that could be going on to make you feel lonely constantly. First of all, you could just be genuinely lonely. Maybe you have no friends and your family doesn't spend time with you. That kind of loneliness is tough to deal with. But there's also another kind of loneliness. You may have "friends" and a family that's always around, but they can be careless and exclude you. For example, you could have a friend whose judgmental and doesn't understand you. When you don't feel comfortable around the people you're surrounded by, it can feel like you're battling the world alone. Both of these are hard things to deal with.

When you feel lonely all the time, I think it's an indication that you may not be comfortable with your own company. This could be a reflection of low self-esteem or a lack of well-developed interests. Rather than seeing the situation as one that is lonely, perhaps reframe it as an opportunity to discover and learn more about the things that matter to you and how you can work on them.
Of-course, feeling lonely can also be an indication that maybe we need to make an effort to branch out to more people. Calling a friend you haven't spoken to in a while or joining a community activity where you can meet new people could help.
