How often do you feel lonely?

Me? A lot more than I should.. ha. I mean, given that there is a difference between feeling lonely & feeling alone, some times I just feel both. Right now, I want to talk with someone & just talk the night away.. preferably in person, and the people that I want to talk to & hang out with are either already asleep or busy doing things with their significant others. -sigh- Speaking of which, around 90% of my friends are already engaged in a serious relationship & have that person living with them, while I'm just sitting here, on Basilmarket.. ._.

How about you guys?

I usually feel somewhat alone, but not lonely to the point that it bothers me. If you need someone to talk to, you can talk to me.

I feel alone every day all day even though I'm around people, there are just so many fake friends nowadays and all they do is talk behind each others back but act so friendly face to face, almost all of them do it and I'm not the kind of person to say anything behind someones back, if I have a problem with you I will tell you to your face and try to work things out, some times I wonder how I got myself into a group of friends like this.. I guess that one saying is true "keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer" I don't feel I should be the one to tell them that they're all doing it to each other constantly, it's not my place

I do once in a while But I'm working towards being happy on my own. While it's great to hang out with people, you can't expect someone to be there for you 24/7. You're with yourself 24/7 so you should do things to keep yourself happy.

[quote=RitoPls]I don't really ever feel lonely. I usually feel content. However, right now I'm feeling particularly lonely.

One of my two best friends is getting married next weekend and she's only 9 months older than me. She's been super busy lately so we don't really talk anymore.

My other best friend just started college and he puts school way ahead of me. I wish someone had told me this was going to happen, because I would never put school in front of my friends. Oh well. So ya, I don't even want to be his friend anymore; he has become a type of person that I hate.

Aaaaaaaaaaand broke up with my [online] girlfriend.

So ya, pretty darn lonely lately. It's okay though! I have my cat, ice cream, and all of my high school friends to cheer me up. [/quote]
Yep, pretty much how it is with me too, 'cept my friends don't necessarily put school before me, just they're always extremely busy with that & a lot of other things so we can never really hang out all too much at all like we used to, and I think that's sad because I love my friends very much ;/

@Bikramjeet10 Thank you! & yes, I do know precisely what you mean.. like I have SOME things to keep me occupied, but I just wanna spend some quality, nice time with my friends, you know? Without interruption.. just spending the weekend with them but they all have mates, moved out of state for school or a better life or just simply moved away for school, so I'm left here alone with almost no one to see like I used to. I just miss the old days where we were all always together..

@BBD Yes, that is actually a good idea. See, I post somewhat on Facebook, not all too much, aha. Then there are those people who never respond to my messages when I wanna chat.. I mean, I never message them a second time because there are always two reasons as to why someone doesn't reply to you, and it's either 1)They are too busy to talk at that moment or 2) They just don't wanna talk with you at all):
Hahah & I've somehow convinced myself that's it's always the latter so I never EVER message someone a second time because I don't wanna be "that guy" that's super annoying & doesn't leave them alone, know what I mean?

Funny enough, I only feel lonely when the prof goes "talk to your partner and discuss blahblahblah".
Otherwise, I like being by myself.

Okay most of these respond is stupid. He doesn't need a GF or a BF.

Here is what you do. Be more social and talk to your best friend.
You don't have one? Be more social and more people will talk, in this age share stuff on facebook (be transparent) and a lot of people will know you and those who like you will be your friend.

Its that feeling where you feel you're alone and everyones up against you but in reality you have lots of things in your life where you dont feel lonely but you do. Do you see where Im getting at? I can relate because people tend to say im an social awkward kid but where as in im not some girls im just so comfortable about where as in some girls im not. The point is everyone feels lonely and will feel lonely until they aren''t alone I understand how you feel and I can assure you that you are not alone in this. BUT, you'll find someone who'll make you happy thats what I think everytime I feel lonely and even thinking that doesnt completely fill the void but having that thought everyday in my head keeps me motivated that one day il be something and that one day Ill have someone I love beside me aha. Anyway you're not alone and I assure you that. Find something that motivates you to not feel lonely is the best advice I can say and people that say they've never felt lonely are scrubs because everyone once in their lifetime feels lonely and if they say they dont they're just lying to make themselves feel better. Goodluck man I hope something fills that empty void in your heart

Ever since my grandma died AND my girlfriend dumped me at the same time (2011) it's been different. I also kind of feel like lots of pressure is put on me, because some of my friends kind of look up to me or follow me around a lot. But mostly since 2011, I've been feeling lonely/feeling alone. Then my dog died August 16th this year.

@Nashi, @xdarkshynobi, & @qwedsa87 Thank you guys.. thank you guys so much for those kind & uplifting words that you have bestowed upon me. & @xdarkshynobi, I will definitely try out what you have suggested, though I have personally never meditated before.. but I used to pray every single night. It's just that with all the things that's been going on recently & here at home that I just.. stopped.. because I stopped believing. Not that I lack a sense of responsibility, but rather.. where is "He" when you need Him most? Hahah, when no one else is there, you know?

@Mageklan Oh, so I see. You seem a little lost.. I'm sorry.. but don't give up, okay? Because you have a lot to live for & a lot to look forward to, I'm sure, so just.. keep looking! I know you're tired, I know you're exhausted, but at this point in time when things like this happen.. it's most important to find inner peace within yourself to be able to move forward.

I wish you & everyone else in this thread that's been having issue in their lives well.

[quote=DemonDausu]This. This is exactly it, almost word for word. Even the thing with breaking up with your girl.. 'cept mine was the one to let go back in February. My friends are absolutely invaluable & irreplaceable, but it's just when you go from talking to someone every single day, spending time with them, thinking of them day in & day out, planning things with them to absolutely nothing.. no more talking, no more seeing that person, it's becoming painful to think of them, no more of that daily routine that the two of you have performed & engaged in for so long. Yeah..

That void of emptiness inside of you that just refuses to fade, and you constantly tell yourself that you don't know what it is.

I know that feel, man. I know that feel.[/quote]

I mixed up my words a little, it was her who broke up with me too! And it happened in february too! What a coincidence. Thing is, I`ve gotten over her, it`s not that I miss her, but something is different about me and I just can`t fill myself anymore. I`m definitely having an identity crisis right now and it has been going on for so long already, i`ve grown so tired..

Not really, I'm the type of person who has to retreat after social gatherings.
I enjoy being alone doing my own thing. But I know what you're going through the angst and depression builds up, you'll get through it.

Honestly, i think you should meditate. Connect with yourself. You are separating yourself for your conscious. It may seem a little loppy, but there is a reason why people pray, and why monks meditate. You have to accept yourself, for everything. If you are lonely tell yourself I am lonely BECAUSE... No one else can hear your thoughts except yourself.
My thoughts go to you and your struggle.

OT: When i am running alone doing my morning cardio, or in my backyard lifting weights alone. I tend to feel lonely. After all, No one can help you stand up, if you don't give yourself a chance.

Relax, you'll be fine. You'll find your type of girl eventually

and I feel quite alone during workdays. Other than that I feel more trapped than lonely. xD
I guess I feel kinda lonely considering how many friends I've lost and all. Much less people to talk to every day now but I also sorta lost interest. So it's fine I guess xD

Take your time, you'll find people to hang with soon enough. Just get out there more or have your friends introduce you to their friends (that they know have more time). Things'll change eventually

A few times a day. Most of the time I can just shake it off when it comes creeping up on me, but sometimes it just sucks. A lot.
