Are you lonely?

Not really actually.

 

I hate to admit that I'm lonely. But I am trying things to bring myself out of my shell. Reaching out to old friends. I've started boxing classes. Joining forms such as this one (this is my first post on here!) Some days are easier than others. Some days I'm just happy to get through the day.

 

yes I am very lonely and things arent going well at times with me. i also have a lot of people in my life but whenever im alone i just get so depressed. my best friend and my outlet left me behind kinda so i dont ahve anyone to go to irl for a hug or a talk. i know theres plently online but i need someone irl. im also longing so much for a relationship with someone i can just cuddle with. im starting to get tired of it

 

Yes, I am so horribly lonely. There is no one for me to love and no one loves me. The only person who truly cares about me is my best friend. We both have mental issues and can talk about anything. But I cant talk to her as much because she goes to a different school, and we're both very busy. She is the only person that I can talk to, and the only person who understands me. I am completely in the closet, (except I came out to my best friend) and I hate it. I would come out, but I'm scared of what other people would say. All these things plus my horrible depression is to much. I hate being lonely, and I hate life.

 

I am alone in many respects, but not often lonely.

 

I'm miserably lonely and don't know what to do about it.

 

Sometimes. I find it easy to get new friends and difficult to keep them. That's partially my fault!

Loneliness is a common problem in society today... at least in my country. So in a weird way I don't feel alone

 

I'm alone, but not lonely. Having a small groups of friends throughout life has made me accustomed to not having many friends, so I don't have the need to see anybody a lot.

 

No. I got used to being alone, and I've actually grown fond of being by myself. I guess the feeling of loneliness died after I left high school, and all the social bollocks it comes with.

I guess I simply overcame the feeling, or simply covered it up enough with goals, dreams and objectives for the future (in other words, distractions) to even care. "There's no time for feeling lonely", says I. "There's lots of things to do."

 

Nope.

But not being around people drives me crazy because there's this lack of external stimulation that causes my brain to work overtime and set off my depression.

So I while I'm not lonely, it would be way better if I were to be surrounded by people.

 

I feel lonely more often than not, but I gave up on finding a friend. It's been like this since my childhood when I wanted a best friend so badly. Let's just say things change.

 

Yeah, a little.

 

I've felt that loneliness in the crowd since childhood. There have been just a few occasions when I felt like I belonged somewhere (one of them- in the company of gay guys ). Other than that I'm a big loner and a bookworm. It's very hard for me to open up,because i somehow expect abuse and betrayal from people,so i kind of live in my own shell.

 

Yeah, constantly.

 

I spend a lot of time on my own, and I don't feel lonely at all. I know that my friends and family are there for me if I need them, just like I'm there for them. That seems to be enough for me.
To be honest, I only got out of a long-term relationship a few months ago. What's ironic is that I've never felt so lonely in my life as I did the time before it ended, even though we were smothering each other.

 

Terribly.

 

No (&&&)

 

No and, I'm so happy I am a part of making sure another of the LGBTQ community isn't lonely anymore.

 

yeah hah

 

Lately yes but i've been trying to go out more to try and fix it. Sadly i'm in love with one of my best friends.
