How can I be sure I am lonely?

You are lonely when you feel like you don't want to talk to anyone, when you feel you don't exist in this normal world, when you don't wish to come out of your worries, when you start to think that being alone keeps you better, and finally when you consider yourself an introvert.

when you have no one to talk to about the things that means the most to you. that's how you know you're lonely

When you feel that you are stranded on a island and theres nobody there to talk to and that theres no hope,when you feel alone in a crowd sitting in a corner with your cellphone opening and closing apps just so people think your busy and social but in reality you are merely looking into a void. When you are having lunch with your family but feel like your alone in the room because nobody wants to talk to you so you quickly fisnish to go upstairs and put on your headphones

Lonliness isn't a constant to be sure of. It's a 'feeling' felt when you think you are all alone and there's no one for you.( Concentrate on the word feeling).It's even possible for us to feel lonely even when surrounded by people. Since it's a feeling, it can change with changing situations. So, there's no surety for that feeling. Maybe you feel lonely because apparently, the people who are in your life currently are not able to truly understand and satisfy your idea of a friend, relative or even your partner. However, you could choose to eliminate that feeling, by spending more time with people who truly understand and care for you and give you importance.

When you don't feel at peace with your solitude/ current crowd and think seeking out/ being on your own will make you fell better, you're lonely.

I feel lonely if I don't have anyone to share my ideas with , or to tell them about my day..or feel so distant from others

Having an empty feeling. Having no one to spend time with for days and not thinking you have "friends". When you don't have anyone to trust except maybe your family. It exists in your thoughts and you feel tired and not motivated to do anything at all. Sometimes this can be very upsetting. Some people listen to music or audios to make themselves feel better. Sometimes sad music and audios. There's nothing wrong with liking to spend time alone. Spending time alone and being lonely is different. Anyone feeling this, I hope you are okay and feel free to message me. x

You can be sure you're lonely if you are in solitude and you feel very alone. You are also lonely if you have no companions.

Hiya, Loneliness differs I guess, Some people feel lonely even if there are people around them and some feel lonely if they find themselves alone. Well, it all depends on how much you love yourself and how happy and comfortable you are being alone or around people. Emotions matter too, If you are in a bad state of mind and you need someone to talk to, share stuff and you don't find the right person- I guess that's when you feel the worst.!!!

First of all, you must recognize the difference between being alone and being lonely. You can be lonely in a room full of people. You can be lonely at school, in a classroom, surrounded by friends. You can be lonely anywhere with anyone at any time. I think loneliness reveals itself in your thoughts. If you often feel tired, unmotivated, lacking in optimism for the future, and you find yourself feeling completely outcasted from society, you might be lonely. If you feel as though you have no one to talk to when you're feeling particularly down, you might be lonely. Perhaps, you take long, hot baths or binge-eat - these are also subtle signs of loneliness.

The best way to frame it is that you feel lonely when you don't have meaningful connections to other people. You feel like there's no one you can turn to, who understands you appreciates you for being you. You can still feel lonely among friends or family, if you don't feel their honest care for you and empathy to understand you, like when everyone around is cheerful but you have a bad day - you and them have to be willing to connect on the same frequency, so to speak. If they try to cheer you up but you don't react, you refuse their offer to connect. If they ignore you - they are not willing to connect. If there's no one you can think of you'd like to connect with - in person or online - you'd also feel lonely.

Well, it's an interesting question. First of all, why do you want to be lonely? Why that's the situation with? Lonely means you're all alone. Loneliness exists even if you have family/friends/relationship. It is an evil thing what you feel when you are surrounded by people though you feel you have to fight with your problems all alone, you can't share your things with anybody, you feel emptiness and sadness. Similar to the depression, but the two things are different. Though from loneliness you can easily become depressed. I think if you feel alone and isolated by yourself, you're often alone and the things below i wrote fit on you, then you're lonely. Don't be lonely! Talk to someone from here!

1-When we have supportive family and friends who make themselves available for us but still we feel uncomfortable sharing our thoughts with them, we feel lonely. 2-When people judge us for who we are when all we did was trusted them with our troubles and shared our heart with them but their judgements discourage us and we feel lonely. 3-Being all alone on our own also makes us feel lonely. 4- Our low self esteem and confidence that we are unworthy of love, appreciation and respect lead us to loneliness. Hope my answers helps you to figure out the cause of your loneliness and overcome it.

You know you are lonely when you feel like nobody is around to talk to and you feel like everybody around you is ignoring what you say and do. You see everybody else with friends and feel left out and out of place there. You will notice that you have even become anti-social at points because you feel out of place in any public places. You will feel upset when you realize you have no company around you to support you and just be there with you. At points you can even feel lonely when you are not far away.

An interesting way to look at your question is to look at the events in your life that you examine and see it with clarity. What I mean is to look at it like a reporter covering a news story might observe it. It is a little challenging when you try to look at the facts rather than what you might feel. For example, perhaps you were at a get-together, and you felt left out of people's conversations and that maybe you feel a little lonely because of it. Maybe looking at it as a reporter looks at it, s/he might see you appearing a little distracted and not to seem interested in contributing to the conversation. In this particular instance, what you felt and what appeared to be what you were projecting were utterly different. You see clearly what you see, what you think, and what you amplify. Try it with your questions and see what you think. After all, it is what you think that matters in this instance.

The most assuring source to prove if you are right or wrong, is within you. Think about how you feel. If you feel lonely, then you are lonely. Sometimes people are even surrounded by people and they still feel lonely, but the appearance can be very tricking. If someone feels lonely, then there is something missing in that person's relationships. Whether its massing in our relationship with ourselves or with others, the feeling can still be a good measure. Even there are people who enjoy times being alone, like introverts, but than again they can feel lonely as well at times.

Being lonely is a feeling, more than what is happening around us. We might be surrounded by lots of people and still feel lonely, while we might be alone, and not feeling lonely. To make sure whether or not we are lonely, we could refer to our feelings! Though, there are things that we can examine, like "do I receive emotional support that I need?", "Do I have people around me with whom I feel safe enough to share my thoughts and emotions, without being concerned about getting judged or hurt?", "do we have people around us to have fun with?" Answering questions like this might help, considering that not all of us need these things in the same way and to the same amount, only we ourselves can answer these questions!
