Do you sometimes feel or believe you are a lonely person though you have contact to other people or you know a lot of people?

Okay, but apart from family does a family replace friends? I mean people share a lot with own family but most people are looking for people beyond the own one.

@TierM38 nice topic: I think everyone feels lonely at times, especially in these times when people have a lot of contact with others on their screens. That's why I think it's important for me to be outside so you don't feel lonely.

I agree with the notion that family does not replace friends. However, it can provide a certain setting in which life operates.


Having two little minions (read: children) comes with a multitude of activities and social interactions. Combine this with the pressures of demanding and fast paced work (and a variety of other activities) and one is simply yearning for a moment to just recalibrate.


We do have friends which we speak in ways which go beyond mere surface levels. True connections which merit the label friendship in any given way. Living in the fast lane inevitably means that such interactions may occur on an irregular basis. Fortunately, true friendship is immune to such erratic intervals.

not anymore. Because, feeling, including feeling lonely is something that we can actually control and feelings that we can reduce. There are so many ways and aspects that we can improve to ward off feelings of loneliness (or something missing from us).

Personally, I grew up in a dysfunctional and broken family. Loneliness was my constant companion. Back when I was a teenager, even though I had many friends and was busy with activities, deep down, I still felt like something was missing. I still felt lonely and numb. the feeling growing because of Personally, I was too focused on blaming the people who were the factors that caused this loneliness. yes, there is a mismatch between expectations and my existing reality.

From a psychological perspective, loneliness is not simply the state of being alone, but rather a painful, subjective experience when someone feels their social relationships are not meeting their expectations. It is a feeling of emptiness, being unwanted, or disconnected from others, even when one is in a crowd. they had suggest, to avoid the feeling of loneliness; we can try to improve the quality of emotional connections, not just increasing the number of friends are one of ways to overcome the issue, including finding a support system (family/friends), volunteering, or, if it persists, seeing a psychologist/psychiatrist.

and personally, the more I've filled myself with psychological and spiritual reading, and the more I've busied myself with things related to humanity, the more alive I've felt. The more got distracted by negative thought, negative vibes and be more focus on things that truly make me safe, alive, joy, etc.

If there are people who suffers this, i suggest you to read more book about psychology or spiritual book and seek therapist to ask more advance answer for the issue. at least from that way you will know more about the way (that suits you) to cope it.

just in case this is emotion wheels:

Editado por mayuuram .

I often feel lonely even though like over 10 people call me their friend. The problem is they are just people I know but not people I personally call my friends.

I have like 2 ,, real" friends and that's it. Everyone has their group and I'm everywhere a bit but I'm not really part of one specific group

Scientist found Out, that people have in a wrage have only 3 or 4 heart friends in life. The Rest are known people or "just" Friends that come and Go, but Heart friends are those who folliw you everywhere.

Nah, I don’t think so. Sometimes it’s just my habit to be alone.

I can easily believe that. It's rare to find someone you really click with. Any true level of friendship is very rare, I find. Most people are actually just acquaintances. Hence, the feeling of loneliness, I think. Ten or a hundred acquaintances does not replace even one real friend.

Well, personally, the more of my own preferred level of deep conversations I get, the less lonely I feel in general. Everyday chatter just isn't the same. In general, yeah, feeling lonely quite often, but by this age, I'm rather used to it, so it's ok.

As far I know about - correct me - a friend in Finnland has a high value - not found easily but in case of a real friend.

But to get this level its a high way.

I've read a lot e.g. on Reddit, how hard people suffer under the difficulties to find a friend in Finland. And the old Generation even had the conclusion, that you only find a friend in school. But maybe it depends in which area you live.

I don't think it's quite that bleak. I've found a friend after school. I think it's mostly because I'm very selective. But I suppose there is a culture here where people don't easily talk to each other, so it forms a barrier to the getting-to-know stage. Also, it's hard to get over the first hurdle, since most people here are so cold-hearted they are unable to form true friendships.

Solitude isn't a monster lurking in the dark to eat you up, it's rather a closet where you could hide yourself from the horde of acquaintances. And good news, a few friends can fit into it as well.

Yes, I am!
