When Do You Feel Most Alone?

When I saw this post it caused me to pause for a moment and really consider it. I do not have siblings and spent a fair amount of time alone growing up. Although my Mom compenstated for that by being the den mother for the block and making sure I had a good social network. However, I think being an only child gave me a really high comfort level with being alone. To me there is a difference in being alone...but not lonely and that is how I feel most of the time. I've been happily married and with the same Sweetie for 17 years but still value my alone time. As I go back and think about lonely times I think you said it quite well...whenever I do not feel connected to something bigger than myself. When I do not stay in touch with loved ones and special friends...or when I become too busy to include meditation and quiet time to reestablish my spiritual connection to Source. When those connections weaken because I'm been too busy or outwardly directed I tend to feel 'spiritually lonely.'

I feel lonely on my every birthday.My birthday is on June when all of the exams come.All of my friends,including me,are busy with preparing their exams.So they always forget my birthday,let alone a surprise bithday party.I always received the gifts and dalayed HAPPY BIRTHDAY severl days later.Beside I have to review my lessons when I feel so lonely.What a misery.

I wish I can have a sunny disposition too and a very positive outlook in life.I am a cheerful person before but something happened along the way and I ended up being this embittered and hot tempered person. I want my cheerful and spirited self back but I don't know how.I feel alone when I have problems and I feel like I have no one to turn to.Sometimes I psyche myself and tell myself that everything's gonna be okay and that the world will smile down upon me one day.I just feel so alone when I have problems and I see people around me who seem very happy.

Hi sr0415! I guess when I feel that nobody or no one agrees in what I am trying to do or say, that makes me feel so alone. And I always try to think that this feeling will pass and it is only temporary, people will realize and understand it sooner or later. But I really don't mind it so much anymore because somehow I need to believe that amidst of it all, I need to know I can stand on my own, believe in myself and in my convictions and somehow make it through. And I know deep in my heart I was never alone all those lonely times in my life for GOD is with me all throughout even though I nag HIM all the time.Haha...Have a nice day and take care dear!

I am surrounded by people who love me, but like you, I sometimes feel very alone. It happens mainly when I become sad or angry about something and no one understands why I feel that way. You know, a lot of times I get self-centered and self-reliant, but for some odd reason those are the times I feel the most unalone (I'm not sure if that's a word). I don't know why I feel that way.

whenever i feel sad or happy whenever i see couples happy whenever i wanna share my feelings to someone very close to me whenever i wanna cry on some one's shoulder when ever i go to seaside in night i feel very very lonely

the very last time i felt lonely was when my sister left town and my closest girl friend left town as well after her college graduation. my parents are away so its my sister who took good care of me before but when she decided to go out of town i was left alone. i really felt so sad and so alone and timing, i had a lot of problems that time so i felt like the world is on my shoulder. i don't know how to solve or to make things okay. thank God I got over it. all of it. now, it doesn't really saddened me if i'm alone most of the time 'cause im used to it already. me and my sister still has constant communication and i miss her alot.

Now a days the spells of lonely feeling has decreased much . But still there come some moments when I fee lonely ,and that happens when my child and wife are out for a few days . Another situation inflicting lonelyness is when i fail to accomplish a task due to confusion and none can help me .

well , i also feel alone so many times in my days . but enjoy feeling alone .... because that time i think there is no one to help me for anything which i have to do . and i try to make me strong to face all situation . thats all ...

I feel most alone, oddly enough, when I feel something akin to God's presence, or when I'm in to say the least, a spiritual mood... I feel like there just aren't many people who understand God, and the relationships between God, Love, truth, and the unity of all things. It is when I think on this things that a bittersweet loneliness overcomes me.

I know how you feel! Sometimes I feel MOST alone in a crowd. When I know no one there understands me, or laughs at the same stupid things I do. usually, if I feel I am someplace with a bunch of people and no one would notice if I left... I usually leave. i'd rather actually BE alone, then be with a bunch of people and feel lonely.

As of now i have not felt loneliness in my life.Iam surrounded by loveable family members and true friends who cares me a lot.If i have some problem and if it could be shared i will get relief and never have to feel loneliness.I pray god even in near future i must have these loveable people so that i never get trapped into a loneliness.

I felt most alone when times my daughter had left me with his dad. Not even asking permission or anything to inform me that she will be staying with her dad. It's the most vulnerable unforgetable thing for me....................She left but her father told her to put some sleeping pills on my coffee so i could sleep and they can leave freely. Of course i did not know that will happen............her dad used money to encourage her to do it. Since she is the only daughter that i have........i was thinking to quit from work, find an institution i could stay and devote my time for free services. It's a place of no return the way i felt. That i worked and lived hopeless then. Why there are people who could not talk straightly or honestly?

i feel most alone when my kids go to bed,and my husband works late.so thats when i will just go on my computer and not think about all the noises i hear lol.

I am much the same, I have friends I can share with but I must admit the times I feel most lonely is when things go wrong, small things and I feel there is no-one there to share my angst with or my fears, I am a very independent person and hate asking for help and this does not help, I guess we all feel alone at times even people with lots of family arounf them, I guess it is an inner thing...

I have not felt alone for a very long time, not since I became a mom and always have someone in my life. She is my pride and joy and I am proud to be her mommy.

hai.... To the point what do you know if we fell happy but our heart fell lonely??? I 'm fell alone when i at middle city but no one introduce our name

yes i often feel i am alone.when i sit in my office room alone,i will feel there is only one person in the world.so i go outside to make myself not feel lonely.i have few friends in the city i live,so most time i can not find friends to chat.maybe internet and telephone are good tool to resolve lonely problem.but some times when i call my friends ,i really feel they are further.
