Some may have all- spouse, children and yet they may feel lonely. Have you ever felt lonely? How do you cope with that?

When i feel lonely i make sure i talk to my loved one. It eases the lonliness a bit, but not always. Crying's for ninnies, so that won't help. TATA.

Hi saphie, that is a good idea. What if your loved had a fight with you and you feel lonely, then?

I am so happy for you, as you rightly said you are very very lucky. The hugging warmth of the initial periods should remain till the end of the life, with same tightness....

I had never lived alone, but for myself I want to live alone once in a while.

I had never lived alone all these years. I hate living alone. I enjoyed living alone when I was in college and that is enough for me. Now I don't want to live alone for the rest of my life, let us see..

I don't usually feel lonely, but sometimes, it creeps in. I try and indulge myself in some work or the other or spend time with others more. I also indulge myself in spiritual activities and meditate on God's word to help me cope with it.

I dont know the word. :) Ok - when I was sent to hostels (boardign school) there was this feeling of loneliness. :) I was young, over a period I came to terms with it. Now, it is company that scares me. :) Only an exceptionally patient person can manage to live with me because I am an hopeless case. :)

My mobile phone keeps me connected with my kids. My youngest through my wife's mobile. Strange it may seems but it's true. No matter how much time I've spent with them it is always never enough. And that's why weekends are always special.

Yes, I once felt and experienced being lonely. That was when my whole family went to the US the migrate, I was left alone in my home. It was a very lonely and sad moment. I cried most of the time. WHat I did to lessen my loneliness was had a close friend to live with me and I tried to be busy to forget about the loneliness.

that very true even with a companion, even in the middle of the party, even you spend your day in watching entertainment concert, comedy movies and doing some things just to keep busy. The loneliness exist and one could just felt it when one felt empty whether with companion or not then fell empty when realizing he/she never achieve much. Especially when one have a lot of things or pan to do then dream toward it but no matter one struggles their the progress is so slow no matter one persist it just could not be attain in a fast way. So for me getting lonely when you fail in some of your greatest dream then just realize later on you fail yourself.

Hi vijayanths, i will not be lonely coz ours is a joint family. I have many friends and relatives too. In my house somebody or the other will be there with me. But i can understand the loneliness of others especially old people. My neighbor couples, they have 3 daughters all are settled, since they don't want to stay with the daughters they are staying separately. That lady often calls me for a company whenever her husband go out or to their children. I can't describe her words, she is so depressed about her old age and the problems at old age and with no people around. By hearing her words i feel sometimes that situation should not come to anyone.
