Feeling lonely for no reason at all..

Once in a while, I get this overwhelming feeling of loneliness for no reason at all. The last time I felt it after a long time, was the morning I turned 60 years old nearly two and a half months ago..
This afternoon, this feeling came back..But I let it stay as long as it wants as I know that it is impossible to know happiness without knowing loneliness. And it's impossible to know peace without knowing chaos..
So, go ahead loneliness, make your day because tomorrow is mine...
Have you ever felt lonely for no reason at all? What do you do when that happens?..

I live alone. I fight loneliness by keeping myself busy with work until I get tired then sleep.

Yes, keeping busy helps push aside lonely feelings ..

@SIMPLYD .. my equivalent to praying is to go deep inside of me where I take comfort.. and wait for that awful feeling to pass ..

Yes, I am and when loneliness strikes me without any reason, I pray hard, I think I just need prayers and I surpass this stage. I read it in a book that if we feel lonely without a cause, it is due to hormonal imbalance, I think it's true.

Yes, I've read about hormonal imbalance too .. But sometimes it's more than that ..

I also experienced this feeling without no valid reason.I just felt the missing of someone that made my hours lonesome. What I did, I converted my feeling to other thing by listening some nice tunes in YouTube, and it did help me restore the normal beating of my heart.

I am pretty much impervious to loneliness but that is just how I seem to be wired.

@JohnRoberts John..I am like you a lot but do get some melancholy with memories and all..but my son..he matches you to a tee my friend..an only child and impervious to the world and the disdain is there.
He needs no one to entertain him in any way, shape or from..very resilient.

@epiffanie You have to be an only child with a disdain for people and happy to entertain oneself.

Yes, it's weird sometimes when it happens in the middle of a happy gathering..

Even worst than just feeling lonely, is being surrounded by people who make you lonely.
That's a great perspective though -- to just accept it! So as to truly appreciate happiness when it comes.
I know my day is coming. I just hope it comes sooner!

@bounce58 yes indeed .. the environment and what's in our environment is definitely a huge factor in how we feel..
Yes, loneliness will soon pass.. something to look forward to ..

@epiffanie Yes once in a while I too have experienced it.But though I may think there is no reason ,after a time I become aware of the reason for that feeling of loneliness.

Being alone does not cause me loneliness because I love solitude ..But feeling lonely even in the middle of a happy surrounding is weird .. But yes, writing about it definitely helps ..

@epiffanie Aside from what you mentioned, is it maybe because you missed someone? I feel like that too when I'm missing sombody

I've heard a lot who have the same testimony. It has never happened to me though. I do get lonely but there is always a reason and when it comes to me, I always just count my blessings and look at the beautiful things and people surrounding me and the loneliness would go away easily.
