that is one of the reasons i became a hermit out in the country. but that comes with disadvantages.

I'm really not. I have lots of people in my life that care about me and so far as romance goes I'm perfectly content with casual sex. In my experience, other comorbid issues are waaaaay worse.

I don't really feel lonely at all. I would like the experience of a relationship simply because I feel it would help me grow as a person. I don't feel a driving need for one.

Am I lonely? Extremely. The only relationships I have are my blood ties to my family. But there's not a goddamn thing I can do about it, so I won't complain. :lol:

Yes, very very much so. :( But not for a relationship as such. Just for someone who doesn't seem to be so... vacant? IDK. And physical contact.

Oh well. There are other things in life, I guess.

I am not sure if mine is the typical experience, but when I was younger, I was extremely lonely. After high school, I eventually became less and less so, and now, I am ok with being alone. I have no friends(at least in person) today and it's ok. I am unsure the cause, but the fact is I have no desire to make friends or socialize. I'd recommend embracing being alone. If you find it's not for you, that's ok, but until you give being alone a real chance, you'll never know how liberating it is.

I rarely get the chance to be alone, but even so, I do get lonely even with a house filled with people. Comes with the depression I guess.

My case is unusual, I think. I'm extremely introverted: I like being alone and I feel much better when there is no one at home besides me. Despite that, I've been feeling very lonely in the last 2 years or so. In other words, I would be perfectly happy if I were in a relationship with a woman and isolated from the rest of society. Yeah, I know: it makes no sense.
Right now, I'm beginning to understand that I'm unfit for a relationship. Lack of initiative, lack of social skills, odd behavior... I don't stand a chance. :wall:

I would say that lonelyness has nothing to do with whether or not you are by yourself. I have felt alone/lonely while making love, while spending time with family or freinds. You name it

I'm lonely every hour ever day. I'm 16, never had a serious girlfriend, and am currently friendless. I sadly, but finally realized how cold hearted the average person is.

*hugs* (if accepted?) Hypocritical to say what I'm going to as I'm only 15, but there's a lot more of the world out there.
