How often do you get lonely?

Post Reply New Topic

I am always lonely, what can I say. It's not fun.

That is a really good description. I like it.

Like you I don't feel lonely. I do have a couple of friends but I often don't think to visit them. I very often need a push to do so. While I am with my friends I enjoy their company but I'm also happy on my own.

"Sometimes, because I have no social life and should have one."

My lack of independence is the main reason why. It is due to a lack of trust in my skills and others lacking the trust to me.

It's not so bad any more. It's hard to imagine things any other way.

I only feel lonely when I get reminded that all my 12 cousins and my brothers all go out clubbing except me. That makes me feel isolated. But I'm my own worst enemy - I could go out too, with my brothers. They have asked me before and I said no. But it's not entirely my fault that I can't socialise properly and suffer with Social Phobia aswell as being on the spectrum. I don't think I'm mentally built for strong social environments. But often I just wish I was, like everybody else.

I feel lonely only when I'm stuck in a group of people (school, work, etc.) and I feel I am not getting along with them the same way they get along with each other. It is not related to "friendship" but with inclusion in an already existing peer group.

Except in this case, I am usually content with what I have at the moment. If I have people around, fine. If I don't, fine as well - there's always plenty to do and enjoy.

I'd kill just to have someone to be with.

I sometimes feel painfully lonely even though I have a lot of "friends"/acquaintances and family. I CAN talk to a lot of them on a regular basis if I really wanted to, but somehow the idea doesn't interest me much lately. And when I DO want to talk to someone, they're never online / asleep / at school / at work :/ The problem with having a HUGE social circle... on the other side of the world.

I said very rarely - despite not having a social life. Most of the time I prefer being alone, and only a few times in my entire life have I actually felt lonely, and wished that I wasn't alone.

I do seem to have a desire to be understood, and appreciated (which I don't completely understand myself?) But if people could understand and appreciate me from a distance, without any personal interaction whatsoever, I'd be completely satisfied with that. (Like if they appreciated something I wrote, or created.)

That's probably really weird, but it's how I feel!

I don't seem to get lonely anymore which is fine by me. I used to get lonely so I know how it feels but luckily I just became content to spend my days alone now.

I chose "Sometimes, because I have no social life and should have one".


I have no friends at my high school or community and I'm thinking of starting to go to church, I'm that desperate.

Working out too.


I don't actually feel lonely all the time, but I feel determined to be part of something and I will doggedly pursue this ideal.


But I do actually feel loneliness sometimes.

But since I don't have any friends (except for my one acquaintance from childhood), I dont mind doing things alone.

I feel most lonely when i'm around/near a lot of people, but on my own i can feel really lonely too, so it doesn't matter much for me, i just feel lonely a lot.

I dont have social phobia but Im lonely. i mean i talk to people but like many people on the spectrum it feels so superficial and I cant get into any meaningful relationships. I keep sitting down alone and try to study people. I have been doing that for years and I have come to a simple conclusion after many years of trying to study human social interactions:

NTs have a difficult time trying to connect with us autists in as much as we have a hard time connecting with the NT world.

Thats an interesting conclusion :o But yes i've noticed the same over the years, also online people have trouble understanding what i mean at all, they're nice *i mean the people that i talk with* but they can't understand, so i talk with them about other things that both of us can relate to, for me NT's are just as oke as people on the spectrum but you really need to pick the people you talk with though, that has been my experience with it. Its all trial and error i suppose :S

I actually feel really lonely right now and am having obsessive cycles right now. I want to meet people, but I get REALLY obsessive and anxious.

I feel very lonely

Especially since i have a kid and i have to need knowledge about social cues from other mothers for eg. when i have to visit his school i go all alone and it scares me i get confused about which room the orientation would be, i get confused with what questions to ask the teacher and since i am not able to befriend people i am unable to get my son's books completed before exams and most of the time his books are incomplete.

My office colleagues dont interact much with me, they are nice but somehow i am the odd one out and due to this reason i dont understand whats happening in office most of the time i am left out.

In my colony also I am left out most of the time i just sit alone and brood over my loneliness

My hubby's cousin's dont like me and so i stand cut off from them also.

Overall many people out there are able to fool me due to my simpleton nature I am tricked and conned most of the time.

I am a butt of jokes and people laugh at me on my face and many times behind my face
