Instead of focusing on yourself.. find a way to focus on others. Get out and meet other people.. find a way to bring happiness into their lives.. hospice - nursing home - be a story teller at a local library - find a church and also join a study group ..
Help during times when disaster strikes..like Katrina..
Find some hobbies.. join a club..
Singles group..

I too, feel this loneliness you make reference to sometimes, only I realize that people do not fill an empty space. I am surrounded by family and friends who love and care about me, and I them, yet the loneliness comes upon me some days. It is indeed possible to feel lonely in a crowd of people and perhaps that should tell us something. I have learned to embrace this feeling, although it is a sad and sometimes painful one for some. I let the emotion move through me feeling it in its entirety and sometimes it makes me cry. Sometimes, just asking out loud (when no one else is around), why am I feeling this way brings about some surprising answers and sometimes nothing. One thing is for sure though, feeling any kind of emotion we don't want to feel is advantageous in the fact that once it has passed, and it will eventually, we appreciate feeling better. We appreciate life and the people in (or not in) it. It gives us another perspective on how things are and how things could be. Perhaps the purpose of emotion is purely for the state of reflection, I'm not sure. It also gives you a chance to entertain Angels unaware, like you have so done in posting your question, for there will be many who will post here who feel and have felt as you do, with an earnest and heartfelt desire to try and help. :)

Whenever you decide you can get rid of the loneliness. I wonder the way you ask the question, if you are able to see with your own eyes. If you are then you are amongst the many blessed ones. You may have several ineterests to keeo you engaged-find the activities you like. For example, I like walkiing and in situations of argument/ quarrel I walk away from the scene and keep walking till I am calmed down and normal. In your case something else might work. You need to give yourself some time to think about your likes and your further actions to overcome the loneliness if you want to get rid of it- you WILL. After all they say, time is the best healer and experience the best teacher.

Make your goals, ones that don't include others but for yourself, by yourself. The rest will come, a little accomplishment goes a long way. and MUSIC! Its a great healer. In terms of finding someone- don't look and they will show up! When I stopped looking I actually found my true love on a So Cal fwy!19 yrs and we're still hot. The others were nothing till I found someone to laugh with. If you participate in things you like you'll find others to interact with that have similar taste and interests, so even if its a trip or a class or a show its a start! Good luck!

When I'm depressed, I cannot answer this question. But I feel good enough to say this; embrace it, enjoy it. Just the category that you placed it in, makes me want to think and dream and create... even if I can't create, I like to dream.
Some day you will get someone to be with, and unless you and the other person are very patient, you will wish sooooo bad that you were alone again. I have been there, my friend. I now enjoy my freedom of 'loneliness'....hehe

Dude, I used to feel the same way on a daily basis. Lonely, bored, and sometimes just wanting to be around anyone just for there company. But I've come to find out that we are our own worst enemy. We seclude ourselves from everything and think that love, happiness, and fun is gonna come knocking at the door. You have to take that initial step. Make that first move. You take one step karma will take two, its just how life plays out. You have no control over certain situations, but you still have the choice rather you want things to work out a certain way. Always remember EVERYTHING is a choice. Its up to YOU rather you make the one that will benefit you and push you to the next level. Peace! Be Good.

The only way to solve your problems is to contact Dr. Phill he should be able to solve any issues you may have with loneliness. Other than that I would sit down and seriously consider how you found yourself in such a depression. Then I would evaluate your options and find an answer that is opposite your frusteration.

Try to realize that you are your thoughts. Thoughts have power over the way you feel on a day to day basis. Try acceptance and gratitude...find what your passion is and run with it with all your energy, when you are up or down...some of my best life affirming moments and motivation have occurred when I had thought I had had just about enough.

Go in the closet and pray to the one who made you, the one who knows you, the one who has the power to destroy you or bless you, based on your response to Him. His name is Jesus Christ.
He was perfect, He was God in the flesh, and the people he loved whipped him and crucified him on a cross, for loving, for healing, for teaching, for ressurecting, for rebuking, for not being like them. YOU will die someday, and so will I. I have come to a place in my life that I need to believe in something. You are there now. You were made to have relationship with the God of the Bible. He hears your prayers. Tell him your heart, tell Him about your problems, He cares for you, Yellow Apple. Be honest with Him. Then learn of Him. He says take my yoke upon you, for I am gentle and humble in spirit, and my yolk is easy and my burden is light. Ask Him to enter your life, to make his presence known, to fill you with His love, seek Him while He may be found.
You are filled with loneliness? You seek relief? Call 1-800-Need-Him, and tell one of these Holy Spirit filled believers your needs, as they are familiar with God's words and can point you to Him, that is, a corect response to Him, how to get his attention. I will pray now for you, that you may find Him and find eternal peace, brother.

Mr Curious got it in one: when you do something for someone else!
This can be anything - smiling at someone in the street (most people smile back!) - it makes you feel good and the other person feels better too.
PS: Smile - not grin/stare.... There are many times that are good for this: a supermarket - mother with screaming child (smile in sympathy!)
GOOD LUCK - here's a smile for you... :)
