On some level I think it is already. Being anti-social causes 1
not to have friends, thereby causing 1 to yearn.
Also beiing in desire of company & not being able to live w/o
people is abnormal in my book.
I prefer to be alone & don't crave company. I'm often lonely &
enjoy it. At those times I entertain myself. It inspires me to find
weird & new ways to have fun alone.

I think loneliness is the bad or empty feeling most of us get from a lack of meaningful contact in someway that relates of human fellow beings this might be a mental disorder if one caused it by their own paranoias or fear of people ...

i think it depends if you can cope with being alone or not. some prefer their own company whilst others fall apart when alone and cannot cope with intanse feelings of loneliness.
i dont think loneliness in itself is a mental disorder but i think it can be a contributing factor of a mental disorder

it depends if loneliness leads to severe depression and you can't focus. It may cause a mental disorder.

Not in itself, but having a limited social support system has been found to be related to many mental disorders including depression and anxiety.

It's an emotion.
Well, your thoughts affect what you feel. If you choose to be lonely, it may lead to depression and may cause insanity to some people. It's when it'll lead to a mental disorder.

let me tell you a little secret. we are all created with a sense to need something. A longing within our heart's. There is this need for affection and love. A void in our hearts.
there is only one person that can feel that void completely and that is Jesus Christ.
He died on the cross for you and me. He is the only person that knows who you really are and what you really feel and what you need. He cares for you. You may feel like you are alone, but believe me God cares for you and He loves you. so when you feel lonely just ask him to comfort you and he will!!!
Revelation 3:20 (New International Version)
20 "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me."

No its an emotional one caused by the fact that most people are so horrible these days its better to be alone, even if it gets lonely.
If you actually are lonely and really are afraid of people or something go to a therapist. Or try to find some outlet . If you want you can email me.

It's not. But if feeling of loneliness is constant, it means something that need to be paid attention to.
