Why are we alone?

Question

Is there anyone who knows why we feel lonely although there are a lot of people with us?

Answer 1

That only happens when you are with lonely-hearted people. Whenever you experience this feeling, it means you need to sprinkle your life with a fresh, bright array of new faces. Trust me.

Answer 2

You are not lonely.
Try homesick.

"I'm kind of homesick for a country,
to which I've never been before....."
Words of an old song.

Is there a longing in the feeling you call loneliness?
Is your loneliness filled with people?
Could you go camping or do some project by yourself and not miss company for days or weeks?
Then try homesick.

Your child needs something it isn't getting. If you can ID this feeling, or where it is coming from, you will have a major revelation in your life.

The child is father of the man. Think back on being homesick.as a child. As an adult you need to be kind, considerate and responsible to the child that is within you. The two of you must grow and journey together or one will die and one will cry.

I trust that what I have said really helps to answer your question. For me your question was resolved more than 30 years ago. It proved to be one of the most significant things in my internal existence. It took place in a few minutes as I was developing film in a dark room.

In finding out that I was not lonely, but homesick, I could see part of myself traveling over time from decades past to the present. The two of us have walked together since and, thank God, I am neither homesick nor lonely.

Answer 3

The feelilng of loneliness is due to self as well as society. People do not want to communicate with others due to selfishness, status, jealousy, hatred, oneupmanship, colour, religion, age group, sex etc., A few of these combined also act on an individual not to communicate with others. But it can be seen that there is a lot of scope for togetherness too from among the qualities mentioned above. Social relationships are entirely in our hands since everyone has clearlly spelt out interests.

Well now this interesting, someone who doesn't lie about what they are thinking. Or at least I hope not, because I'm going to give an honest opinion.
Speaking for myself.
I know it's odd to say I feel alone even when we are surround by people. But I don't always feel wanted where I am. In fact sometimes I just want to disappear. But I know that if I do that then a great dark force has won the battle. I think sometimes we forget that GOD is right there with us Or if we don't believe, we forget that someone else is always watching us(not in a weird way), waiting for us to make our move on life. Then they will not be afraid to do what they have to. See I know this because I all to often wonder why I feel alone in my life(even with my wife and children + one on the way). I know that it leads to feelings of failure, loss, even fear. Now I have a solution for myself: I just look at my family or if I can't at the time of loneliness. Well then I lean heavily on my faith. But I'll be honest sometimes it seems almost impossible to get through the day. Anyway enough mumbling. Please just remember your not alone at least not if you open yourself up to something more.........

Answer 6

I think loneliness is when you feel disconnected. If you are surrounded by people you can't relate to then there is still no connection. In fact, being around people you don't feel close to actually feels lonelier than being alone. It's alienating. You feel like an outsider...

Answer 7

we feel lonely because we're alone in our heads. we can't transfer our emotions to another person and thus we truly share an experience with another person. the only way to solve this (currently) is through communication. you have to learn to share your experience and learn to understand someone else's experience.

Answer 8

there is an old adage that says
"hell is other people"
it's a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation
good and bad in all things.....
humans are a social being-we seemingly crave/need/require some social setting ....however, with "others" , there is the possibility of anger, disagreement, discomfort...all the ills of society...

ultimately, we are unique individuals in a social setting...

Answer 9

Good question.
My thoughts took me through a long chain of reasons beginning with 'unable to mix' and ending with 'selfishness'.
