Depression is manifested both physically and emotionally. The classic physical signs of depression are headaches, fatigue, digestive problems, hyperactivity, sleeping disorders, loss of concentration, and distorted eating patterns.
Chemicals imbalances in the brain can also be either the cause or effect of depression. Dopamine is the chemical that produces anxiety, stress, nervousness, and aggression. When the level of dopamine is ELEVATED, a person may develop feelings of insecurity, paranoia, and fear. Serotonin is another important chemical in the brain that can affect a person's mental well-being.
A person with LOW serotonin levels displays mood swings, and some sort of compulsion, such as alcoholism, overeating, or being a workaholic, perfectionist, or procrastinator.

I think the reason is that big cities tend to feel impersonal. There are so many more people that no one can keep up with everyone and so it's easy to get lost or overlooked. You don't get any of the stuff like a waitress who knows your name or a crossing guard who worries if she doesn't see you a couple days in a row. Also, people in big cities don't seem to practice as much friendliness to strangers. They're either in too much of a hurry, or they're exasperated by the crowds or their own stresses, or they just have the mentality of "I don't need to be nice if I won't ever see you again." When strangers are friendly to me, I feel less lonely, so I'd assume that in big cities, that's lacking. I think you're right. It's harder to be lonely in a smaller, close-knit town or community. But I'm sure there are ways to find companionship and friendship in big cities, just probably have to try harder, and try not to succumb to the lonliness.

Loneliness, like sadness, is largely a state of mind. Are you walking around your place saying to yourself "oh..I'm so lonely..." If you are, catch that moment when you are telling yourself that, and tell yourself something positive: "I'm strong .. I can do this", or "I' ll have more friends soon than I can have time for!"
Next; get out and meet some people; any store will do. If they're all closed, just go for a walk. Fresh air and good food will help too.

Lonliness is a state of mind. No matter where you live it's up to you to try not to feel that way. I agree with the other posters. Go out and DO some stuff. If your time is meaningfully occupied you'll never be lonely. Even if you're all alone.

Living in a big city is a stressful life. Big city is cold place, where people compete to make money. Unless you are in the elementary, junior high or high school, people don't really want to make friends in the big city. They might have few acquaintances, but not real close friends that'd help one out no matter what. (unless they met them in school). I live in a big city and most of the friends that I have are my former high school friends. If you have great conversation skills you should be able to adjust and make some friends, but it will be more difficult to do so in a big city.

The thing is we can never be fully satisfied with mundane relationships. We are eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. We have to reconnect to He whom which is seated in the core of our hearts. Chanting the maha mantra (the great mantra for deliverance from illusion and suffering) can reconnect us immediately. Gods name is nondifferent then He Himself. go to krishnaculture. for complete details also stephen-knapp read e-book the Key to real Happiness (very enlivening) we are never alone and when one reconnects to our eternal Friend we are satisfied and happy.

Smile.
People will be more inclined to talk with you and like you if you smile. Smiling attracts like a magnet.
Another trick. When you feel lonely, close your eyes and picture yourself as a magnet. Open your eyes, look around you, and see yourself attracting interest, popularity, and interaction. Especially, try to visualisse this and feel this when you are around people.

Take up a hobby where you can meet people, or take classes at your local community college.
