Do you think that some people are lonely for almost all of their lives?

Question

As in, they are friendly but only have a boyfriend or girlfriend once every few years or they only have about 1 friend all of the time it seems. Does depression cause those types of circumstances?

Answer 1

you know what?You are absolutley right. I certainly was a lonely child,teenager,and adult. Of course my adult years arent over yet but I dont see them changing any time soon.I guess I am really use to being alone,because a couple of years ago I had a bf. I moved in with him and everything,and it did not work. I was so use to being by myself I couldnt even get use to sleeping with him.I always needed space.He wanted to cuddle and shet and I hated it. I guess it comes from being alone.I dont know.

Answer 2

yeah, sometimes that happen. I guess it has to do something with your personality, some people must accept that fact and live happily with their lives. It´s their way of living. Others, instead would like to change that aspect of their lives, however they do nothing about it, not even talk with others about that issue. So, they go around their lives living in a frustrated way, always hoping for more, and feeling sad about thei loneliness. If you know someone like this, do no tconfront them directly, instead try to make them attend a counselor, join clubs/ gropus, involve them in other type of activities that at least will bring them some kind of new experiences and points of view.

Answer 3

Some people are depressed but their are also people who just want to be left alone, I did college at age 30, graduated with a bachelor's in social work, worked 6 yrs in the field of psychiatric ailments and after that I wanted to go to the moon. I hate the sound of a telephone, I cringe when the doorbell rings. My husband actually forces me to interact with people by having cook outs at our home. And yes after breast cancer, my dad dying and a really bad case of pneumonia I am on medications. Still I don't want to interact with people. I feel like I have heard it all. People rarely want to change to improve their lives they want someone to agree that their life sucks because of someone else.

Answer 4

yes depression makes you feel like that because u will be thinking and thinking and thinking only in one direction and u r not able to point in another stuffs and not open to others ..so any relationship in this condition will fade off.. thats the main problem...u should join community or take drugs by seeking a doc. best of luch and be happy.

Answer 5

If you are depressed, you are less likely to make friends and boyfriends or girlfriends because you are less social.

Answer 6

Some people learn early to be a loner in order to protect their feelings.the less people you are around the less people that you have to deal with.

Answer 7

My father was, and unless you are in isolation(in a penitentiary), I think the person has chosen to separate himself from society.
