You may have everything in the world from friends, family, material things, etc. and with all that and you still fill as if something is missing or have this feeling of void that you cannot seem to fill no matter what, then the one thing that may or is missing in your life is Jesus. Forgive me in advance if I am crossing the line here but a person can have everything they could ever dream of and still not be happy
and only Jesus can fill the emptiness. Try and see.

Lonliness is a terrible feeling I'd say the very worst. The worst kind of lonliness is when you have lots of friends that just do not fill that empty space. You do not say whether you work or whether you live alone? If you do not work then perhaps it is a manifestation of having little to do rather than not having enough people to fill your day. If you work is your work satisfying. Maybe you need a man friend someone to be close to and with. I do hope things get better I could give you the usual advise i.e. join clubs go out more but I guess you already know that. Perhaps you should try a dating agency but of a scary though perhaps but it you give it a try you might just find someone really special. Good luck.

Depends in where the loneliness is coming from is it a root to a more serious problem. Some sort of past trauma can leave you with a void a void that to may never fill, but you can work through. Or maybe be it's just a tempory bad patch that your just feeling low. If you get to the root of why or where this is steming from them you can take a logical approach to things, confornt them and know how and where to get help if needed whatever, even if it's just a shoulder to cry on..... Hope your ok

Maybe you don't feel a real connection with your friends? Or feel like you need sombody who is really close to you and understands you?
I would advise to actively try and become closer to your existing friends, confide in them how you feel, listen to them as well and try and develop deeper and more meaningful friendships.
If it is a partner that is missing then MySpace is always a good place to start! This works for friends as well. It is easier than joining a club etc which can be very daunting.
My housemate and her boyfriend are very much in love after meeting on MySpace.

This question reminds me of a saying
"You can get lonely in a crowd"
To me; being lonely is a deep personal feeling. I think it has to do with not having anyone THERE who is TALKING TO YOU; a one on one kind of thing; but perhaps even more importantly; that they are interested in YOU. Often you can have heaps of acquaintances that say hi etc. but you know that they are only mates to a certain point. I think we all need some genuine one on one connection via the medium of communication. That's the key.

I know the feeling. It might just be that you're lacking special attention from one single person, whether they be a best friend, boyfriend/girlfriend, or whatever. When I was in college I had a best friend that was friends with everyone, whom I didn't want to share. But I had to. Just had to get through it, and it was hell, but somehow, here I am on the other side. I'm not sure if I answered that well, but I hope so!

Sounds like you might be missing the attention of a guy. Its usually that when your friends can't fill that void.
Try joining new clubs and getting into new hobbies. You might just need a change of scenery.

I am sure you have a longing for the Lord. Read the Bible and work on a relationship with Christ Jesus. He is my best friend and also the most powerul being in the universe. What a combination.
