feeling lonely when you're by yourself, or feeling lonely when you're with your spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/significant other?
For me it would be feeling lonely with a significant other.

Definitely feeling loney with spouse. At least if you are by yourself, you can usually find something to do and you don't have worry about the other person wanting to do the same thing as you. Plus if you're lonely with your spouse, that usually means something worse is going on. You can't talk to each? There's a problem....

although I haven't experienced feeling lonely with a significant other. The whole point of significant othership is a companion to share a bit of life with. If you're on you own and feel lonely, find a friend.

I don't have much of a problem with loneliness, and never really have.
I enjoy people, I've always been able to make friends fairly easily, but I also have learned how to enjoy my own company and I do like my private time.
I think it would be frustrating and sad to be lonely with a spouse or significant other. That would suggest other and bigger problems.

Feeling lonely with a spouse in my life.

feeling lonely when you're with your spouse/boyfriend/etc, this is the most difficult to cope with. it is because, it's always the significant other from whom you expect companionship, whom you expect that he/she understands you THE most. when it doesn't happen, its depressing and one feels lonely, probably the loneliest ever in life.
This kind of loneliness comes with lots of regrets, guilt and depression. which makes loneliness worse.

I agree. There's nothing worse than being with someone and feeling alone. It makes you feel disconnected from that person & the silence can be deafening.
I'd rather be alone & lonely because there's a lot of things I can do to cheer myself up (good music, good book, good movie).

Feeling lonely with a significant other would be a difficult circumstance, but being alone by myself I would get use to in time. Thanks for asking.

Yes I agree with you.
The loneliest I ever felt wasn't when I was alone. It was when I was lying next to someone who felt like he was worlds away. Living with someone who can't relate to you, doesn't understand you, doesn't comfort you, doesn't seem to care is far far worse than being alone. Alone at least you are in control. When someone else is there who makes you unhappy & you have no control over what they do & they slowly drive you crazy, it's torture. It's like suffocating. It's like drowning.
I ended that relationship & got involved with someone who was on my wavelength. As humans we need to feel connected to feel safe & at peace. When you feel disconnected from someone & you're forced to be there with them, it's a very alienating experience. Being alone doesn't have to be lonely when you love yourself & you enjoy your own company. Most of my hobbies require solitude anyway. Not that I don't enjoy time with loved ones. But I always need a little space to myself. Some independence. Room to write, paint, be creative, express myself.

Not beng of a gregarious nature, I've never had a problem with being alone. Most of the time I prefer my own company.
