Why is there so many people in the world yet we all get lonely?

Question

I realy don't understand how we can have so many people yet still be lonely

I read all these things on the net about being lonely, how do people meet and make friends

Answer 1

Because we are all different.

Answer 2

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a foot step.
People could be lonely because
1. the love they love or the person they have feelings for, either when far away or died.
2. You are lonely because you are missing somebody in life
3. that person could be ur spouse. or fiance

come to know how people meet online
there are several sites there for you to explore
1 yahoo personal. people connect and get married through there
2. www.tagged.com, and some other that valuable sites

Answer 3

I really don't know!

I find it hard to make friends, people are so unfriendly nowadays and there really isn't many opportunities to bond.

Plus because of the world in the state it is in it is hard to approach people as we are unsure if they will hurt us.

I believe if the world was the way it once was where people said hi and didn't ***** constantly and hit and abuse others then there would be a lot less loneliness x

Answer 4

Good question...I think some people find it easier to have total control over their relationships for whatever reason and therefore making cyber friends is ideal, yet it still leaves a gap in our lives for real friends.
Some people dont have the social skills others do and may it difficult to make or keep friends, internet friends being the easier option

Answer 5

Listen to people like fivetoze if you want to be lonely, he gets his understanding of people from sociology books, instead of going out and meeting people.

I think the most lonely people live in the cities; when I have lived in smaller towns, I have found it easier to meet people as they have a little bit more time, and you are likely to meet them again. In cities, you can make friends, but then it is harder to maintain that friendship unless you live close to them.

Answer 6

I think everyone is trying to impress each other with material things and that is not where it is. Getting together and having fun is the best part of a friendship. Laughing and being yourself is great. Read the book the purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren, it is addicting and sooooo informative on this subject.

Answer 7

u can be in a room with 1000 people,yet you all hold different ideals and thoughts etc.This is not to say you can't still get along.
So just talk to other people,explain where your coming from,even to strangers.And learn from eachother.Thats a good way to find more friends.
Otherwise join a club in your area of interest,or play a sport,or go to church.But being alone is always bad either,i don't mind it.
But you need a balance.

Answer 8

Sometimes you just have to step out of your box, take a chance, do things you wouldnt normally do. Go to social places. You will meet someone that way. It just takes a little time and effort to meet new people and make new friends.

Answer 9

I totally agree i don't understand it either though sorry, i think the best place to meet people is on the Internet (safe sites only such as yahoo answers)! and just out and about in town. sorry i can't be of more help this time maybe next time.x

Answer 10

We're afraid to reach out, because we might get hurt or look dumb.

Thinking about it, most of the people I know I met through other people...all starting from a small group of friends. I wouldn't call them friends but that's because I didn't want to, again, risk it. So that's one way

Answer 11

Because 99.9% of these people are strangers and you will never speak to them. People are often unsociable around strangers its is usually only when someone breaks the ice or some common situation (eg job interview, delayed train new neighbours etc) is presented that people start talking to strangers and either decide
1. i dont like them
2. i dont mind them
3. i like them
