What do you do when you feel rather lonely?

Question

Sometimes even when I have a huge crowd of friends or family I feel rather alone.. in fact, I feel lonely almost all the time and of course I can't go around telling that to people. It's been happening for a long time now and I just can't make myself happy. I am content with my life, just not so happy with it.

Could this be depression? Because I dont think distracting myself works..

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Dear Moonlit,
one thing's for sure, you're not alone in feeling alone! We all get the feeling of loneliness sometimes. One can be in the midst of a large crowd and still feel lonely. I put my own feelings down to hormones. I try to ignore this feeling when it comes and hope that is goes away but if it doesn't, I pray to God to take this negative feeling away from me. And indeed, after some hours have passed I feel much better. I hope you will feel better soon InshaAllah, I will keep you in my prayers!

Answer 2

Go out alone and see the wonders of the Earth. Reach out to the Mother Nature and you will see the beauty and wonders of life. Make reflections with Nature. Am sure you will seek happiness being in touch with Nature.

God Bless You Always!

Answer 3

I'll agree,, distracting yourself is only distracting you,, the reason you feel so lonely could be because , you have no one ,, Human ,that is , and people need that conection physically, it's like a heart thing , a physical need to feel another heart beat that belongs to you ,, two hearts ALWAYS make one feel complete,, it's a need that is as deep as the deepest ocean,, Love is the only REAL cure , True love that is ,,

It's worth talking to your doc about......could be mild depression, or an indication of something more serious to come.....or as others suggest, you may just need to find someone "special" to share things with......if you are Content but not Happy, you are not really Content. I agree that you can't go around telling EVERYONE how you feel, but how about one special person....a good friend.....

Answer 6

loneliness can b coz of our perception.some people's life is full of the crowd and bustle and they don't think it makes them alone but cheer them up and make days alive.but some others think the opposite.despite friends/family or bustles,still they think they r alone/lonely.in my mind,it may be coz of some kinda problem they encounter but they can hardly tell it to anyone even to their closest ones.depressions?most people in this world face this problem due to complex problems in life.
what can you do?all i suggest;
*share what you're through with your trusty one(s) like best friend(s) or family.sharing makes you relieved and free from a burden.
*get yourself close to the Lord(Allah) in spiritual worship to Him
*keep yourself busy with people and positive stuffs for the specific targets n aims in life
*don't worry,b happy and don't b alone/lonely in this world.even if we still feel alone,we're not the only ones who feel so:)

Answer 7

I think it's all part of being human , we can feel ,happy sad , depressed , stimulated ,not stimulated , all kinds of thing ,it's a matter of dealing with it or not. But when all this becomes unbearable we're in trouble. Get help,it's not a bad thing.

Answer 8

What are you missing? Something must be missing in your life for you to feel this way, exam your life closely perhaps you need only to develop and interest of your own, something that belongs just to you?
Just a guess.

Answer 9

I often feel lonely. But, most times I find that I feel that way because of my own selfishness. Because I am looking for ways to please myself. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, go and do something for somebody else. You soon will find, that when you do for others you are surrounded by friends who want to be with you. I might sound like an ******. But, I don't believe in depression. I believe that those who say they are depressed are only looking for attention. They want somebody to feel sorry for them.

Praise be to Allah.

keep on this du'aa'

It was reported from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No person suffers any anxiety or grief, and says:

اللهم إني عبدك وابن عبدك وابن أمتك ناصيتي بيدك ماض في حكمك عدل في قضاؤك ، أسألك بكل اسم هو لك سميت به نفسك أو أنزلته في كتابك أو علمته أحدا من خلقك أو استأثرت به في علم الغيب عندك أن تجعل القرآن ربيع قلبي و نور صدري وجلاء حزني وذهاب همي

(O Allaah, I am Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your female slave, my forelock is in Your hand, Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every Name belonging to You which You named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or You taught to any of Your creation, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur’aan the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety)’

- but Allaah will take away his sorrow and grief, and give him in their stead joy.”

And it was reported that Asmaa’ bint ‘Umays (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to me: “Shall I not teach you some words to say when you feel distressed?

(الله الله ربي لا أشرك به شيئا)

(Allaah, Allaah, my Lord, I do not associate anything with Him).’”
