7 Signs You Feel Deep Loneliness

Favor needed! We have been releasing a few videos lately on mental health topics that we feel are dear to our hearts. We're wondering if you could watch those and let us know what you think of them. Also, hope you found this video helpful!

"We don't feel lonely because we never had/made friends, we feel lonely because we DID have friends but their decision was not to continue the journey with us"

I used to think “numbness” wasn’t literal emotional unfeeling. Now, I realize it really is, as I haven’t cried in years despite going through depression, anxiety, breakups, and relative death.

Loneliness is killing me.

I'm so lonely. No gf, no friends, I'm trying but no one cares about me, they just ignores me. It hurts, I see people having fun and enjoying their lives and here I am all alone wasting time doing nothing, what can I do? Sometimes I just go out alone but I feel so weird. I wish I had someone next to me that really loves me 💔

Loneliness is an empty seat at the table It's a cold bed at night It's the sound of silence when you need a friend Loneliness is feeling like you're the only one in the world It's feeling like no one cares It's feeling like you're all alone Loneliness is a heavy weight on your heart It's a sadness that never goes away It's feeling like you're not good enough Loneliness is feeling like you're lost and you can't find your way It's feeling like you're not worth anyone's time Loneliness is feeling like you're invisible It's feeling like you don't matter Loneliness is feeling like you're not worth anyone's love

Loneliness ain’t about being alone. It’s about the fact that if you were to die, no one would really notice you’re gone outside of maybe work or close family circles.

Ironically, we all seem to be connected through our loneliness. Stay strong everyone. You matter!

I relate to everything but the last one for some reason I still care about how people see me and still try to be perfect and I'm doing it well at least how I look from outside is good enough for me

I felt quiet lonely throughout my school experience. my freshman year at college (which was last year) brought me a lot of experiences, emotions, some great people. but the last 7 months or so I've been depressed and I lost touch with some people, nearly isolated myself. throughout this whole time I was aware of what was going on, so I just watched my life falling apart. my anxiety has become ridiculous, I often feel like the most hated person in a group, my insecurities have intensified greatly. it's so painful watching who I've become and noticing how nobody around me gives a damn about me. the contrast with the previous year feels so heavy. I live on my own, so when I return from uni, I end up completely alone with my thoughts. I wish I could say I'm self-sufficient, but I'm broken. I'm 19 and I really hope I'll be a much happier person in my 20s

Yep, been dealing with and experiencing this for years. Went from an A and B student in high school to almost not graduating, dropped out of college because the loneliness was eating me alive. That was 20 years ago, and not much has changed. I've thrown my full focus elsewhere at times like in working out or hobbies or even work, but that never fills the void of wanting to be hugged or feeling human touch. I may feel fulfilled in other aspects in life, but the lack of physical and emotional connection is absolutely brutal.

0:27 1. You feel numb all the time 0:58 2. You can't control your emotions 1:29 3. You feel like you're different from other people 2:02 4. You question the meaning and purpose of live 2:35 5. You're always exhausted 3:10 6. You waste your time doing nothing 3:52 7. You stop taking care of yourself I meet all the points wth Edit: @TentrilliconLP pointed out a mistake I made on 5th point, credits to him Edit: there are a lot of people meeting all checks, so here is a message for all those people: please talk to someone, I did and I have never felt emotionally better even if I'm not at my best yet. If you can, just talk with someone, it doesn't have to be a professional, but just talking about it made me feel better so surely it will make you too, really, it sounds very repetitive but talking is the best and cheapest way to solve these things. And don't you dare to just ignore what you feel, or you may end up like me, emotionally numb, with bottled up emotions and trauma, depressed, diagnosed with anxiety, and mindlessly wasting time so that the weekend comes faster and repeating. Hell, talk to yourself if needed or just post something in the comments section, that helps too. There is nothing wrong with you, people should not judge you based on how you feel, and you should not feel guilty for that either. You can share your emotions without guilt or shyness, **you are safe**. Or maybe I'm wrong, who knows. To you, I'm a random guy on the internet, I'm just sharing my experience to whoever may care, I'm just brave enough to say this because of the power to be anonymous on the internet. Take care and be your own best friend.

Loneliness is not the feeling of being alone,it's the feeling of no one cares for you...💔😩

I am a girl with depression and this is exactly how I am at this moment. My room is a mess, I haven't brushed my teeth and taken a shower for days. I'm just lying in bed all day staring at the ceiling or watching pointless YouTube video's instead of studying, just so I can avoid being around my family who thinks I'm some hopeless case who's lazy. I wish I could cry or be really angry but I feel nothing, like I am some stupid robot. All I can feel is a nagging pain in my chest and a never ending exhaustion.

As an INFJ, I've always felt lonely. But I don't think it's "deep". it's just like a constant background feeling, always felt like no one really understands me and that I don't fit in. 👍 totally agree with point 3, not the others, thankfully 🙂

Thank you Amanda. Your voice actually helps to calm me.

To anyone out there who feels lonely, we as a community will stay with you. You deserve a hug. Hug* :)

I have always felt lonely especially as a kid. I was a painfully shy kid and everybody else in my family was really out going. I remember staying home by myself all the time watching tv and having pretend friends. My big sister was really hard on me because I wasn’t outgoing and out spoken like her and the rest of my family. My family would go places and leave me behind and it was hard being alone. I’m a fully grown woman now but at times it still is a struggle for me I still feel lonely, even if I’m around people. The experience has defiantly made me strong.

This puts a lot of things in perspective for me. Honestly if there is one good thing that came out of my depression then its me getting to know my ownself. The things that I have been dealing with and feeling for years are finally being put in words in front of me and it is making me more and more self aware. This journey I started of getting to know the root of my depression has been worth it so far. I hope to get better one day. 😇
