It can feel very challenging to feel lonely. This description is accurate.
I think a spark of inspiration is in the opening of this video, that quotes the wisdom of using loneliness in a constructive way. Often we do need to deconstruct beliefs, expectations, conditioning and ideals to reach a place where preconceived cliches of loneliness arent playing on repeat. We CAN stop that mind chatter, be aware and simply be in the moment where peace always exists.
Im talking as someone who often goes down that, Im lonely road only to wake up at the Im really blessed, fortunate & grateful turn off where being with me isnt bad and in fact is ultimately the reality I seek. Because sometimes, unfortunately, other people can violate, abuse, steal and disrupt your inner peace. Yet people can also be our most rewarding reasons for connection. So theres pros and cons to every situation. Try to focus on the pros of being with yourself, choose it, if it feels like you dont have a choice. But theres no denying that I often, in this modern world where often we can be isolated and independent, that our ancient urges and needs for companionship, simply arent been met.

Im very lonely too. Lonely is down to not having a support network. I have no children or partner. I have 3 brothers but they are all married and just get on with their own lives. They have no interest in how I am at all. Brothers are different to sisters. Sisters tend to be more caring and women tend to try and keep families together whereas men do not. My so called friends or should I say acquaintances are all married off as well. The only time they ever contact me is when their wife goes away and they are sat home feeling lonely themselves so they contact me to fill their own void. As soon as their wife comes back they dont want to know. It hurts. You feel used.

i am right now recovering from this.
it stems from when one of my closest friend got her new job. she went from someone who was there for me 24/7 to almost-completely absent. she was my whole world.
it felt like losing something precious in life, like losing a body part. we don't have time for each other anymore.
it began to get better when i started to reconnect with my other friends. then i realized i'm not completely lonely. after that, i reconnected with myself. it took a while to realize that my happiness relied way too much on her. now i'm happy with myself now and if she's finally back, that would be a bonus.

I had siblings, but I grew up alone. Some of my needs were met. I learned, by exposure, to stay alone. It hurts and can shut down my creativity. I'd rather have the creativity. Exposure has shown too many phony, self centered people who are only here to stop you, not help you. Not even remain neutral.
In most I can see they will be doing exactly the samethings 20 years from now. I will be someplace different from where I am now. I know because I've done it more than once. I continue to grow.
So, no, I don't get lonely to fall into an empty hole going nowhere as fewer real people enter the world everyday.

I think for me it kind of is an in between thing. I do suffer a bit from loneliness, probably being a bit more alone than by choice, but not so much so that I'm really made mentally uncomfortable by it, as I have a pretty strong tendency to want to hide out alone at home as it is already. So part of me wants to be social, and the other part of me finds it exhausting, increasingly so as I grow older, and have less issues with just being on my own, not having the energy to be social anymore though I do miss the interaction.

Thank you so much, oh have helped me understand myself a lot. The only problem is I dont know how to fix it. Most of my happiness is from my imaginary world That I just keep living in, away from the real world and my other friends. And I realized how much I dont actually enjoy hanging out with some of my friends. And I dont know how to tell anyone about it. I dont want to talk to people about it. And idk why its do much easier to put this out to a bunch of random people on the internet. But it is.

I'm not sure about myself. I wouldn't consider myself as materialistic, I keep things as simple as possible, wearing the same style of clothes, using the same phone for a number of years. I eat healthily and don't have sleep problems. I couldn't care less about what my friends do, getting a relationship or getting married. Yet, I do have issues on social media addiction, spending lots of time on social media websites or forums. Moreover, I often have an empty feeling, especially when I wake up.

About number 6: I personally have the opposite problem, I have a little problem of showing any emotion except quite often rage or irritation. I can even tell the reason, so when I was younger I was the bullying target it held on until 7th class and that is about the time when i began to build a wall around my emotions in order to stop them from harming me, it eventually worked but at a high cost as mentioned in this comment

I am at my happiest when alone. maybe its to do with being an only child & my parents hating me as a kid & myself hating them. No urge to use social media as I don't find reading about people on there interesting. I used to like having a girlfriend but I find they chit chat to much (especially on their mobile) and give me a migraine. The solution was to drink beer till I couldn't notice the noise anymore.

I just run. There's no conscious beings to be with me in any story. But there are thousands of conscious beings, friends, etc. for other people in other stories. Games, anime, MLP(cool toon tho, G4 is especially, it all help to run. I write songs, but would never share. I suffer, but don't want conscious beings to know. I run, so i won't need to embrace reality. I love life.

My big takeaway from the video was how sad the black cat must have felt. It seems like in many of the scenes, the cat is right there, but the person is too depressed to engage in any kind of quality interaction. I'd like to believe that when this person recovers from depression and loneliness, that the cat can experience more affection and playtime.

To be honest, its a numb feeling. Like people I thought I was close to, showing there true colors has ruined future relationships like this for me. Like Im at the point, where its just fully numb, and everytime people do little things that hurt most people, I barely realize it. And the only way I can explain it, is just numb.

I relate everything in the video except the overuse of social media, I feel lonely, but I don't use social media because it reminds me of people being happy and living their good life, I feel sad that I don't have a comfortable life so I prefer to do not enter social media so I won't be more sad and lonely as I am

I have two best friends, but my dad doesnt think I need him and my mom is stressed out all the time. And my sisteris younger then me.
I feel as if my friends are the only ones I can relate to. I apply to every one of these. But lemme add one more. Imagining that video game characters are my friends.

But how do you fix it when you don't have anyone around except at work? And you can't trust anyone to not be using you, or have conditions that go along with forming a connection with another person, or that they have ulterior motives? How do you fix loneliness?

I am totally alone but not really lonely. My health is not good. My animals are my friends and though hard work I would not be without them. I depend on the Internet but if you choose well the wealth of information is amazing. Reading books too is a joy.

This touched my heart. Lately, I've felt lonely and a part of me felt like I should learn to open up to people I barely meet anymore, even though that would mean overcoming my waning trust in others.
Maybe I should talk to someone about this.

Need to focus on Seniors who are Stuck and aren't able to do the things recommended in the
Video! Can't drive, busy family that hasn't the time or interest to help. Plus other factors that
Seniors have such as Medical or Health concerns.

This is very interesting, I didn't understand why I was suffering from many of these. I do have depression and anxiety, so suffering from loneliness as triggering the problem I've been having and making my mental health issues worse
