ok, so lately ive been feeling lonely, but that feeling is only present when i am actually be myself. i only feel this when im home alone or im driving alone. normally this feeling goes away when my parents get home from work, even though i normally stay in the basement (where my computer is) and they stay upstairs. also yesterday, i got to spend some of the day with the girl i like and the 5-6 hours we spent together were like christmas in terms of enjoyment. even when i took her home i was still happy because i got a kiss from her when i dropped her off, so my drive home i was happy too. but the second i walked through the door at my house, i instantly felt lonely again and the house seemed empty. now another thing is even when im just talking to someone through RS or IM-ing i dont feel lonely. so can anyone help me overcome this problem. this should only be temporary because im 200% confident the girl and i will start dating soon.

Loneliness, the feeling that knows me the best! You've spoke to the right person.

Researches have proved that Humans are incapable of being ''alone''. Thus, this mean whenever somebody is by himself/herself, he/she feels lonely. Everybody has their tolerence to that feeling. Some bloody requires people around time everytime (possibly like you) and some are more resistant to loneliness because they're used to it (like me).

So, whenever you have somekind of ''contact'' with somebody (real life or internet), you lose this feeling because you KNOW that somebody is there.

My guess is, your greatest fear is to have nobody. Probably because you were around alot of people in the past.
This is not a bad thing, this proves you care about the people around you and you need them as much as they need you.

This is not really a problem, this is a natural human feeling. You'll see, it will pass by.
Just don't become a lonely jerk who likes being alone more than being with anyone else in the world, like someone I know too much ;)

Why is it surprising that you feel lonely when alone? That's sort of the point. You are alone if theres no one there. And that's also why when your with others your not lonely. Because your..not.

Well here's the question: Is it just loneliness due to a desire to be with others (something that everyone who enjoys interacting with others feels from time to time), or does being alone trigger a deeper sense of loneliness (more akin to depression)? To understand which you are experiencing, you have to ask yourself whether you feel hopeless, desperate, or worthless while alone, or whether your thoughts focus less on the negativity of your current situation, and more on how you will feel once you are reunited with family/friends?

If it's the latter, you really have nothing to worry about, especially coming off of such a high point (congrats on the girl :wink: ) ...you may be "topping out" when with her, and then "bottoming out" when alone, because all your conscious (or subconscious) mind can think of is experiencing that high again.

If you are experiencing some symptoms of depression, you need to figure out for yourself the best course of action.

It's called being in love, ******* thing really. Wait until she breaks your heart, then that feeling wont leave, and you cant fix it.

You could try putting on some music or indulging in a bit of voice chat, that way it could seem more like there's someone there for you. Just remember that the people you need and love are always there, even if you feel like you're the only one left.

Quite the optimist, aren't we Ranging? Anyways, I'd say it's not a problem. Usually, I get so lost in games that I don't even think about my loneliness. Try to find something to do in those times. If you get your mind off of it, I'm sure it won't be a problem. Although, if it does persists even with your efforts, you might look into it. You don't sound like you are sad or anything, just lonely. That said, I don't think you are really depressed or anything like that. As you mentioned, when you come off a high like that and are happy but come home to nothing like that, then you will probably feel lonely and sad. But like Creepy said, loneliness is supposed to be felt when you are alone. And when you are in your own home when no one's around, I wouldn't expect you to feel otherwise. Hope you figure it out and start feeling better soon. Just try to think positively and you should feel better. Much of that kind of think is mental and related to attitude.

Well of course that's going to happen, Regnenth, whether you're in love and you spend a bunch of time with whomever you care about a lot, or if you're just going out with buddies or having fun in general, the period of time immediately after concluding said activity is going to feel like a vacuum sucked them all away from you. Just remember that those fun times when you interact with other people will come around again, and you won't feel as lonely.

Try engaging yourself in a solo activity in those periods so you don't dwell on the fact that you're alone. Lose yourself in another world, whether that's music, books, gaming, exercise, movies, tv, etc. and you'll probably feel a lot better in the meantime.

If this feeling persists, try going to see your doctor or someone like that that you trust that would know something about it and they might be able to give you some better advice that is specifically tailored to you.
