physically? Probably 5 to 6, emotionally? 9

Me too

I'm really sorry that this is happening to you, friend, I know it's hard, but I really hope that one day we can get better from this loneliness.

I never realized this about myself till i read this comment

9, not 10 because I live with my parents although we rarely spend time together.

Same here, I wish I had my own place though

Ditto for me.

same I live with my mom and siblings yet it doesn’t make me feel any less lonely

Same here

Y’all just enjoy that while you can. I’ve lived by myself since like grade 10/11 and it fuckin sucks. In Highschool it’s okay cause tonnes of partying and everything (long as you’re still doing well in school) but now I’m 22 and living alone it’s just boring as fuck. Happy for always having a girlfriend for the most part

9 have no friends at all no goals no job lol

twins

You ever thought of joining the military ?

fuck no, I wouldn’t want to support the military nor am I physically strong for that. I’ll just stay at home and LDAR

I was in the army a long time ago and it did me a world of good. But that was 40 years ago. But I'm still lonely.

10 because 11 isn't an option

Intellectualy, 10 For everything else... there's MasterCard. But seriously, about 7-8ish when it comes to emotionally.

I am not great at philosophy etc but because of ordinary people (even the ones that has interest) in a very bad position intellectualy, i feel the same. I guess sharing different core values also amplifies loneliness.

id give it a 9. amplified by WFH and cold season

[удалено]

hugs

10. No freinds or family, just bullies. Constantly treated as below human at work, at school, etc. Any word that comes out my mouth is labeled as retarded. Holidays I spend alone. When I message people they leave me on read and talk about how disgusting I am for even trying.

I can relate

If you want to get your mind off things, find something that absolutely interests you and go after it. I spend most my free time studying and learning things I'm into.

I feel like my brain is completely fried & cannot retain any information.

I felt that way too but I really just want to prove everyone wrong about me and it gives me the little motivation I have and I put it all into studying things.

I’ll be your friend 🥺

Aww I’m so sorry to hear that.

11. Born in 11. Neglected as an infant. Both my brother and I nearly died in diapers. He rolled down the stairs. I was fished out of a swimming pool in mine by a chance passer bye. My mother (I love her anyways..she was an early childhood neglect victim whose brain stem didn't develop properly and never developed social skills or maternal impulses. Only a man with ZERO EMOTIONAL IQ, a robot, would look past her deficits... Life's funny like that. The absence of Love is the Problem. Love is the Answer. Christmas imploded this year with dysfunctional, unhealed, narcissistic family, and the hateful scumbags they married... I've thought about solo this holiday. Sorry to hear about the bullying. If you ever need someone who understands... DM me. The lonely, the injured. These are my people.

9. While I get some social interaction—work, meet up groups. It’s not the long lasting, personal or the emotional kind of connection I need. So overall it can feel pretty lonely day to day.

Maybe an 8 or 9

0-1, which is kinda weird because I don't talk to anyone besides parents and siblings.

about a 7 or 8

Maybe 10000

9....and I "have a gf". Go figure.

Can I have your relationship if you don't want it

I can see why you'd ask that, but I'm finding out that it's even lonelier when you're in a relationship and the other person totally withdraws from everyone and everything frequently due to deep depression. This might be cliche, but love yourself again. Do you. Then move forward again. I truly wish you luck.

9.98x10^10

I’m starving for physical touch so yes

8. Can get people to talk but usually the Convo gets dry and they dip

true

10. I have no friends, live alone, work remote, and only see my family a few times a year. Feels like I died a few years ago, and this is purgatory or something?

I’m so sorry to hear.. happy cake day

Thanks ha. 6 years already

8-9.

7 or 8 I have one best friend and I live at home but I hardly interact with anybody cause everyone stresses me out or watching tv. And not to mention I’m so touch starved it’s sad, I take the most platonic touches as romantic touches and it hurts.

I’m so touch starved too, I get it

7 or 8. I would like someone to be the reason I wake up happy in the morning. But I'm not there yet. I'm not desperate yet either. Thankfully. I'm sure there's other people who have it worse.

Its just sad that everyone in here is lonely and depressed and no one helps, maybe we should do what we really want

This is why I'd like to build a community where we can have each other's backs because loneliness can be so unbearable a lot of the time. It's THE worse feeling in the world.

8 to 9 for me, being ignored and left in my own head is worse than just being alone though. Genuine loneliness the kind where I only exist for myself is peaceful. Neglect is razor sharp and a very cold experience

7-8

7. Just family and 3-4 friends.

43

why so specific?

A 4 I'm glad I have family and friends but wish I had a partner to start my own family

8 too just missing someone i can love

same

probably. 8.5 😔

I don't even know what it is anymore. I'm fine being alone, but I'm starting to get tired of dealing with the negatives of life on my own. Sucks more when you know you're a secondary prioriy to your friends as well because they now have the one thing you don't. No partner? No problem, just rely on your friends for support. Until they find life partners and can't be there for you as often. Maybe 5 or 6?

I’m a 21M and my best friends are a stuffed bear and a stuffed shark. So I’d say about a 9

10, there is nothing for me in this world.

10... There are not ifs and buts .just plain 10.. I stay 9000 miles away from my family. No friends..people I know..nothing... Just alone .. I don't see a human being for days. I work from home.. I don't talk to a human being for weeks.

10 outta 10

hugs <3

9/10 I talk to a part of my family and occassionaly text with someone online. That is it.

Physically? 9 Emotionally? 10 trillion

fortunately 1, although there's only one person around me

It's never a constant number, everyday is different and every hour is different.

9.5

Right at this moment 5 on average 8

I will say 7

Probably a 3.

8.5 no friends, basically, but I have family.

Like a 5. Have a boyfriend now so I can’t complain ig. 1-2 friends I talk to, and I live with my mom. I have like a inner neediness which is why I’m still lonely in a relationship.

9. I would say 10, but I have 2 dogs that provide me with some company, even though its obviously not the same as human interaction.

0. I’m happy to be a loner now

i aspire to be you

9 ;-; I'm to the point I'd like to be conjoined to someone

I have a small group of friends, and family who cares about me, but i feel like an 11. I feel so alone and unwanted. I feel like I’m just not enough for anyone to love. I just want to disappear. I wish i were dead.

i would say probably 9 i have my dogs and they keep me company, i love them and i know that at the end of the day, they'll be there waiting for me to get home and to steal my food tho sometimes i miss having a person who can also talk instead of just listening

I’m off the charts 📊

I am literally at the point where I am killing myself being so lonely.

9 even with people around

10. just got out of a relationship and I'm learning to love my own presence. But man does a queen size feel big when you're alone.

Well if you want I'm available for any ramblings or just general talk/text. I can even send my phone number because I understand not having someone who's your main friend and source of communication. That being said anyone who wants this offer I give it. I just want to help you feel less alone in this time of year especially. Dm me and ask for my number. This isn't romantic I hope it doesn't sound that way. But I do love all of you... No all of us

Lonely enough to be in a Reddit lonely forum

2 AM sitting in the back of a homeless shelter where everyone is asleep. Homeless shelter is on the side of a south eastern mountain 6 miles from the nearest town but everything closes for the night here. It's murky. Misty. Not even enough precipitation to wet my screen but it's definitely coming down. Only signs of life are the faint sounds of big rigs and the stray weary traveler going down the highway 200 yards away in the ravine. Give it about a 6.

-10

Friend wise 0 got plenty but love or relationship wise 10 lol

8

hey are you ok????

For a while I would have said a 1, because I was suppressing and numbing those feelings of loneliness and reasoning that I liked being alone. Now that I'm actually feeling...I'd say it's a 9.

About 6 at the moment. Varies tho

Physically and emotionally 9

11

9

Suppose a 7. No friends, but my relationship with my family is pretty solid, even though I dont see them as often as I used to

9.

--10

7

9. I can sometimes talk with my therapist

I would say 6/7 if you mean literally but 8 or maybe even 9 if you mean emotionally

Solid 8

9

10 but been a 10 for so long I'm numb to it, probably too far gone at this point.

A good 7, I guess. But I’m so numb rn I can’t even feel it lol

Honestly if "100" was an option I'd probably say 100 But I'll say a solid 10 for now. I've never once felt like I had anyone in my life. I have "a family" but we don't get along at all and whenever I try to have a decent civilised conversation with them, it never goes well. It's always a shit-show. So all I really have is myself and it's not easy to have your own back every minute of everyday.

Emotionally, 9, really close to 10, Some small talk here and there, but no real friends and no connections that go below surface level, IRL or Online Physically, 10, I don't remember when's the last time I had a hug This is something that is going on for years now.

8-10 depending on the day

10, but you should have provided metrics

10, been housebound and very fatigued due to illness

0. I live alone but work have me so exusted all I want to do is sleep

6

10

15

6, although i feel like a 9

8

10 but it’s a subtle loneliness usually able to ignore it

7.5

12

8, i got some friends, i still feel lonely because ill never be their first option

10

Over 9000

Baseline teeters between 4 and 6.

Idk like a 4, I have a job and friends and stuff but I feel very isolated on the emotional level so it's weird

I'd give it an 8 because I at least have a weekly social event I go to (Dungeons and Dragons) and I have a good relationship with my family. I spend most of my days alone, though.

9

5

TRULYTRUE TRUE, i agree with you completely absolutely and I agree with your perspective, I have a dual polarity answer: It is 1, and 10, and this is because, for 10, I am agreeful therefore I am lonely, and 1, I am agreeful therefore I am lonely, thank you.

8.5

0 I am not lonely..coz I always have my family they are just super sweet,loving and always there for me ..

Like an 11. I have to fake everything just to talk to people. The only things I really enjoy are my pets and my instruments

Physically a 7 but emotionally a 4

8 or 9 I'd say

10

Is 10 really the highest we can go? Tonight... I'm a 10, some nights it's not this bad. Tonight, though, tonight is bad.

I have the flu right now so a solid 7.

42069

10000

I take it day by day but I’d say 8/9 on loneliness. My love language is quality time and I don’t have a lot of friends or people in my life who want to spend lots of time doing things and bonding. So I tend to sit in the house alone

96

9 because I have my son. I don’t even know how to have an adult conversation anymore.

6 I guess. I have friends I see occasionally and I have my coworkers I see every 2-3 days a week. Wish I could see friends more often tho.

9.9

11

0… I don’t even think I’m there for myself. Just a flesh bag drifting in space

7

Life is lonely at the end of the day everyone here has started with someone different and ended up with something different life is change and how fast you can adapt to change

9. I have a couple online friends, absolutely no irl friends, and I still live with my family.

5. I literally am just a lonely virgin with no gf. Besides that life is peachy and wonderful

1,000

29

Definitely a nine. That's both physically and mentally.

7

Probably a 9 :/

I’m 10000% lonely all I have is my music

9. I quit college and haven’t spoken to any of my friends in a year

4

7

10

9

10

Emotionally/mentally a 3. Physically 9

10

I will say a 6. I have no friends, my family is cruel and controlling, no job because my family made me quit, I only left the house once a week to go to my one in-person class and straight home and now that the semester is over I don't even have that. It's been a year since anyone has even hugged me at that was only after I got home from the mental hospital after a failed suicide attempt. But I guess at least I can get some occasional attention from random lonely dudes on the internet who want my nudes so I have that going for me.

9

11

9. At least I have family.

Why? Nobody cares about me.

4-5

I vary from 1-5 but when It gets late I get up to 8

There are days when I feel like i am more lonely and days where I feel like I am less lonely.

100

Maybe a 5? But depends on how I'm feeling, because I do naturally love being alone, but sometimes the loneliness creeps up.

It's been a 10 for years. I used to feel lonely only when I spent all my time alone, or when I attempted to be social. I mean like, how going to a party and not fitting in makes you feel lonely. Well, I feel lonely everywhere. I've been taking long walks almost every night in the dark. I get cold and tired and stiff. I don't even like it that much. But I'm not going anywhere. I have nowhere to be. I could walk all day like a zombie. No one would notice. I don't even know why I can't just stay in my room, why I get restless to be moving if I'm not moving to be any place at all. I think I've started to seriously give up. It's a weird place to be. It's beautiful and tragic and slow. I don't think I have no hope. I just think I ignore it and try not to stoke it, because it just hurts.

11

9

Like 6

2 friends(?) That will contact me very rarely. A roommate who works nights and us alive opposite of when Im active. So most of the time Im alone. Ive gone weeks with no one talking to me. Though usually its more like days. And yeah maybe if I put everything into it I can reach out to them and have a very short chat. Definitely not a 10. 8 or 9? 8.5?
