Lonliness- symptoms & reasons !

Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person or animal experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any form of meaningful human contact. Lonely people often experience a subjective sense of inner emptiness or hollowness, with feelings of separation or isolation from the world.


One of the first recorded uses of the word "lonely" was in William Shakespeare's Coriolanus.

People can experience loneliness for many reasons, and many life events are associated with it. The lack of friendship relations during childhood and adolescence, or the physical absence of meaningful people a round a person are causes for loneliness, depression, and 'incelism'. At the same time loneliness may be a symptom of another social or psychological problem (for example chronic depression) which should be analyzed.

Common types

Loneliness can be summarized as falling into these categories:

• Situational / circumstantial - loss of a relationship, move to a new city
• Developmental - a need for intimacy balanced by a need for individualism
• Internal - often including feelings of low self-esteem and vulnerability

Common symptoms

• Believing that 'everyone else' has friends
• Feeling socially inadequate and socially unskilled
• Being convinced there is something wrong with you
• Feeling that no one understands one's situation
• Feeling reluctant to attempt to change, or try new things
• Feeling 'empty', depressed, or even contemplating suicide
• Feeling anxious and/or desperate

Loss of a significant person in one's life will typically initiate a grief response; here, one might feel lonely, even in the company of others. Loneliness may also occur after the birth of a child, after marriage or any socially disruptive event, such as moving from one's home town to a university campus. Loneliness can occur within marriages or similar close relationships where there is anger, resentment, or where love cannot be given or received. It may represent a dysfunction of communication. Learning to cope with changes in life patterns is essential in overcoming loneliness.
