Yup, I sure have. I’ve felt lonely all alone and lonely surrounded by people.

Usually it means I need to spend some quality time by myself – not wallowing time, happy time. Although I will allow myself some wallow time to – just to get it out of my system. It’s OK to feel bad now and again, just don’t let it go on too long.

After you’ve allowed yourself that, spend time on a hobby you love doing alone (shopping, video games, whatever you like), listen to music that will lift you up, go for walks by yourself, etc.

I agree with all of this. It's usually what I do.

I actually notice I feel lonelier in large groups of people.. usually because they always ignore me. I always get really depressed around Thanksgiving, which is when my whole extended family gets together, and nobody ever acknowledges me..

ever been in the ocean with eery fins around .. its lonely .. dont sweat the small stuff enjoy life ..

Thank you.

On my early age I enjoy my friends and community. But now I enjoy lonly, because in this commercial world most of people are very selfish.

Yes, people can make you feel lonely, or at least aware of the kind of relationships that you wish you had.

Being surrounded by family at the holidays used to be the most depressing thing in the world to me. Not anymore, but it used to kill me partly because it was supposed to be such a happy time and I was not happy, and that made me even less happy.

I definitely feel like this a lot. Especially with friends who I've lost close touch with.
