Yep---no matter how much I surround myself with people I am still lonely.

I have a ton of friends from high school, and work and I keep in touch with a lot but yet I feel like the lonliest person alive!!!

Yes, especially around people.
Really want to be alone. Sounds odd but other people make me feel lonely.

Thats a for sure YES, its such a horrible feeling you can be surrounded by people and still you feel lonely.

YES! i just started to notice this lately, but when im depressed, which is often an underlying feeling (seldom do i feel well) i feel achingly lonesome or lonely, xxx

I sometimes feel this way around people. Sometimes I feel that way too, when I try to reach out and contact my friends and everyone is busy or they're not online.

I agree with nana. i often think if I had a significant other still I wouldnt be so lonely. When my husband waas alive I had no syptoms. No lonliness

yes

Definately. This is exactly how I feel when the mood is starting to fall and right through till it is coming up again. Often I like to be alone, but when I m down I feel lonely even when in a room full of people.
Isolated is how I feel right now.

Lonely Lonely Lonely all times any times. Even with loving wife at home.

Yes, I feel lonely alot of the time. Then when I'm around people then I get very anxious and want to leave and go home.
I start feeling like someone is going to do something to me or start talking about me. Luckily I have animals to keep my company.

Benjamun, our animals do make us feel loved. Mine do anyway.

all the time honeybun-i know how you feel,people can be all around and you still feel lonely,i can relate,i will get better though ok,fight the depression,don't let depression fight you!

Call me Mr. Lonely. BUT, I'm lonely, 'cuz I want to be. I kinda wallow in self pity and hope no one sees me. I run and hide and just lick my wounds and hope the feeling will pass. I'm in a terrible state, when I'm lonely, but like I said... I choose it. I live with the consequences. Loneliness gives you a chance to be reflective and time to annalyze where you fit in the Master Plan of things! I wouldn't recommend a steady diet of loneliness, but the odd time is not really bad. You have your own space.

Being around other people seems to make the loneliness more profound. I thought it was just me. I feel the need to be around people, but cant cross the abyss that depression creates. End up just faking it.
