Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation.

When I am in a crowd like at a party or even at an amusement park, I am with people. I am alone in my own little world being with people. Does this makes sense at all.


Being alone even though I am not alone.

It makes sense to me. Sometimes I feel even more isolated in a large group of people.

Oh,yes,I can definitely understand that feeling! I've been standing at a concert in the midlle of thousands of people,and still felt like I was totally alone! It makes a lot of sense to me,and I'm sure there are plenty of others who have felt the same way! You are not alone!

i can feel alone in a crowd, but also feel all.. one

it depends. if you start dancing with eveyone you are then acting as one.. if not then you are separating. which is not bad

being a lone can be nice at times.. but i also do get nutty and depressed after a few days of it.

Yes, I feel more lonely in crowds, or groups of people.

I can be in my own world, oblivious of others in crowds. For me, I interpret it as a gift. I can read, journal etc. as if I were in a phone booth.
Feeling lonely for me is a yearn, aching hurt from my soul that is there regardless of how many people are around.
Like a wistful wish that's always on my face

ladydi, yes that makes sense. Often times I feel "alone in a crowd". Sometimes it is really a depressing feeling...desiring to be able to mingle and get to know people. However, I often find it is so diffiicult to interact in a crowd because everyone seems to be "competing" to be the "life of the party". So, for me, it is easier just to choose to be a lone even in a large crowd.
