Loneliness

[RandomIdiot]

Do you think you can die from loneliness? I feel lonely all the time. I know i'm not alone though, i have great friends. I have a wonderful boyf who i love and who loves me. I'm not alone, so i can't help thinking that i shouldn't be lonely. But i am, and i don't know how to make it stop. I feel like it's slowly killing me. I can't handle it anymore. I just want to feel something else, anything else.

Hi ya :)

I don't think you can die from loneliness itself unless it leads you do suicide which is self inflicted, but no, I don't think you just sit there in a chair and then just suddenly stop breathing.

I know what you're feeling because I feel the same, the difference being that I live alone with nobody around me whatsoever, I have no partner to turn to if I need a hugs or a kind word, I just have to somehow fight my way out of feeling alone and keep myself occupied which sometimes is very hard to do. It's heartbreaking but it's just how life has turned out for me unfortunately.

I think you need to find out why you're feeling so lonely as you seem to be in great company, having a partner that loves you is the ultimate blessing that anybody could ever wish for. Is it perhaps that you find it hard opening up and expressing your feelings? Do you get too emotional or embarrased? I think you should try to get more involved with the people around you, talk more, try and communicate better, allow you feelings express themselves and you will find they will respond to you too :)

I wish you all the luck in and happiness the world,
Take care :)

Aw hun, you can't die from loneliness.But as deepest blue said it can cause severe depression. I don't really know what to say. I experience a lot of the same feelings, it is very hard when you feel like you have friends etc. and still feel so lonely. Can you talk to your friends and bf about how you're feeling?
