Sometimes I get really lonely for no reason. I'm always around family and friends but I feel really lonely. I just feel down and depressed. I don't know why I feel so lonely and abandoned. Does anyone know what's wrong with me?
Additional info, added Monday June 19 2006, 6:52 pm: I'm 16/f if that helps anyone else.
Just to let everyone know.. I do have a lot of friends I just feel lonely even when I'm around them.. Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health? orphans answered Saturday June 17 2006, 12:14 pm: You're like a more grownup me. I'm 13/f, and I feel the same way. I feel like that because I have no freinds. I mean, people are nice to me, but no one is like my friend. Around my family, I feel lonely because they never understand me.
Try to find the reason why you feel so lonely. Are you like me, where no one understands you? Or do you just feel that no one likes you, or has someone brought you down? I'm just talking from experience, you need to find the reason. If you find the reason, try to work out something that will solve your loneliness. It's not healthy to be sad and depressed.
Most likely, it's just a phase you're going through. You're bound to get emotional at times. I wouldn't worry so much if you think it's a phase.

i hope i helped at all,

HardxcorePunkLover answered Tuesday June 13 2006, 1:24 pm: I feel that way a lot as well, even when I'm with friends & family. You need to tell your friends. Then, they will try to be closer to you. Then, you need to think about it yourself. "What can I do to not feel so lonely?" Reach out to your friends more & make sure that you have connections with them.

Hope i helped!
lilly_pads79 answered Tuesday June 13 2006, 1:02 pm: You may have some form of depression. Talk to friends or your parents, if that doesn't work I would contact a docor. Depression can be a very serious situation, but it can also be just around for about 5-10 days. I would talk to my parents, and then wait a while. Hope for the best!
xxoBriannax answered Tuesday June 13 2006, 11:49 am: It could be your hormones. You may have developed depression. Depression can go away within a few days to weeks or can stay permanent. Talk to a friend or family member about how you feel. If that doesn't help, you could even go to counseling. [ xxoBriannax's advice column | Ask xxoBriannax A Question ]

Krupple answered Tuesday June 13 2006, 2:36 am: I don't know how old you are, but it could be puberty. I know, it sucks. I've been there before, and it was more than puberty. But it could always be depression. If it persists you might need to talk to a doctor. [ Krupple's advice column | Ask Krupple A Question ]
jumadel answered Tuesday June 13 2006, 1:31 am: Hi, maybe you don't have many friends or hobbies. You could be going through a wee bit of depression. Just go out and do something you like, make a friend and join in anything thats fun or interests you. Daniel. [ jumadel's advice column | Ask jumadel A Question ]
