Is it normal that i feel lonely a lot?

Well first of all, I have a great family that genuinely cares for me . I decided to take a year break to focus on losing weight . I don't talk to any of my high school friends and I really feel like I need someone there for me other than my family .I can't take it at times . And I get mildly depressed at times when I think about it . I really feel like I need an outside connection with someone . Someone who I could hang out and talk with . Is this normal ?

    sometimes someone can have the most friends at school, that doesn't mean that they don't feel lonely at times. It depends. Usually if someone gets lonely then maybe they need to find themselves, set goals, or take up a belief so they can have a focus on life and a fulfillment within rather than an empty feeling, if you know what I mean.? hope this hepls =)

    I always feel very lonely too. I have a boyfriend and a nice family, even schoolfriends. I never hang out with them tho, only my boyfriend. Always when im alone i feel really lonely too, get depressed and all. I talk to my friends at school and am happy then, but when I get home I just plainly said feel like shit cause im so bored. I guess everyone needs a friend they can rely on.

    You're lonely and need a friend. Take up a hobby or take a class and you might met someone with similar interests.

    You want a friend who you can share the day with. Since you're trying to lose weight I suggest going to the gym in order to talk to other people. You're all there to lose weight so I think that you can make a couple of friends off that connection alone.

  • I'm the same. I don't talk to my old friends either and the main people I talk to are family. I don't know why, but it seems really hard for me to connect with people. Oh well. All I can say is best of luck ;)
