This quiz said I'm lonely, and it's right. But I can't be the only one, right? What did you all get?

I think we all feel lonely at times. Take it as an opportunity to see at the moment and try something new. Just filling your time to fill. It isn’t necessarily going to make you feel less lonely. Let’s figure out what you like to do and try and get you involved in a new hobby and meet new people. If people aren’t your thing, there’s tons of opportunities online to socialize.

Hang in there, fellow lonelies! There's so much ahead for each of us. I know it even if I don't see it. I think I was born lonely. But it doesn't stop me having great Passions and enjoying Life whenever I can----even if I'm enjoying it all by myself. At this point, I am lonely but I also enjoy being alone, if that makes sense. I have practiced it.. I love going to the movies by myself more than with friends I think. Now when I DO go with another person, it ruins the experience! Be your own friend, and treat yourself like a friend......there is more to life than other people.

Life is so weird. I spend much time alone but I'm really lonely. Mostly, I hate people so therefore I am a farmer. Plants and animals are my friends...

Guess the cosmos is spinning as it should. LOL

Exactly the same with you!!! It's like wandering through an ocean of species without seeing a same kind as myself.

Even though this quiz told me I'm not lonely right now, there are definitely still times where I've felt isolated and alone. I think it's normal to feel lonely from time to time, but it helps to know that there's definitely someone out there who cares about you, whether that's a friend or family member. Try reaching out to the person you feel closest with and just chat! It can be great to text or even hear their voice if you can hop on a call.

you're definitely not the only one. <3 i got "seems like you might be a little lonely" and i lol'd. i knew that was coming! it can feel really frustrating but hopefully it's comforting to know you're not alone with your loneliness, if that makes sense. i know it's a comfort to me.

I guess I'm a little more lonely than I've realized because I got "It seems like you might be a little lonely." Gonna go text some friends to see how they're doing, and hope that cheers me up.

The quiz said I was lonely and it's right. I feel like instead of being seen and not heard, i'm neither seen nor heard. I have always been an outcast for not only being lesbian, but for also being weird. I feel like I am only on this world to serve others.

What you just said rang a bunch of bells in my head
Being a lesbian is no big deal these days as long as you don't stick it in people's faces.
But the key words are: "lesbian. weird. lonely. Only purpose is to serve."
I tell you with great compassion, that you may need psychiatric therapy. Could you be as they call it nowadays,"Neurodivergent" ? I have ADHD and major depressive disorder. Turns out ADHD is genetic. It's a different way of looking at the world caused by I think, prefrontal cortex? In the brain. So we have to learn to work with The "normal " majority but on our terms. And it ain't easy.
I had difficulty wording this message, But it is all Said with good intentions that are heartfelt,

It said to me that loneliness isn’t a problem for me. Yeah, I really don’t have a problem with loneliness, and I don’t think I do, but I wondered if this was what I am so anxious about.

I genuinely didn't think I was going to get "lonely" but I did and I am realizing I've been wearing a mask of contentment for some time. I admit it, I am lonely sometimes. I sometimes struggle to talk to other people and it's hard to make friends as an adult, it's not like it was in college.

I got like little lonely but I think I'm really lonely. Since I don't have friends like only couple at school but I don't hang out. I got a girlfriend 2 months ago even tho we are distance couple she lives in the other country. Could say online dating and stuff which really sucks I wish I could meet her but parents say other things. That's way I'm just waiting to be old enough and yeah. Also mostly I love being alone even talking with gf sometimes feels weird but I just gotta get used to it and just feel it :)
