Being lonely isn’t not having someone next to you…



I used to think the definition of lonely was purely just being alone. But I realized that it’s feeling sad at night and being too scared to text someone in case you disturb them. It’s being surrounded by a huge group of people and still feeling like you don’t belong with them. Being lonely isn’t not having someone next to you… It’s when the person next to you, isn’t the person who’s truly in your heart…

Not happy, not sad but empty


Sometimes, I feel like ripping apart my skin and searching for a reason for why I feel this empty.
Maybe my veins are tangled, or something is lodged in my ribcage. Because it feels like something inside of me is missing or broken.



I feel myself changing, I don't even laugh the same anymore, I don't smile the same, or talk the same, I'm just so tired of everything.


Not happy, not sad but empty


I don't know what it's like to not have deep emotions, even when I feel nothing, I feel it completely. -A. R Asher

I guess I'm just a mess and maybe I'm just lonely or maybe just bitter but I know my heads a storm and that my chest is empty.

I can't describe what I'm feeling. I'm not happy, and I know that. But I'm also not exactly sad either. I'm just caught right in between all these emotions and I feel so empty.

You're afraid to tell people how you feel because it will destroy them, so you bury it deep inside yourself where it destroys you.

Sometimes we don't say what we feel, not because we don't want to, but because we don't know how.

It should be scary how numb I feel. How alone…in the cliche, ‘a room full of people’. The lying and pretending we have the perfect relationship is taking its toll. The destruction, the madness, the emptiness…it’s become my new normal. He doesn’t even see it. Doesn’t see me withdrawing, doesn’t hear my mind wandering, doesn’t feel my love turning into resentment.

Stop breaking your own heart.



Stop ignoring actions and trusting words. Stop giving your all to a person who gives you nothing. Stop hanging on to someone who has let go of you. Stop expecting change from a person who doesn’t want to be changed. Stop letting the fear of loneliness cause you to settle for less than what you deserve. Stop letting the wrong reasons keep you in a relationship that isn’t right for you. Stop breaking your own heart.

You'll waste your whole life waiting for them to change.



You'll waste your whole life waiting for them to change. Sleeping next to them and feeling alone. Wondering why they won't treat you right. You keep thinking it's your fault and you give more and more, hoping that your efforts will change things. You're in love with a lie, this is just the truth that you don't want to face. Let it go!

I'm here. I love you.


I'm here. I love you. I don't care if you need to stay up crying all night long, I will stay with you. There's nothing you can ever do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still protect you. I am stronger than depression. And I am braver than loneliness. And nothing will ever exhaust me. - God

There is nothing lonelier than sitting in the same room with someone and having absolutely nothing to talk about.



There is nothing lonelier than sitting in the same room with someone and having absolutely nothing to talk about. The lack of affection can be tolerated but to feel invisible is well painful.

The truth is, she didn't need to be saved.



The truth is, she didn't need to be saved; she just needed to feel loved and know that someone out there craved her attention.

Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you.



Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They’re lonely. They’re missing somebody. They’re in love with someone they probably shouldn’t be in love with. They have secrets you wouldn’t believe. They wish and they dream and they hope, and they look out the window whenever they’re in the car or on a bus or a train and they watch people on the streets and wonder what they’ve been through. They wonder if there are people out there like them. They’re like you, and you could tell them everything and they would understand.

And right now, they’re sitting here reading these words, and I’m writing this for you so you don’t feel alone anymore.

There’s a reason we feel lonely even though we’re not alone..


There’s a reason we feel lonely even though we’re not alone; It’s because loneliness is not about how many friends we have or how many people there are in the room with us… it’s a disconnection from other human beings. Being social doesn’t cure loneliness; many people socialize when they don’t really feel like it just to keep up appearances. In fact sometimes the most popular person in the crowd is the loneliest of them all because underneath the facade of their superficial projection is a person who is never truly seen or known by anybody. We all have layers of personas and we all pretend we’re okay when we’re not, but loneliness comes when there is not a single person close enough to see past those illusions to who we really are and what we’re really feeling inside.

There is no greater isolation than being trapped inside yourself without another living soul to reach for. And that is why it is possible to feel loneliness when surrounded by people we know and love… because sadly there are times when a person can stand right next to us but not be close enough to really see us. And sometimes there are moments when the loneliest place on earth is being surrounded by people we call friends and knowing not a single one of them knows who we really are.

Choose your relationships wisely.


Choose your relationships wisely. Being alone will never cause as much loneliness as being in the wrong relationship.

People think being alone makes you lonely, but I don’t think that’s true.

The opposite of loneliness isn't togetherness, it's intimacy.


Did you ever walk through a room that's packed with people, and feel so lonely you can hardly take the next step?

Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude.


Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.

It's better to be lonely than to make silent sacrifices for those who are never going to notice your feelings.


I hate this feeling. Like I'm here, but I'm not. Like someone cares. But they don't.


I hate this feeling. Like I'm here, but I'm not. Like someone cares. But they don't. Like I belong somewhere else, anywhere but here..

It's better to have no one, than to have someone who is half there, or doesn't want to be there.


Choose your spouse carefully...


Choose your spouse carefully. Being single and feeling lonely is better than being married and feeling lonely.

The worst feeling in the world..


Empty, lonely, sad, depressed, forgotten, useless, worthless, unimportant, and unloved; the worst feeling in the world.

Lonely is not a feeling when you are alone.
