I often feel lonely even when I`m with my family or friends.

I used to be like that too Tany until I realized my loneliness was nothing more than a call for action that I had been ignoring for a long time

So........did you listen?

Yes I did iamonetoo.

I believe we will see this percentage drop as our standard of living continues to plummet.

We are being forced to have roommates or extended families under one roof.

It's one thing to be alone, and another to be lonely. Some of the loneliest people I know are married. To me it's more agonising to be lonely in a relationship or company than to be physically alone. I feel my loneliness profoundly when I am with people, but seldom when I am physically alone. So, there must be a disconnect somewhere.

I never feel lonely in church, hunting, fishing, with my animals; but in a crowd, busy mall, ball game, very lonely and sometimes threatened, strange, I guess everyone is wired different.

@michellezm you expressed exactly how I felt and still feel at times.
