When you spend each and everyday by yourself for the last 5 or more years, the only sound that fills your room are the clocks ticking
When nobody bothers to remember your birthday, or nobody spends Christmas/your Birthday...etc with you
When you have heaps of acquaintances on a social media but neither of them considers you their friend
When you stand alone on a train platform on a gloomy cold day with a heavy heart
When you flip through the photo albums of really close childhood friends whom no longer are in contact with you and you think 'I wonder how he/she is going...gee I wish we could just catch up' as you reminisce old times.
When you see groups of kids playing together and you think 'I used to be like that when I was younger, what happened to me'
When the silence of your room becomes unbearable that you want to flood it with the sound of music.
When you go back alone to visit the place your Ex-boy/girl friend first told you they loved you and you get flooded with bittersweet nostalgia
The silent sound of tears that fall, no-one to catch them
When you smile and act happy in front of others only to hide the vast amount of pain deep inside because you don't want others to worry
When you want to scream and tell the world that 'I'm here, please don't forget me!" but afraid that others will look down on you for your yearning and stupidity
When someone tells you that you're better off not existing in the first place and that your existence is meaningless and you agree because no-one else has ever told you that you're special and that the world needs you
When you desperately grapple to find the meaning of life only to fail time and time again
When your best friend is the cat from next door (who ends up moving away)
When you throw away everything that you are to suit the expectation of others, and by doing that others see you as just a puppet and doll with no will of your own
Having problems and crying yourself to sleep most nights because you have nobody to talk to or confide to about them (possible because people avoid people with lots of troubles)
When you feel that everyone has left you and that god no longer walks by your side
Possibly all the above and more.
Finally: Loneliness is not just a state of being, like depression it is an actual chronic illness - different to being anti-social as these beings would be social beings given the chance but haven't had the chance to. There is enough evidence to support that if a person feels enough pain from being upset chronically, the body registers this emotional pain as physical pain.
In the end we are human, we all grieve, we all suffer - some of us cope better than others. When you lend your shoulder to another person to cry on or when you lend your ears to another so as to listen to their woes as a friend - to that person you are reaching out to them and giving them the hope to find the light in life during a time of being lost in the deepest darkest parts of despair.
