Do you ever feel lonely?

I am married to someone who needs zero alone time and chatters nonstop, and my youngest is a velcro kid. At work I have around 150 students and I am in meetings all the time. It’s a lot! But that one year I was in SF half of each week, living alone, with no meetings, I was not lonely at all.

ETA: I am realizing this may have been a thread for single ladies and sorry if I should not have responded!

I am single and I love my alone time and my me time.

The only time I've felt a bit......not sure I would say "lonely" >> more like stir crazy, was during the covid shut down and distancing.
Off work for a couple months. It was a lot of hours to fill in a day......day after day after day after day, etc.... by myself. 

I'm widowed and very rarely do I feel lonely. Don't get me wrong, it happens every now and again but for the most part I'm ok being alone.

I don't think I'll ever get involved with someone again (I do NOT have the patience to go thru the dating BS I'm seeing on line and hearing from friends), so the fact that I'm fine alone is a good thing.

My husband died almost 21 years ago. I'm used to being single now but at times wish there were someone to simply chat with when I get home from work..or when they get home from work. Someone to go to the store with(other than my daughter who is great and goes with me places quite frequently).

It's the bond and basic day to day stuff I miss.

I live with my husband, 4 kids, and elderly aunt. My house is always chaos, work is stressful and my DH owns the company so we're on the phone all the time. When we get home DH just wants to chill and relax so I'm lonely in the sense that I don't ever really have anyone to TALK to. Like, actual conversations about life and stuff outside of kids and work.

I do. I am 73 and very independent and have always been so. After my husband died I moved to a big city to be closer to family. They have their own lives with 2 kids so I don't see them as often as I would like. I wouldn't want to be married but I do miss the "right" companionship. I do have several wonderful friends. My life is rich and full but being alone day after day does make me lonely.

I crave some alone/lonely time in my life.  My DH is retired so is around the house all day all week - so weekends he is anxious to go do "stuff" away from home.  I'm the opposite.  I have been away from home all week and just want to veg at home.  I am around people 24/7 it seems so on the weekend if DH want to golf or anything else I am 100% in favor so that I can savor some alone/lonely time.

Except for the church part, are you me? 😄

DH and I do things together and I see friends frequently, but I like my alone time, too.

I am rarely lonely - I'm busy all the time with my kids, grandkids, my mother and dh. But DH was just gone for a week. During that time I watched what I wanted, ate what I wanted, visited the grands and spent time in my craft room. BUT.... I was surprised that I really did miss him at the end of those 7 days. It was nice to have someone else in the house to talk to and to cook with and go to bed with. If it was more than a week I think I might be lonely at times.

Single empty nester here. I really don't ever get lonely. I am an introvert and have a lot of hobbies and activities I like to do alone. I live in a small town so I have a lot of people I run into if I am out and about. If I sit down for happy hour for example, sooner or later someone I know will also be by. I do wish I could find the love of my life and a girl bestie, but so far, no luck in either department

Me too.  Except for the church, volunteer, movies, historic sites, and museums.  Basically, I am alone a lot and don’t get lonely.  

I have a full life - a partner and grown kids and a lot of friends, plus work and hobbies.

I get sad/blue sometimes…but I don’t ever really feel lonely. I actually need a lot of time alone.

I am very happily married and an empty nester. That said, my DH is very outgoing and is always on the go and always runs into people when he is out. He absolutely hates being at home and not doing something. Very rarely does he turn down a social invite. I, on the other hand, am an introvert and hate being on the go all the time. I need lots of 'me' time. Very rarely do I get lonely --- Im great going shopping by myself, staying at home and watching tv, scrapbooking, etc. I have friends that I can go to lunch with and see everyday if I'd like, but that is way too much 'peopleing' for me. I like to be alone and can appreciate the quietness. 

If I do find myself getting lonely, it's usually because I am just missing my mom or my adult kids.
