Is it weak to be lonely?

I'm a very lonely person who isn't very good at talking to people or making friends etc. and i used to have one person who i could talk to when i felt sad or overwhelmed or watever but then she suddenly got really angry and started shouting at me, saying things like i was being rude by being depressed and she told me to find other people to talk to. it's been quite a while now and i've tried talking to her somtimes but i either get ignored or shouted at.
i just wondered if it was weak to want somone to talk to?

It's not weak at all -- that'd mean I was weak, and I sure as heck ain't that. It's perfectly normal -- I have plenty of people that wish to talk to me, but I've began to slowly talk less and now I'm pretty much alone often at school. I feel lonely; I want someone to talk to -- my friends never seem to listen, and when they listen, they have no response and it isn't helpful for me, so I just don't talk to them about my problems .

If this girl yelled at you, try and give her some space. People do get irritated or tired of listening -- it'll either blow over, or she really isn't the person to go to for your problems.

But it most definitely isn't weak. Everyone goes through being lonely.

Its not weak to be lonely.
Everyone is lonely at one point in their life.
If you want to stop being lonely find someone you feel you can talk to.
I know its not as easy as I say it is but i hope I helped u a lil if at all ^_^

You pushed your friend away by assuming that the bad ol' world is against you... You need to wake up... I don't think its weak to be lonely... I think its weak that you're selfish enough to think about yourself... while I'm guessing you're friend left you for that...

You need to apologise to your friend

It's never weak to be lonely...it's weak to stop trying to fix it.

it's not weak to need a friend...we need somebody to help us survive...

this girl...maybe..i don't know. maybe she couldn't deal with your sadness. some people can't deal with sad people. it's just something that's hard for some people.

other people...are adapted to doing it...

if you ever need someone to talk to...i'm here

It is definatly not weak to be lonely... Most people are actually strong when they are lonely. They only have themselves and it makes it harder. Not having the support most people need and to still be living life... If she got mad then who care... As you can see there are people here for you. Whether or not you want to trust them or talk to them is up to you...

First off there's different types of friendships.

Most of the time people are friends because both people in the friendship are gaining something. Perhaps it's someone to talk to, someone to laugh with, or even just someone to spend time with...however there are the unfortunate "give and don't receive" friendships that just can't last.

Perhaps that she felt your were being too needy...too often. It's not weak to feel lonely some of the time but if she wants to reach out to other people and broaden her horizon, maybe she felt she couldn't do that with you at her side.

I know this sounds horrible, but perhaps you weren't giving as much as you could have been...

I don't think that it is weak to be lonely. U just have to open ur limitations a lot more.

I'm terrible at talking to people. I always either give the impression that I hate them or am boring or I'm just totally weird and annoying. Hardly anyone ever gets to know me/ wants to because so many sides of my personality are too strong. >.< As for you, being shy ain't no problem. At least people don't know you as 'that one weird/ annoying kid'. ^_^

It's only a weakness if you let loneliness consume you.

I'm lonely but I don't let that get in the way. After all... I have my entire life to find someone to share myself with.

Lol... Where did I say that he was conceited? I said he was selfish, and his post is quite evident...

Next time Jarred, when trying to speak or even question me, try to actually use the right word, rather than a variation of it..lol

Well to be honest with you,
its not weak to want to talk with someone, and its not weak to feel lonely...
people need to talk sometimes to people they trust, or just to vent...
but sometimes we are left alone, and its the "test" of life... (meaning, Life tests us sometimes, to see if we are strong enough) and sometimes, we need to be alone, and feel lonely, to be able to rely on our selves, and depend on no body, in the end, we are all independent on our selves, and thats what everyone should learn, There might be people who would want to help us sometimes, and listen to us, but they are not always there for us...

Sometimes we have to be there for our selves, and once you learn how to do that, you would never feel lonely anymore, instead you would feel strong and indepenedent!

NO...not weak to be lonely...then....i would have been declared weak...naah hun!...of curse i m strong..lol...
yeah it's a necssity to stay in company but not that you can trust every one on the street and try to keep in company with them....just one thing....the very sen=cond you let yourself down and forget to trust yourself..that's when one fails in life...

Its weird I tell myself that its weak beacuse I have gotten attached to ppl so many time only to be left behind. But I honestly dont think it is a weak trait beacuse everyone needs someone sometime...I think its just something I have to tell myself...weird huh?

Of course it's not weak to feel lonely. I'm an only child and I felt very lonely when I was younger and didn't have any siblings to play with. lol I used to beg my parents to have another child. But no, in my opinion, it is definitely not weak to be lonely.

No I don't think so.I am a lonely person too and I feel that I am weak when I am with others.

Its not weak! Just being strong enough to show the truth...the more you hide the more you get hurt..
suicide, that's not being brave...deff., that's being afraid..that's weaker!

I'm lonely nonstop and I don't think i'm weak.

Look on the positive.. its what i try to do.

Oh no hun, being weak is just sometimes we humans feel. i get lonely alot too, but it doesn't mean your weak, not in the less bit. you just have to know that not every one wil hurt you, or mistreat you. you have to get out of your shell and meet new people. and if it helps you can talk to me! Shanik
