adesana - could you be experiencing depression? Even just mildly?
Fresh air, sunshine and exercise daily are critical. Are you getting this, too? I hope you feel better. : )

What great answers here, to this question. So many wonderful insights.
I can only answer from a very biased point of view. Mine. : )
I can relate, lol, about craving 'aloneness' when I am surrounded - and about craving the same people, when they are missing! I very much agree with the comments about finding contentment in whatever state we are in. (I depend on God's help in that department, personally!)
I believe that everyone will experience some degree of loneliness, at some time or other, during the course of our lives. We were created for community.
Which brings me to the Creator! I believe that we were specifically designed for communion with the Creator. For me, personally, life went from black and white to living color when I came into relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. I was just around your age, Adesana - and He has deeply satisfied a kind of nagging deep loneliness, I didn't honestly know I was living with, until I came to know Him. Being in right relationship - fellowship - with my God, seemed to set my human relationships in balance. I cannot say I've never been lonely since then, but I am not navigating life - eternity - 'alone.' He is faithful.
You are a beautiful young lady, and I wish wonderful fellowship with both God and mankind to you, throughout your entire life!

Your welcome ezmee, yes everyone comes into AND leaves our lives for a reason, and all leave a specail mark on us and help us to become who we are - and adesana, Allah/God/Creator etc will never give you more than you can handle. When my husband died my world crashed. In 2 months I lost 50+ pounds, went to hell and back, and then one day I woke up and said enough, on with life, and have done that. I am now married to the most amazing man in the whole world, but when my ohter husband died I really felt that I would never be with anyone again, how wrong I was. You most definitely need to come to a place of peace within yourself and the rest will automatically happen. Try to find some good books to read about it, (I'm sorry but I can't recommend any). No one can give you what you need unitl you give it to yourself. In other words when you are at peace with yourself you will be amazed at how many people will want to be around you.

I think one of the main things I've learned in life is that "like attracts like" - if you are happy with yourself you will attract happy people. If you are a drunk you will hang out with drunks, if you are negative, negative people will surround you...you get what I mean. It's not always easy to get to that place of self respect and self love, but it truly is all about the journey to get there. One of the greatest sayings us motorcylce riders have is that it is not about the destination, it's about the journey - that can be applied to many things in one's life.

That's it.All my friends are like me except my bestfriend.But am the most sensitive and emotional amongst us all.And I know it.Am the most forgiving,most caring and most loving of us all.And I enjoy it.Ijust don't want to be that anymore cus I feel like I will do anything to keep my friends.I also want to see what they can do for me.I have never asked from my friends but am always ready to give to me.

iagree but the question is how do u go about getting peace with yourself cause i also have suffered from lonliness and its pretty much destroyed my life and im married with 3 kids and i find it hard 2 trust just about everybody i meet so i never open up 2 anybody and now after 12 years my wife tells me she cant do it anymore which in turn makes me fell even more lonely i also believe it has alot 2 do with self asteem cause i definitly have low self esteem stemming from my child hood and the things my father has said and done 2 me i never imagined that the feeling of being so lonely would carry on past childhood and into my 30s its crazy and i definitly have extreme anger issues i try 2 avoid face 2 face confrontation cause i do lose my temper very quick so if somebody out there can tell me how 2 be at peace with myself i woulkd definitly listen

You are most welcome, Adesana. I must clarify however, that I personally, am not a follower of allah of the Koran.
I am a follower of Christ - the One created heaven and earth, Who came to ransom the lost, Who rose from the dead, Who commands the storms to stop, Who heals, and promises to draw near to those who seek Him.
“Come to me, all of you who are weary and loaded down with burdens, and I will give you rest. Place my yoke on you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble, and you will find rest for your souls, because my yoke is pleasant, and my burden is light.” (Luke 10)
Peace and Joy to you - you are loved with an Everlasting Love.
: ) Christine
