Is it normal to be lonely all the time?

Hmm.Worth a closer look

Feeling lonely sometimes is very common, but feeling lonely all the time can be exhausting and is worth paying attention to. You deserve support and connection, not pressure to just tough it out.

Lots of people feel lonely, even when they’re around others. It can happen when you’re missing close connection, going through a change, or feeling like people don’t really see you. It doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you.

But if it feels constant, or it’s affecting your mood or daily life, don’t brush it off. Try telling someone you trust what’s been going on, and consider talking with a counselor or other mental health professional. You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable to ask for support.
