Is it normal to be lonely at 18?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s normal to feel lonely at 18. A lot can change around that age, and feeling disconnected doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you or that it’ll always feel this way.
Eighteen can be an awkward in-between stage: school, friendships, home life, or plans for the future may be shifting, while the feeling of having “your people” hasn’t caught up yet. You can be around others and still feel lonely, too.
