Is it normal to feel very lonely?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes. Feeling very lonely is common, even when you’re around other people, and it doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you.
Loneliness can show up when you’re missing close connection, going through a change, or feeling like people don’t quite get you. You can feel it even with friends or family nearby; being around people isn’t always the same as feeling connected to them.
If you can, try reaching out to someone you trust or making one small plan that puts you around people you enjoy. And if the loneliness sticks around, telling someone about it can help—you don’t have to wait until it feels unbearable to ask for company or support.
