If you have a problem because you feel lonely all the time, you can benefit from learning new ways to overcome your loneliness and improve your sense of being connected to other people.

On this website I have put together many articles that can help you overcome loneliness and make new friends.  As well, there are many resources listed that can help you overcome some of your problems with loneliness.

There can be many reasons why a person may feel lonely.  Very often that sense of loneliness comes from a deep seated feeling that we are very different from other people.  We feel alienated from the rest of humanity.  We feel that there is something about us that is so different from everyone else that we don't dare to take a chance to approach others in case they might reject us.

Do you often feel like you can't make friends because nobody understands you?  Do you feel as if you are too different from the rest of humanity to fit in with others?

This is a common sensation among lonely people. 

We feel that no one can understand us or like us.  We are convinced that those few people who seem to like us must be making some sort of mistake.

If you’re going to overcome your loneliness, it’s helpful to know why you feel so isolated and alone.  It is also important to know that these beliefs you have about your loneliness can be changed.

Are you lonely because you lack confidence in yourself?  Do you truly feel undeserving of all happiness and friendship?  Do you feel overwhelmed when you are around others?  Are you very sensitive?  Are you very shy?  Are you depressed?  Do you simply lack social skills?  Have you had a very difficult upbringing?

One thing that you must realize is that loneliness isn’t something that is going to go away by itself.  Loneliness isn’t something that will change unless you do something that will change your lonely life.  

If you want to overcome loneliness, you can’t keep thinking and acting in the way you always have in the past.  You will need to start making some changes to the way you think and in the way you behave around other people.

Sometimes we are confused about how we can begin to make these changes.  In that case, it can be useful to have someone give us guidance.  This person could be a therapist or a counselor or even a trusted acquaintance.

If we are lonely, we can’t keep sitting at home and simply dream that one day we will somehow suddenly become popular.  We have to start going out where the other people are, and we have to start trying to talk to them.  We have to be very supportive of ourselves as we make this new journey.  We can’t be mean and critical towards our selves if we want to be happy and have friends.

The following article by the author Rick Cowles offers some suggestions that you can use to help you overcome a sense of feeling lonely and alienated from the rest of the human race.
