Loneliness

Loneliness is an affecting state in which a human being experiences a powerful feeling of barrenness and separation. Loneliness is more than just the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is an emotion of being cut off, disconnected and estranged from other people. The lonely person may find it hard or even impracticable to have any form of significant human contact. Lonely people habitually feel a subjective sense of inner emptiness or worthlessness, with feelings of separation or isolation from the world.
