You look the same as Olga!!!! It is understandable when terminally ill, old or homeless people feel lonely because they may have no one to share their lives with and ease their loneliness. However, some people can be lonely even when they are in a roomful of people. The feelings of loneliness come from deep inside. My opinion is that If people helped others who are less fortunate, they would not have time to dwell on their own feelings of loneliness.

Because they're alone.

There are many reasons as to why a person would experience loneliness. The first, and most obvious, is for the person to undesirably be in solitude. In other words, be on their own when they'd rather be with social relations. Another reason is for a particular relation to be absent whilst other relations are still apparent. Feelings of loneliness have also been closely linked with many social or psychological problems such as depression. The best way to think about loneliness is as a comparison between a person's desired levels of social interaction with their achieved level. It is possible for people to feel lonely even whilst surrounded by people they have close social connections with. For example, people generally feel lonely after losing loved ones, even whilst surrounded by friends and family. Although feelings of loneliness are closely linked to solitude, a person that is on their own isn't always unhappy with the current situation.
