I’ll be explaining why someone would ever feel lonely all of a sudden.
Why am I feeling lonely all of a sudden?
You could be possibly feeling lonely out of the blue for these reasons:
- Feelings of emptiness
- Unusual experience
- Lack of Progress
- Desire for companionship
- Being single
- Uncertainty
Feeling of emptiness
The feeling of emptiness is usually associated with Borderline Personality Disorder.
It’s usually something that stems from a lack of purpose.
There’s a lack of connection somewhere.
Or even a lack when discussing meaningful relationships.
You might literally be alone.
I personally had this feeling with most of the traditional 9-5 jobs I had earlier in my working career.
If there’s anything I learned to fight this feeling it’s to do the following:
- Gently acknowledge the emptiness
- Save time for yourself every day
- Explore your current feelings
- Explore your feelings of emptiness
- Practice self-care
- Commend yourself
It took some reflecting to really understand but I figured out why I would ever feel that way.

I’m more likely to suffer that feeling if I feel I’m succumbing to whatever my circumstances are.
Unusual experiences
There may be a moment of tricking yourself into thinking you’re lonely because of not being familiar with a situation.
It could be something like getting on a plane for the first time or anything.
The point is if you’re not accustomed to whatever the event is then you might be feeling lonely because of that.
Lack of progress
Having a feeling of non-progression absolutely contributes to loneliness.
This can be assumed because you’re most likely feeling left behind when it comes to the goal.
Perhaps the number reason someone would feel a lack of progress is thanks to lack of belief.
If you’re not believing in the work you’re doing then you most likely won’t be motivated to take action.
Desire for companionship
Can you believe there’s people that believe they absolutely need a relationship to feel complete?
Believe it or not I was that way to a point it consumed me almost completely.
That’s something that comes from a poor mindset if you were to ask me now at this point in time.
You believe that another person must validate you in order to be heard.
There’s nothing particularly wrong with it but it doesn’t encourage longevity.
Being able to hang for the long term in this modern age requires the ability to pick yourself up.
Or at least have a spiritual foundation that’s extremely difficult to move.
