I scored 29 and it says its almost extreme, which suprises me because I thought I didn’t feel that strong about given questions. Strange. I don’t want to dig too deep into my loneliness, so I’ll stop here to not overthink it
yeah 29 is at the peak of extreme. The only thing I earned about loneliness is that I have more time for myself and I get to become an expert on keeping secrets
I got used to being alone so much that it became a second nature to me. I am actually seeking alone time when I have been among people for too much. Not that I have any issues striking conversations with strangers like I did yesterday, its just that I grew to like being by myself. Not all the time, but most of the time. Plus we are never trully alone thank to the Internet
37 over here. And yup, i guess it makes sense. I did fit in between often and sometimes in several questions tho.
My guess is most people would get a high score on that test nowadays, regardless of being aware of their loneliness or not.
Maybe your right but I believe we are not like most people. Most people have it all with ease and no problem where they even enjoy themselves in being alone which is another way of being greedy they keep everything in their pockets never to share. My loneliness isn’t easy or gifted like most people. Your score is high to.
Yeah, you’re right there. I did say that to sort of point out that most people feel lonely nowadays (regardless of how many “friends” they have), but yeah, when you have a whole other bunch of troubles on top of it loneliness does weight a lot more on your shoulders. In my case, i still have the hope that i’ll get used to it eventually tho, hah.
I gots me a 36.. Not surprised though. Didn’t think I would need a test to tell me how lonely I am nor feel I guess I didnt think it would be quite as high, so there you go
30.
I don’t know if I’m strange but I love being alone and don’t mind being lonely but I do hate that I have a hard time talking to others about my problems.
Hi hiohneh!!! how are you it has been a while since we last talked. It’s nice to still see some people from last year on here haven’t seen hazel hope she’s doing good anyways thought I’d say hi an thanks for participating in the quiz. Yeah the quiz probably gives a higher score for those who don’t enjoy being alone like working by yourself or watching TV stuff like that I don’t mind being alone but if it’s something that doesn’t require to be alone I start to hurt especially since I don’t have any friends. Girls always look at me like wow he’s cute. I get a lot of “you have beautiful eyes” I just don’t know what to do with it and being single all my life at 26 is a loneliness to the max
Hi! 🙂 I remember I took the depression quiz you shared last year and got a 71% score. I wonder if I should take it again to see how I would score now since things aren’t going too well for me.
I think I’ve come to accept not having friends to hang out with or talk to but it does still hurt. I’ve noticed I tend to push people away so it’s probably better since I’d only end up hurting someone. Unfortunately, I don’t think a romantic relationship will ever be in the cards for me. I don’t know. It’s complicated and it’s something I’m trying to figure out. :-/
How have you been? I hope everything is okay. 🙂
Yay you remembered. Sorry you are feeling bad and Sure I think you should take the quiz. Welcome to the club I have been single my whole life never had a girlfriend.
I get that too. I prefer having time to myself and struggle in social situations (social anxiety) I’ve never had many (at times even any) friends.
I hate how you and I feel about ourselves and lives but I love how we can relate
That’s why I like this site, its like a sanctuary you know? I realise I’ve not been posting for long but I’ve been a member for a while and before that I’d just browse when I couldn’t sleep so its been my go-to for a while just took a while for me to speak up
I did the exact same thing to in the beginning after sometime passed I became more comfortable and I wanted to be more involved with other users
You scored a total of 40
Hi Nidda I remember you and wow you scored perfect I definitely know where you are coming from that’s why my user name speaks for itself sad life idk what 958 stands for but nice hear from you
Scored 25 😛
18. I’m sure it would be under 15 if I felt it was easier to make (physical) friends.
I was raised a solitary only child. I learned to entertain myself.
30
Hey, that’s the first time I’ve scored that high on anything. Heheheh.
Hi empty Pluto thanks for taking the quiz you are at the peak of loneliness no surprise since Pluto is empty it’s self still I wish I could of visited it. This quiz isn’t all accurate what matters most is what you know about how lonely you feel
“How to get a perfect score of 40, insert “often” as every answer”
bingo, 40!, YES! swish, nothing but baby! scooore!!
oh.. wait a minute… 🙁
40
Me too.
I scored a 30. I realize that I can’t be without my phone which is what fills the time for me when I’m alone.
I didn’t score well. I have zero real friends, but I guess I’m used to being alone…
You should google John Cacioppo. He’s an expert on loneliness.
I’ve seen his Tedx Talk on “Lethality of Loneliness”. I loved it !
I scored 40.
Lonely, except that I have my parents, in my case I probably chose to be alone cuz I got toxic people out of my life, who I only knew online. I’m the odd one out here, I am fine being alone.
