How Lonely are you? Try the UCLA Loneliness scale

Post Reply New Topic

19. It's usually in the early morning after waking up and trying to get back to sleep. Talk radio helps greatly for my loneliness as it seems like someone else is right in the room with me.

I got 24, "moderate loneliness". I guarantee it would have been insanely higher two years ago. I guess I'm making progress.

34.

It's an accurate figure for I am an extremely isolated individual.

But I expect and hope that a new "obsession" will manifest soon, so the number should theoretically drop by a considerable margin.

I scored a 29. Just below severe loneliness. Don't really feel that lonely, although I am very isolated. I think I prefer that to how my life was in my 20s when I had a lot of acquaintances through a friend who was very controlling. On a certain level I felt like I "had" to go out in those circumstances, so I wouldn't have fun until I drank enough alcohol.

Yep that's me too. I don't feel particularly lonely right now even though I've been sitting in my room mostly to myself since I got off work yesterday. I disengage within (maybe longer with alcohol) an hour or two in most prolonged social situations with multiple people. I go to a meetup group (between 10-30 people) every other week at around 7pm and I'm usually ready to go home by about 9pm at the absolute latest. I've known the guys in the meetup group for years.. if I don't know the people at the gathering (such as a Christmas party for a company a friend invited me to a few years ago) I largely don't even bother trying to talk to people even the person I know there doesn't introduce me.

36 - "extreme loneliness"

31.

I often enjoy my solitariness, though.

took it again. 38. again.

36

went from 22 last time to 21, normal loneliness.

I don't think I needed that to tell me I'm extremely lonely.
But I don't really care if I have people or not. The only time it bothers me is when people judge me for only having one friend.

Thanks I feel kinda silly posting that now. I guess the isolation got to me last night.

100!%, lol. I feel so alone all the time. According to the MBTI (I took the legit thing) Im an introvert, but I think i got that answer because I wish I could have many friends and whatnot but i cannot make them thus I am an introvert because I have no friends. I wonder if I would be an extravert if I had friends to friend with?

35. No surprise there.

36, meh
