Moderate Loneliness

You answered this quiz consistent with people who are suffering from moderate loneliness.

A certain amount of loneliness is a normal part of most people's lives. But when your feelings of loneliness can become a bit overwhelming or more serious than usual -- like now -- it may be a sign that something isn't quite balanced in your life.

I used to be at odds with being alone a few years ago, I felt very consciously alone and it tore me up that I didn't have many or any friends, I wanted someone to hold and to hold me back... but something changed in the last few years, it's not just that I accept being alone, but I also feel comfortable and happy alone. I don't really seek the company of others any more except on the very rare occasion. I still want a person to have romantic interest in me who I feel the same about, and want to hold them... but I don't long for it, it does not bother me that I do not have someone, and I'm not actively looking for anyone to fill that gap. I have friends but I very rarely see them and I am fine with that, perhaps preferring it. I live with family but I don't speak to them much or at all, and I'm more comfortable with that than the alternative.

So I guess what I'm saying is, I am very alone, but not very lonely... It is my personal opinion that this test focuses more on whether the person is alone than whether they are lonely.

i took this test again, and i scored 37.

38 but I don't feel like I suffer from 'extreme loneliness' - I mean, I feel lonely sometimes but tbh I don't think this quiz works if you like being alone.

I didn't take the quiz, but I'm lonely lately and it's because I'm new and do not feel like going to events alone and dislike hot weather. It has bee very hot lately and I stay inside with my best friend, my dog:). I like to be alone most of the time, but on weekends like to have friends to hang out with maybe Friday and/or Saturday.

I scored 38.

Extreme Loneliness

You answered this quiz consistent with people who are suffering from extreme and severe loneliness.

A certain amount of loneliness is a normal part of most people's lives. But when your feelings of loneliness can become a bit overwhelming or more serious than usual -- like now -- it may be a sign that something isn't quite balanced in your life.

You may find that you could benefit by trying to reach out to others in your life -- right now. A close friend or family member whom you trust and talk to can go a long way in helping to relieve feelings of loneliness in many people.

But I don't usually feel lonely when I'm alone. I prefer being alone. Sometimes I feel lonelier when I'm with other people than I do when I'm by myself.

I feel extremely lonely when I'm in a crowd of people present for a common purpose--like a wedding.

When I'm home alone, I might get lonely--but I enjoy the solitude, similar to Jaeger.

32 - Extreme Loneliness

You answered this quiz consistent with people who are suffering from extreme and severe loneliness.

Came looking for a post regarding loneliness. This test result could not be more accurate. I was initially wondering if a person could become so lonely that they could eventually die from it. As if, perhaps, one's heart could just stop beating due to it's intensity. I know it's a morbid thought, but I am feeling as though I could be dying inside, from loneliness...

Didn't need a quiz to tell me this but I got a 36.

I got a score of 16 ("Normal Lonelienss" (It's hard to put too much faith in a test that spells "loneliness" wrong.)), but it was difficult to answer, as many of the options were clearly intended to have negative connotations, while I don't have a negative impression of the question when interpreted literally.
