I'm a widower (2+ years) and I posted this question on the Widows thread, so I wanted to ask the same question here so I can compare.
For some reason, I, and other widows and widowers, feel lonely, not when we're at home alone, but when we are at some social function. We see couples and families together and it causes us to feel alone and out of place. We feel less lonely when we are alone than we do when we are in a crowd.
When to you feel the most lonely? Alone or in a crowd? Thanks for your answers.

I don't feel lonely most of the time. Only sometimes when I'm at home and it's been quiet for a long time. I will get out and go somewhere for a few minutes of get busy doing something to take my mind off of it and it usually passes. For the most part, I don't mind being alone most of the time.

I feel the most alone when I get overwhelmed with life. Paying bills, working, grocery shopping, helping kids with their school work. Alot of these things my ex-husband helped me out with. He'd go to the store, 5 times a day if I needed him to. He'd take the kids out for me to rest. So, it's during those times when I notice that I am alone and want a companion there to be with me.

Good Morning 5 of 5.....both are wonderful threads and you have been given so many wonderful answers to your question....
I have thought about my aloneness....it happens after I take the cornbread out of the oven (as I recently learned how to make it very good) and set it on the stove....I realize there is no one here to want to get a knife and slice into it with me. There was another moment too....like on a Sunday morning.....when you get up with the smell of coffee to get a cup and realize you only have to get one...or go to the refrig to see if you have enough stuff to make a really nice breakfast. This alone thing really does sucks for the most part.
And for you 5 of 5......May whatever is happening in your life today go on and on!!!

i have to agree with you on this one, feel alone a-lot no matter if i'm with a group of riends or at home by myself. I miss that man that could make me smile no matter if i was mad,sad,sick he is the only one that has ever been able to do that. Everyone tells me it will get better but i haven't seen that yet..sigh....

When I think about my college years. My x husband and I were in college together because we both started after we got married. I'm still in touch with my closest friends from college, and most of them are married, happily, with or without children. I don't miss my x husband, or anyone I was serious with after him. I have good reason to not be with him or any of them. But I do miss what I never really had, which is to love someone, flaws and all, and know that they love me just as much if not more.

I too, like many others, feel alone in a crowd. I do things by myself such as go to the movies, eat in a restaurant, go to the park, etc. However, I feel that I stick out like a sore thumb because it seems as if everyone else has a partner.

You start to feel alone when your spouse who literally wants to kill you, starts saying that everything you do annoys her, even though she's literally trashing your house and breaking everything, and things are disappearing (because she's pawning your posessions.)
You feel alone when you've bought a luxury vehicle and drive her around with her family of con artists and MURDERERS and take them to a place to shop which YOU are paying for and you're left to park an oversized vehicle ALONE in a large, dark overcrowded parking lot while they skip into the store. They dont close the doors fully so you have to get out reopen the door and reclose it. Turns out this is just part of a con artist's technique of keeping you off balance. You walk alone thru the parking lot while your spouse and her family look at all the goodies they can buy with YOUR money.
There is something wrong, you can feel it, but you dont know what it is.
NOW i know what it is. You're being set up, you're being conned, you're being backstabbed. and if your con artist has any skill, they will ALSO go to their/your friends relatives family neighbors dr's and psychiatrists that YOU pay for, and say bad things to them about you, then come to you and say they're being rude to her, and ask you to protect them, FROM the friends neighbors etc.
so you are always suspicious and angry. which can be later used against you in court.
Anger management, PARANOIA <~~~~watch out for that word. ANYBODY starts using that word against you, you better watch out.
You can easily end up in jail or a mental hospital. Easier than you think.
It's done right here in america, just more subtly than other countries.
And when you are in jail or restrained in a mental hospital because you were set up and your FELON spouse is crying to your neighbors and YOUR FAMILY that you abused her, you can sit there and rot. Or maybe you can entertain the troops there by being a rape object.

Stop letting the media make you FEEL alone.
At least you are free. Maybe allllllllll those happy couples out there really arent so happy. But even if they are, at least you got your freedom. Stop getting married and stop buying the dirty SCAM known as marriage.
I call marriage The Vile Contract.
MARRIAGE IS A SCAM FOR CON ARTISTS AND MURDERERS TO GO AFTER YOUR MONEY.
You are better off "alone" then you are poorly accompanied. A spouse is BAD Company.
What is pathetic, absolutely PATHETIC is that some of you were trashed and broken in a marriage EVEN THOUGH YOU CANNOT DEFINE WHAT YOU'RE "WORKING ON" IN A MARRIAGE, and you're going to just GO AND MARRY AGAIN!!!!
Grow up and face reality before it's too late. YOU are lucky to be alive and you dont even know it. Take a good look at "marriage" and ask yourself if you'd still "love him" if he didnt marry you.
If not, why?
maybe YOU are in love with the CONTRACT.
Maybe that's all you been taught.
you had better learn how to take care of yourself.
or you're going to end up in prison, mental hosplital, or simply broke, in debt, and below poverty level.

Sometimes, I like the freedom of being alone and during those times, I do not feel alone or lonely. It feels good because there are no fights, no head games, no drama etc. Then there are so very many times I feel alone. Some of the times it hurts so bad and there is so hiding from it, like holidays, like quiet evenings at home, like going out to eat, etc. If you go to work and stay busy, life is almost bearable, but when you come home and know that nobody will be there, nobody will call, nobody will invite you out or over, nobody will even know that you are in agony, that is when I am most alone. Or, when at family reunions, movies, eating out, taking walks, or any other activity that should be fun, there is nobody to share with. Holidays are not ever shared, nor are good times of any kind, bad days at work, pride at doing something well, disappointment in failing, etc. When the nightmares overtake me, there is nobody to cuddle me and help me sleep. When the sensual nature in me wants to play there is nobody and on a good day, I can ease it myself, but on a bad day, I cry afterwards because I am so much more alone than when I started. You look at yourself in the mirror, you analyze your thoughts, your think about all your habits and lifestyle choices, trying to figure out what makes you alone when others are not. Mostly, just knowing all this can be felt and run around in your head or heart 24/7 and nobody knows or if they know, they don't care.

Here is something from an older person that you might wish to think about. Mom use to tell me not to grow old alone. she was so right in many ways but I did not listen to her.
I miss helping another when they need help and having it returned..I miss someone special to do fun things with and share my thoughts with. And yes, I miss cooking for two, doing the extra chores, even. These are the times I feel most alone.

I agree-I feel the most alone at social functions, or where I see couples with or without children. There are times I feel alone at home, too-especially when going to take a shower. For some reason, I want someone in the house with me when I take showers early in the morning or late at night?
