 Six signs to see if you are secretly lonely. Number one, you spend your days alone doing activities alone, eating alone, just scrolling through your phone mindlessly. The boredom you feel could actually mean you're feeling lonely. Number two, how do you feel when you see all those pictures on social media? People having fun. Does it make you feel a tiny bit jealous? If you're feeling lonely and left out, it's normal that you wish you could spend time with others rather than being alone. Number three, if a nice stream of hot water brings you comfort that you can't find outside, it could be a sign of loneliness. The lonelier a person is, the more showers and baths they take. Number four, loneliness is not just about not having any friends. It's about not having a close friend. It's also important to have someone to turn to who can help you when you're feeling down. Number five, if you're lonely, you're left with all your thoughts and ideas and emotions, but there's no one to listen. So when you finally find someone to have a conversation with, you have so much to say. And number six, if you are lonely, you may find yourself compulsively buying or hoarding items you don't really need that can become a substitute.
