No not if you get the right kind of help at the right time, Everyone can be lonely from time to time, but when the lonleiness starts taking over your thoughts and your life, thats when help is needed, this is when you should discuss your feelings with a doctor, thats what they are there for help support and medicate you!!
Good luck

Lonliness can actually make a person very strong.
In my experince I need no friends.
Those who think those things are essential are those who count on other people for their happiness.
I think it can. It definitely can be a cycle if those feelings and resentment continue, and the anger eats at you--I know.
If you or anyone you know feels that way, talk to someone ( a professional), get into a physical activity or get a hobby. It helps.
It can if you have an outgoing personality, the loneliness can become a prison cell with very little light.
We all like solitude from time to time but to much can have detrimental effects on our wellbeing !! :)
I PREFER solitude. I don't like being around people, but we ALL need someone supportive to turn to in crises.
Yeah, it can be a vicious spiral. I was in that vicious spiral until a good friend (who I haven't even seen for years) told me that I needed to do something about it. I'm so grateful to her!
Loneliness is crippling, and I think it is a common problem in modern society, we just aren't a community anymore; every man for himself.
I decided that the only way to get out of the spiral was to do something drastic. Join a club, a class, a social group, a church. It doesn't have to be a place to make best friends for life, just somewhere that you are mixing with people. And preferably the same people regularly.
No-one needs to be lonely; there are so many people out there. I guess for some of us it just takes more effort to belong.
I joined a class and moved to a church where there are people who care about me (and I care about them) It has made all the difference; I don't feel lonely anymore and am more tolerant than I was. (I'm still not too tolerant with bad drivers tho! :)
It is indeed a vicious cycle. Being alone makes people want to be more alone whereas if you socialise regularly then you're likely to want more friends. It's all just common sense - most problems in life have a counter balance like a coin has TWO sides to it. If you have too much of one thing then you will have not enough of something else e.g. if you have a girlfriend then you see your friens less often and vice versa.
absolutely...
