I feel alone

Loneliness can hurt deeply, even when people are nearby. This page helps you sort what feels hard and what small contact could be a beginning.

What you might recognize

Maybe you withdraw, barely answer messages, feel strange in groups, or feel that nobody would really notice how you are doing. That does not mean something is wrong with you. Loneliness is a real burden and can be a reason to seek support.

A small contact is enough at first

It does not have to be a long conversation. A message, one short sentence, TelefonSeelsorge, a counseling center, or a trusted person can be enough so you are not completely alone with the feeling.

When loneliness becomes a crisis

If you do not feel safe, hardly sleep, have panic, or have thoughts of hurting yourself, this is not only about loneliness. Then real support matters now.
