Loneliness hurts. Even when people are nearby. Here you can sort what feels hard right now and what small contact could be a beginning.
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.
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.
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.
This page offers orientation and words for first contact. If you need counseling, therapy, or emergency help, real contact points matter.
