How do we determine, that we're lonely?
You can be lonely in the middle of the biggest fairground/corporate, while the next one joins in freely, and has fun, then no more loneliness!!! It tends to be your personality that will determine how lonely a person you are!

Most people who suffer from loneliness also suffer from self loathing and a fear of being alone.
The best way to overcome loneliness is to find self respect and embrace aloneness.

Maybe you did not understand the intent well
Many people
Famous or unknown
Rich or poor
Geniuses or fools
They realize that in our time
Everyone has become more lonely than ever before
Everyone knows it is unjustified
See the percentage of destroyed families and suicide rate among young people
There is nothing rational that can be explained
We are in the paradise of communication revolution
But we are not connected

New money. Doing right by people was less of a choice before the baby boomers, there were immediate consequences to selfishness and treachery.

Surely people must decide for themselves what is right or wrong for them? We don't have the right to judge anyone, except ourselves!

Lack of connectivity...
We have become piles of bricks layered without the mortar in between...

No one is connected to God
Or Satan
Or nature
Or society naturally and harmoniously
Or even with deep knowledge or spirit of morality
We are horribly lost

I don't think that's right, the world now is mostly tech stuff for communications, the art of face to face chatting is dissolving for older people who are used to face to face most of there lives.

We all are living longer nowadays and we must try to fit in with changing times.

Just look at us on csgrin not heard of 30 years ago so I don't believe you can pinpoint to self worth etc

"To be lonely means a negative state: you are hankering for the other, you are longing for company, you are missing the crowd. You cannot tolerate yourself; you feel yourself intolerable. You are bored with yourself – that’s what being lonely means – utterly bored. To be alone is totally different: it is utterly ecstatic. To be alone means a positive state. You are not missing the other; you are enjoying yourself. You are not bored by yourself; you are intrigued. A great challenge comes from your innermost core."

We are all normal and will at one point feel full range of human feelings, THe art is realizing this and doing something about it.

I live next door to a lady 93, she certainly has a self worth but has no family left and can't get out at all, yes she feels lonely at times but nothing to do with self worth.

I said in my earlier post, "most people."
Of course someone in the position you mentioned, and particularly at that stage of their life will have feelings of loneliness.
However, plenty of people with seemingly many things going for them are experiencing feelings of loneliness, while others in a similar situation do not. Why should this be?
I think the clue is when you hear someone say they're happy in their own company, whereas people who experience loneliness, generally speaking are not.
This aspect of loneliness has been acknowledged and we'll documented for quite some time.
