Common questions about loneliness

Is loneliness a mental health condition?
Loneliness itself isn't a diagnosis — it's a normal human signal that your need for connection isn't being met. That said, if it comes with prolonged low mood, hopelessness, or thoughts of harming yourself, please speak with a mental health professional; our guides aren't a substitute for that.
What if I've tried making friends and it hasn't worked?
It's common for the first few attempts not to stick — building a social circle as an adult is usually slow. Our guide on making friends after 30 walks through what tends to actually work over a few months, not a few weeks.
