Loneliness Quotes

Loneliness has many different descriptions. But it is always unpleasant knowing that no one is there for you. It is a feeling of emptiness, solitude and pain. If the feeling is for real then people feeling it are called loners. But, if it is a psychological phenomenon then the sufferers must be treated before it worsens.
