There have been times when I've felt extremly lonely. I think an app like this which connects lonely people together would be awesome!

I generally just visit some random subreddits or random rooms on Discord when I feel lonely.

Or, connect lonely people to those that might lend an ear, offer advice, or just offer support in some other way.

Normally, I'd say go see your doctor. I'm not sure if he has solid advice for einsamkeit but at least he can reference to a psychologist so you can get treated for depression. Many elder people are lonely, but the underlying problem is actually depression.

There's an alternative to creating an Instagram or Facebook for lonely people: learn to deal with it, and take the positive out of loneliness.

1) You don't have to take other's viewpoints, desires, preferences, opinions into account.

2) You can live in silence, and can therefore decide if/when you play audio or video, read a book, play the piano. Heck, do a solo sport, or meditate.

Once you have solace with being lonely, you can be productive. You'll be able to for example study, you'll be able to write a book.

Then, when you do meet other people, you'll have something meaningful to sure.

And then an application like this can hook these people up. But I wonder if platforms like Instagram and Facebook don't already also serve that purpose. Or, heck, something like deviantArt.

If you can't entertain yourself while you're alone or if you can't be productive while you're alone that's not loneliness. That's depression. I adore being alone, its when I'm most productive. Then again, I'm a loner, and I embraced that, and because I was only child I learned to entertain myself whilst being alone.

Suicide hotlines are generally under handed, I don't think we have enough people to help lonely people just yet.
