Signs interacting with others

The signs of loneliness interacting with others include:

Having purely transactional communication – you are no longer talking about ideals, dreams and anticipated excitement.
Different sleeping times to the rest of the household – sometimes as an avoidance of interacting.
Showing poor judgment how you interact with others – you might be coming across as detached, indifferent, unfriendly or overly defensive.
Over-focusing on your child or animal – to the exclusion of your other family members and fellow human beings, perhaps as a sense of belonging and feeling warmth.

Lacking social skills – you act inappropriately and make insensitive comments for the situation.

Frequently contacting on-line friends – more than you meet up face to face with friends.

Displaying less patience and increased frustration – sometimes as a result of you focusing inwardly so you think in terms only of how something affects you.

Increased arguing and bickering with people close to you – sometimes deflecting talking about what you are really feeling.

Hearing your friends also talk about being lonely – you might not be connecting in a deeper meaningful way.

Constantly talking or looking for people to talk to – looking for more social interaction.

Frequently interrupting others – not able to be happy in your own thoughts for too long.

Withdrawing from others – possibly because it’s easier than having to make an effort to interact, or you have given up trying.
