Loneliness is something you feel even with people constantly being around you. People being physically with you doesn&rsquo;t automatically wipe away the feeling of being lonely. For instance, romantic relationships occasionally have their lonely moments.
If feeling lonely is a recurring feeling for you while you&rsquo;re in a relationship, you might want to reassess why you&rsquo;re continuously feeling that way.
Here are possible reasons why you feel lonely in a relationship:
1.&nbsp; Stuck in a routine or loop
-&nbsp; It may be possible that you&rsquo;ve reached a plateau in your relationship. Not that there&rsquo;s anything wrong with routinary days, but frequent lack of novelty and having dull conversations can make the relationship feel bland.
2. Dating a self-centered/narcissistic partner
-&nbsp; Realizing you&rsquo;re dating a narcissist won&rsquo;t be something you instantly recognize in the early stages of your relationship. They often lack empathy because they feel bored or uninterested whenever you express how you&rsquo;re doing or how your day went.
3. You would rather commit to other plans
-&nbsp; After a significant period, you might feel distant towards your partner. It arrives to an unfortunate point that you&rsquo;d rather spend your time with other people than spend it with your partner.
4.&nbsp; Excessive codependency
- Being too dependent on your partner causes more harm than you think. If you lack security within and your emotions depend on your significant other, you won&rsquo;t ever feel fulfilled no matter what.
5. Necessities aren&rsquo;t being met.
- Lack of intimacy in a relationship can be a factor in feeling loneliness. Not having your special moments together can cause coldness. However, when you do spend intimate moments, there&rsquo;s an empty feeling.
If you can deeply relate to the abovementioned, consider communicating with your partner. Don&rsquo;t be afraid to let your partner know your honest feelings. Show them your vulnerability as it might spark a long dimmed candle between you two.
