Feeling isolated in adulthood is common, but children can also experience loneliness. Here are 10 subtle signs of a lonely child:
Signs of a Lonely Kid
1. Incessant Talking
Kids who feel lonely will talk a lot in an attempt to make social connections, often backfiring and causing others to avoid them.
2. Constantly Interrupts
Lonesome kids feel resentful when attention is elsewhere and constantly try to redirect the focus to themselves.
3. Attention Seeking Behavior
The “look at me” performance to draw attention to themselves could be positive or negative, leading to destructive tactics.
4. Withdrawn
Some children withdraw and become isolated, spending much of their time alone in their bedrooms.

10. They Verbalize It
When your child laments, “Nobody likes me,” or “I don’t have any friends,” these are obvious cues of loneliness.
