Intimate relationships are the core of a person's life, due to us all being social creatures. These relationships can come from love, affection, caring o ra deep attachment to a friend, relative, or lover. One might disagree, that they are not social. My retort is to think of a time that you were lonely around strangers.
Loneliness can be emotional or social. Emotional loneliness (less intimate relationships) can come from that time you were lonely around strangers; you may have been around people, but because they were strangers that feeling was still not the same as if those people were close, intimate friends. Social loneliness (less interpersonal interaction) results from socializing with fewer people than desired.
For some people, loneliness can be persistent or temporary. Results can be anything from childhood experiences to moving to another location. Depression may come from persistent loneliness and consequences can become very negative. Those who divorce or separate decline in their emotional and physical well-being. Although when intimate relationships are abusive or troubled they can cause emotional or physical problems.

Very Well done Jenny! It very true that loneliness comes from not being intimate. Something I find that is really important is some people do not know how to express themselves or interact with people, because of not having social experiences or being afraid of them ect. This can happen just from being away from people, like depression causes. These people really still want someone to be there for them even though they do not know how to express themselves. Giving someone a hug, pat on the back or a simple smile can help greatly. Thank you for the insight Jenny, your awesome!
