Hi, i tried to find antonym to a word "lonely", a feeling describing longing for solitude or discomfort connected with too many people around. I couldn't find accurate word even in my own language.

Solitary or withdrawn maybe?

    Yeah, these two seem the best so far, not exectly what I was looking for, but nevertheless the best, thanks.

Yes "beloved" is so good

    But it doesn't describe feeling, that's one, two it is not what i am looking for. When you want to be alone you dont feel "beloved".

Seems that you want the opposite, antonym not a synonym as some people said.

This is kind of hard, but I guess in english you can use the words "sociable", "unlonely" or even "beloved".

    I specifically said "antonym", please read carefully. Sociable isn't describtion of feeling, but trait; unlonely sounds like you are ok with people around you, and beloved is again more of character trait.

Based on your question it seems you're looking for a word that specifically means feeling alone while surrounded by other people? "Isolated" or possibly "ostracized" would work.

    No, feeling alone while with other people is a different feeling. As i described, feeling of desire, longing to be alone, while there are people around. And i don't necessarily mean strangers, but family too. Sometimes you are tired of others and want to be alone. When someone sees you and ask how do you feel, what am i suppose to say then?
