It is true that people who are lonely need and desire help even if they refuse to ask for it. They react poorly to any information that requires them to act. They seem to be quite happy to listen to "lonely" songs and read the research done by physicians and psychiatrists as long it doesn't require any action on their part. Even when they are presented with actions that could provide immediate relief from their loneliness, quite a large number of them react with suspicion and avoid taking the actions. It seems to have something to do with the fear that accompanies loneliness. They have become separated from other humans and are afraid, even afraid of the humans they have become separated from.
