World's Loneliest Fieldtrip 

First, most of the people in the class go home, knowing they don't need the fieldtrip. Next, there are 5 people left, including you. Three of them leave because they have to meet someone. And finally, the last one leaves because they have an appointment of some kind. This leaves you completely alone with the instructor. The resulting fieldtrip is so nostalgic that you can't help but use the bathroom of whatever facility the trip takes at, because your lunch is telling you it wants to move on after seeing the amount of progress you're making.

Key sign that one is about to start: Everyone in the class is staring at you when you say you'll go and you're the only person raising your hand. Prepare to be swamped by loneliness and nostalgia.

If you use this term, your trip might not be the record holder for the loneliest fieldtrip, but it might feel like it.
There are various factors that play in like isolation, space and nostalgia. So depending on the conditions, you may or may not be the record holder.
You're on a phone call with a friend:

You: Hello?
Friend: Hello. What is it.
You: I'm alone on the fieldtrip.
Friend: I told you know one would go.
You: This feels like the world's loneliest fieldtrip.

Loneliness 

1. that feeling when you know you have no one, but yourself. You’re all you got. You’re overwhelmed with isolation. You need someone to love you & you need someone to love. Not necessarily a boyfriend or girlfriend. It could just be a friend. Anyone you could share your thoughts, secrets, and dreams. you’re just sick & tired of having no one. You’re struggling by yourself. No ones there for you. You see people laughing & so happy with their friends, you get jealous or just wish to have something like that. but you don’t. at the end of the day, you go home by yourself.
If you’re struggling with lonelines because you haven’t found someone yet, I promise you, things will get better. You’re going to meet the greatest friend ever & you’ll never have to fear doing things alone. Hang on there, buddy.

Loneliness : having no one there for you.

urban loneliness 

A common side effect of big city life. The limitless amounts of social opportunities available creates a feeling of isolation when you for some reason don't exploit them. The depression is further increased by constantly witnessing other people seemingly overcoming these challenges better than you.
Alexander has been suffering from urban loneliness since he moved to New York. The sheer amount of things to do is a constant reminder of his own non-existent social life.

Loneliness 

That empty, dark, hopeless feeling you have. Maybe it's after losing a loved one, or maybe it's just the fact that you woke up in the middle of the night to feel the other side of the bed is vacant.
It's a terrible, terrible thing... Having a long, cold stretch of loneliness wash over you

Loneliness 

Something that will make you harder, meaner and colder.
Hang in there. You'll get there someday. Loneliness will only make you stronger in the long run.
