Lonely and alone

Hi

Would you say that lonely and alone are both equally natural here?

Sometimes I feel so lonely.

Sometimes I feel so alone.

Thanks,

Tom

Yes, meaning pretty much the same thing. "alone" can sometimes refer to a physical rather than emotional state, but here the verb "feel" makes it clear that an emotional state is meant.
