Why Do We Feel Alone Even When We Are Surrounded By Many?
Perhaps, the reason I feel alone even when I'm not is that my mind just really gets messed up at times. I don't know. What about you?
@happyhormones,
Being surrounded by people and actually connecting with them are two very different things. You never truly feel alone if you are connecting with the people around you.That happens only when the people around you are helpful and not selfishly walking by ignoring you.But these days, that happens a lot. But,i don't think a lot of poeple actually mean to do it. I guess they just forget that they are capable of hurting you.SO yeah, you can be surrounded by a sea of people and still feel lonely. I know this because it's exactly how I feel a lot of the times.
And here's another thing. Sometimes, we are so used to having bad people around us that eventually we lose our ability to connect with the good ones too. That happens to me a lot. So, here's a piece of advice..when you see a good person trying to connect with you, let them in,let them help and you'll see all your lonliness go away. I promise.

I don't believe people are either good or bad. I just think everyone is looking out for their own interest. As long as you fulfil that interest they will find ways to connect to you.
I just don't belong anywhere and I know I'm an unlovable loser.
...
Sometimes its because i am feeling down or anxious ..and people around dont understand or know what to say...so they carry on as though nothing is wrong ...to a depressed person it sometimes literally feels like your whole world is falling apart and the fact that the people around you dont understand or just carry on as though nothing is wrong makes you feel even more alone in your situation.
So many people around us yet not one do we open up to fully or have a deep connection with, at least for me.
Perhaps this shows a lack of compassion in others.
I like to believe that we feel alone because nobody can really understand what is going through our brains. We can try to explain what exactly we're going through but most of the time they won't catch on to what we mean. I've tried so many times to explain to loved ones why I feel depressed, or angry or what have you but it always leads to the same "Well what do you mean?" even if I rephrase.
Being surrounded by people also doesn't necessarily mean you will be happy, it just means you are aquainted or have a friendship with somebody. Again, loneliness means somthing different to everybody.
You just have to try and find why you feel alone and try and fix it. As with anything, it takes time and can't be rushed.
That's my two cents anyways.
I have trouble trusting people and am always afraid they are messing with me and dont like me and dont care about me and spreading things about me. And thats what makes me feel alone
Personally I tend to feel alone quite often. I get along with my friends & family quite well but sometimes i can't help but feel like there's something missing with them. Like there's some sort of connection that's not there. I just know that it's out there somewhere but right now it's not I guess it just depends who you vibe with.
