Why do I still feel so alone when my family is so supportive of me?

Maybe it's because sometimes most of us feel like they don't know what we're going through. Feeling lonely has nothing to do with family support it's something inside us that we can't explain really.Sometimes we feel like we have no one to relate to or we feel like no one can understand us or what we're going through. which makes us lonely.

Sometimes, even if your family is there for you, there are some things you still can't tell your family, leaving you alone to deal with problems by yourself.

You want a change. Not that you want them out of what you're doing, you just want to prove something to yourself. You want to become independent, one who can stand on your own.

Sometimes even when you have the biggest possible support system you can still feel lonely. This could stem from feeling as though no one really understands you or simply feeling alone because whatever issue you're suffering with makes you naturally feel so separated from everyone else. It's nothing to blame yourself for though. It's not at all your fault.

It could possibly be that they are there physically but not emotionally. It is easy to say that they are here for you, but then not be available later. Or maybe even you are struggling to let them in. Make sure that you are willing to let them help and it may become easier :)

Sometimes your families support is great but at the same time you may be looking for support from your peers more so than your family. If you do feel alone because you feel like you dont have friends who support you, keep reminding yourself that your family loves you and really try to show each other that as much as you can so you dont feel so alone.

Even when family is supportive you have to teach yourself what makes YOU happy. Sometimes it takes time but when you get there you will know.

It is a basic human need to be understood by others. We all need a variety of interactions and relationships in order to feel happy and fulfilled. A supportive family is a great, healthy system, but you may need strong relationships with people outside of your family too. Encountering different people with different perspectives will open up new ways to see the world and yourself. Reaching out to like-minded people who may see you in a different light and who can provide new social interactions for you will make a very big difference.

Maybe you take them for granted. Sometimes when u have the people u need that are always there for you, you tend to not realize it till you loose them. So try appreciating them and their support.
