The worst kind of loneliness is when your surrounded by people and yet cant talk or share what's really on our minds and feelings

[AnEnglishGentleman]

I can’t be the only one that spends my day job being incredibly nice to everyone, putting on a massive happiness front, then goes home every night to nothing and nobody? Netflix is my best friend these days 💀

[dylak]

I don't remember where I've heard this, but it's true: "the worst thing about loneliness is that you get used to it".

[AnOlivePit]

Its sad the fact that the only people who can truly relate to you aren't your family, friends, but people on the internet going through the same struggles you are going through

[realitycheck]

Her solution to loneliness is to call a friend as she says in the end of her video. Some of us aren't even fortunate enough to have even that luxury.

[joebloggs]

This woman sounds like she is about to burst out crying any second.

[beth.]

The type of loneliness that hurts me the most is when you finally open up to someone you care about and thought you could trust, and then they betray you. Because what is the point of sharing in order to not feel lonely, if it makes you end up in an even worst place?

[premanandameher]

Her eyes speak how painful it is to be lonely. A huge respect for her.

[paulmoore]

"Getting out and meeting people" means being lonely in crowded places.

[prakharsharma]

People don't care when you're alone they care when they are alone

[elleredmond]

The worst type of loneliness is having "friends" but at the end of the day feeling like they wouldn't notice if you were gone. Like you don't really matter

[im_just_vidu]

She's talking with tears in her eyes and trembling hands, yet give such a great message to the world.
Mad respect to her.

[linaxpau]

so much sadness in her eyes, so much stress in her voice..
i wish random hugs on the street were just as normal as taking pics of the food you're eating and sharing it on insta.
i'm sending a hug to every person that is reading this, you are not alone <3

[lamminebk]

but the bad part of loneliness is when i try to talk with strangers and they think i'm freak or intrusive😐

[umanshibakshi]

"There's nothing cool or brave or great about going through life alone."

[meo]

She looks nervous but I admire her courage to stand up in front of that large crown and speaking.

[royaltyLove]

I believe loneliness is caused when there is a lack of vulnerability in friendships, they are only surface level and has no depth and true feelings and thoughts are not shared and known but instead shallow conversations and topics are entertained.

[ilmaux]

It is almost a crime to be lonely. Everyone pretends to be cool and have friends, because otherwise people will think that there are something wrong with you.
There are way more lonely people than we can imagine.

[siliconiusantogramaphantis]

This woman is visibly terrified, her voice is shaky, she's obviously way out of her comfort zone, yet she's still speaking. Her need to communicate a message she believes in, wins over her fear. Ladies and gentlemen, witness courage in action.

that moment when you are sitting by you'r self drinking coffee in a crowded place, watching couples walking by you is the the most loneliness moment ever .
