Loneliness

Everybody feels lonely sometimes. But only few of us are aware how important this feeling was for our ancestors - and that our modern world can turn it into something that really hurts us. Why do we feel this way and what can we do about it?

The worst thing is going from feeling extremely lonely, to extremely fulfilled, then lonely again

[tlvdatsi]

The worst thing is being around people and feeling like you are invisible

[___slowrider___]

The worst thing is being alone in a crowd. I go out to try to make friends and meet people but i end up feeling more isolated than ever.

[poojaach]

The worst is..when u spend time with ur "friends" and feel like u don't belong there anymore. Such a contradicting feeling that is.

[dmwmlnt]

The worst part of loneliness is when you watch a movie and want to share your opinion with someone but you have nobody
and you end up talking to yourself

[dragosmicu]

"I think my biggest problem is that I love being alone but I hate being lonely."

[itsAnnaVictoria]

I began tearing up from how well they explained the daily living hell of loneliness I have, and began straight up crying when they explained how I actually can help my self..thank you so much.

“If you feel lonely you are lonely”

Quote of the year

[Art-eccb]

The best wombo combo is loneliness and low self esteem; everything else flows from it.

[t_t__]

The most connected era in the history and yet the most lonely one too.

[Metrasov]

it’s been probably 3-4 years since i found this, i come back to it from time to time, once or twice a year, and find myself in tears almost every time

"Decline invitations untill the invitations stop"


Bold of you to assume I ever got any.

[AdityaRaj-qutq]

"Loneliness makes you decline invitations till invitations stops"
TOTALLY AGREE..

[Derfiser]

The feeling that you have everybody around you, but not with you

[meat]

"decline invitations, until the invitations stop" hit me like a truck

[wisammikhael]

You know the world is dying when a video called "Loneliness" is #1 on trending

[boneshrimp]

Man, You know that feeling when someone you consider a friend ignores you and makes you feel like you've been dumped
