You don't realize how lonely you are until something good happens to you but you don't have anyone to tell.

People are embarrassed talking to themselves? I’ve been doing it my whole life

[counterclockwiseemu]

Today was my high school graduation and no one showed up for me. Not even my parents. It was cripplingly painful to see friends hugging their parents and taking pictures while I had to go back to my own dark empty car and drive myself home.

sometimes i have full-length conversations with myself where i pretend that i'm being "interviewed" about my feelings or my day and on bad days these conversations can go on for an hour. it took me a while to realize that i do this because barely anyone ever asks me how i'm really feeling/doing

[naomi]

Sometimes you feel the loneliest when you’re around people. When they’re in groups talking to each other or laughing with the their friends and you’re just.. there

[Aa-rsjv]

One of the worst things is realizing that you are living most of your life in your head. The conversations, laughs, & friends you wish to have are all in your head.

The hardest part of being lonely is not knowing where the loneliness is coming from. You just feel empty and you don't even know why.

[ank]

I actually like to daydream about having my soulmate by my side, laying on grass and stargazing, dancing with them on my favourite songs, traveling together, ice skating, horse riding, going to carnival, sky diving and shopping all while achieving success and thinking about spending the rest of my life with them.

Does anyone else get scared that your friends and family secretly see you as a burden or just dont like you. Like they care about you, but they dont like you.

[oncerevulv]

honestly, the worst kind of loneliness is when you're surrounded by a big group of people and no one looks at you at all, as if you're not there

[brittanychapman]

I am watching this crying. I feel like this all the time: I am 39, not married and no kids and my dog was my whole world!!! He just died. The amount of loneliness I feel is soul crushing. I hold his stuffed animal every night and kiss it just to feel I have something to give my love to and feel close to something

[zoeyjackson]

It had been proven that loneliness can cause an early death. It’s insane how much we need connection.

[fionajuma]

Who the frick abandons their friend after telling them that they are suicidal

[ryanmiller]

One of the hardest pills I've had to swallow is acknowledging the fact that if I'm not the one initiating contact, hardly no one communicates with me.

[AgentT]

Being lonely sucks, its even worse when you try to be vulnerable, and everybody leaves

[ratikantraut]

I keep the television ON in my room just to hear and feel the presence of people. Helps me believe that I am not alone.

[Lucky-ylwb]

Not a single day passes where I don't talk to myself pretending there are people listening and interacting with me.

[aking]

The worst kind of lonely to feel is when you’re surrounded by people.

[ultrasonic]

I didn't realize just how truly lonely I was feeling till I started living in my car and realized I was too afraid to turn to anyone for help.

[Booklover-coffeelover]

Social isolation is a situation I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. It's a special kind of gut-wrenching, almost unbearable pain.
