It's amazing how you can be surrounded by friends but still feel distant from them. There are many reasons for this, such as pain, trauma, and heartbreak. I recently learned that loneliness can also cause this feeling. Some people believe that having many friends reduces loneliness, but that's not always the case. You can be with people and still feel alone, especially when they can't understand what you're going through and you're not ready to explain it to anyone.
You don’t have to be around people to avoid feeling lonely. Loneliness is not just a physical issue,it's also a mental issue. Some people have no friends and yet don’t feel alone. In today’s world of social media and online connections, it's important to recognize whether you feel alone or not. Loneliness is a state of mind that can be influenced by changes in environment, friends, or thought patterns.
Sometimes it is not people's fault that we are alone
In some societies, people tend to distance themselves from individuals who are seen as different or unique. This is because attention is often disliked when it is drawn to someone for the wrong reasons. Consequently, those who possess qualities that attract attention for the wrong reasons might end up feeling lonely. However, it's worth noting that some people experience loneliness as a result of their own actions. They desire change but are unwilling to engage with those around them. On the other hand, some individuals simply adopt an "I don't care" attitude, which ultimately leads to feelings of emptiness.
Another form of loneliness is when you don't want to understand people and you don't want people to understand you. You are not creating any connection with anybody, which makes you feel lonely. This is very common in our present world, where there are so many lonely people who are not just lonely but also empty. These are the people who don't care and don't want others to understand them. They long for love and connection and want people to feel safe around them. However, the harsh truth is, how can you get what you are not giving out? How can you be connected to someone when you are not ready to be connected to anybody?
Don't be lost
Some of us get lost in our problems and thoughts. We feel like we need to change all at once, and we start to believe that nobody understands us, and we don't want to understand anyone else either. This is just the result of overthinking. Some of us think we're not good enough for anyone, while others think that nobody truly deserves us, which leads to loneliness. These struggles are not real; they are just mental issues that can be resolved if we truly want to be found. The easiest way to do this is to get out of our heads, go out, and connect with people. When we think less and talk to others, it's easier to free our minds and avoid loneliness.
Thanks for your time.
