I just sometimes feel that way. And I don't know which category to put this in.

I think I know what you mean. I have the same feeling at times. I believe that the reason we feel so alone is because we cannot identify with those people; we see how much they differ from us and begin to feel that they won't be able to understand us. And, if they are many, it is easy for us to feel on the outside; on the wrong side. We fear that we have the wrong ideas; values that pass by unappreciated by the majority. Of course, that feeling of loneliness could also be a result of people's indifference and the hypocritical nature of social relations; when you know that someone dislikes you and, yet, (s)he smiles at you, pretending that (s)he really cares. Yuck! The mere thought of it makes me sick. Overall, we feel alone because the people we're dealing with, everyday, are not the ones we would like to deal with. It's a cruel (not small) world, I know. There have been times that I didn't want to get out, thinking that I would have to meet those people... Thus, I ended up staying whole weeks at home... not even going to the super-market... I just hope that there will come a day that we will have all the love we need so as not to be bothered with the bad way we are treated by some...

We come into the world alone and we leave alone. Dig deep enough and everyone has such feelings at some time in their lives, some, all their lives.
We share space and physical contact, fall in and out of love and we reproduce, for survival of the species, it's why we're here.
Only when we accept our lonely state of being, as an individual in a hectic world, when being alone isn't terrifying to us, and when we are in touch with our deeper self, can we find true contentment and hope to have a good effect on others.
For myself, I have a deep abiding faith (no denomination) as a Christian in God through Jesus Christ.
No one taught or indoctrinated me, it happened in my youth inside a coma (NDE) at the tender age of eight. I was shown another world, and the joy and peace God showed me, proved I was not and never would be, alone. The wonder of it, has sustained me throughout my life and seen me through many, many hardships, and many more close encounters with death.
No one walks alone, we only think we do, because we have not yet connected to our faith and opened up to understanding, that, this is not all there is to life!

I know what you mean. Sometimes being in the most crowded place can be the loneliest, I felt that way at Christmas.
Take a step back and reevaluate the things in your life. Are you happy? Is there something or someone missing? What can you do to help improve this state of sadness?

These days everyone is so busy with their own problems & lives that they have no time to actually have a conversation.
This is the age of the text message & e-mail.
Sometimes all we need is a kind word, a hug or a smile.
I think this is why so many people treat their pets like babies. They are the only source of affection & comfort that some people have.
Feel better soon :)

Usually with myself because I am feeling a little self conscious at the time and lacking confidence. When it happens the issue is always with me. Other than just sometimes I have sensed an atmosphere that is nothing to do with me!
The solution? There are times when sitting back and just being the audience is really good. listening to ones own silence is good!

I can relate to that one well too.
It is because there is nobody in your life that values your sense of Trust and your sense of People.
It is because we don't have anyone in our lives who values Trust, Honesty, Respect, Caring, Sharing, Appreciation and Unconditional love.
It is because we have so many friendships but few genuine friendships. Most are just out for themselves and/or for money. We only want to be around the 1% of the population who doesn't.

For some it's because the person that they want to be with is not there with them and all they can think of is them. Therefore they feel alone because of missing that person.......

Some people put values on certain things. If you've got nothing they want they're not interested.
We live in a very selfish society.

i feel that way some times too i think it has to do with being depressed and feeling down and sad you might not think you are but if you talk to a proffessional he or she will tell you the same thing.
