How can you feel so alone when you are constantly surrounded by people?

Answer 1

because you are not really connecting with anyone

Answer 2

Oh, I've been there. To sit and watch everyone around you talking, laughing, seeming to be having a good time and there you sit as if nobody sees you. Honey, lonliness is a state of mind. You either open up to people or you don't. If you don't take that chance to open up because of fear of rejection, or whatever reason, you'll always be alone.

I'm sure people are telling you it's a sign of depression, but I've been there,and I wasn't depressed. I was just more into studying people. It became a habit and before I knew it, I'd look around and realized I needed to put myself out there, be a part of the crowd, live a little and experience life. Looking back, I'm glad I did. Life is so much fuller, and although it's okay to fell alone sometimes, it's not a way to live.

I wish you luck....and remember to start off with baby steps, it's hard to change this type of behavior.

Answer 3

The issue is that the feeling you're defining as "alone" is actually a simple part of the human condition that - at best passes quickly. You have to remember that other people cannot define happiness for you - happiness is, at it's best, when you are self-content. You have to develop and cultivate a personal relationship with either your God, or if you don't believe in God, then a relationship and deeper understanding of your inner self. If you cease to work on that relationship, you will soon find that you will cease being happy.

Answer 4

it happens to alot of people. you feel disconnected, even though everyone in the room is someone you should be close to. sometimes this is a sign that things are not so well in your relationships- sometimes it could be depression trying to rear up. sometimes even anxiety about other things will make you shy or uneasy, and you will feel uncomfortable and alone. I have had this happen on a few occasions. Its good to sit and think about what the reasons might be for you feeling that way, and try to address the problems.

Answer 5

You can feel alone when you're surrounded by people. Its part of being human. But you said "constantly." Are people around you 24/7? Obviously they aren't around you when your sleeping or bathing, etc.

Answer 6

Because for the most part, people aren't paying any attention to you... so it makes you feel invisible. Did you ever go to a party and you're talking to someone and you know in your heart they're not listening to anything you're saying. And have you ever done that to someone talking to you? The world moves too fast now and we all want to know what's next... so we forget to live in the moment. You're not the only one to feel this way. But I'm sorry you do. If it's really, really bad you may be depressed and might want to talk to your doctor. Hang in there... if I ever meet you at a party or in a crowd, I promise to pay attention! :-)

Answer 7

That is so wierd that you asked that question. I was having a conversation with a friend earlier today about the same thing. I feel lonely much of the time, even when there are other people around me. Even if they talk to me, I still feel lonely, but I have bipolar disorder. I guess it is a sign of depression.

Answer 8

1. You are not trying to reach and connect with others.
2. more importantly , you dont encourage others to reach out and connect to you. this could be temporary. you are depressed when you feel like it. it is OK if this phase is temporary. But being like this for a prolonged period is not a good idea. it will be like shutting yourself in a room. you should go out or at least open the door , so that others can come to you.
CHEER UP!!!!!

Answer 9

Because all your life you have always felt as if your on the outside looking in. After feeling that way for so long it becomes the only place your familiar with and the only place you feel safe.

Answer 10

Easily. If you don't connect with anyone or feel like they are able to understand you, that alienates you and makes a person lonely. It is up to you though, to make a move to connect with others and be part of the group.

Answer 11

Maybe it is because your with the wrong people. You may feel like you dont fit in or something. Just try to find people that you can be yourself with. So that you dont feel so lonely.
