I get very uncomfortable if I have to express myself to friends or family, and I don't think they'd understand anyway. Sometimes i just feel utterly alone. Have you ever felt this way and if so how did you cope?

Yes, and it is just something you work through, reading a good book helps, taking the dog for a walk wearing my mp3 helps, sometimes a late night swim, but yeah, I feel your pain.

Gee, I am so sorry that you feel that way. You are not alone. Your family loves you, even though you may not know it now. And your friends should respect what you have to say and not hurt your feelings when you express yourself. If they do not, then they are not your "true" friend. I would rather have one true friend than a million not so good friends.
As for coping, you need to reach within yourself. You need to love YOU! What you say and think DOES matter. You need to build confidence within yourself. You need to work on YOUR self esteem. What you say IS important - just as important as what anyone else has to say. After all, I am only responsible for my actions and no one else's. You should treat others as you would like to be treated. Show them respect as well to earn their respect back.
I wish you all the best. I am sorry that you are feeling this way. I, too was lonely. But it took me a while to find happiness within myself. I hope you will find this happiness... I can already tell you are a smart person by your question. Good luck and God Bless.

Yes... I feel lonely sometimes, especially when I think no one understood me, and sometime it feels that no one really care about me. I'm the only one in my family that doesn't run the family bussiness. My brother and sister, they get involved. So... in someway it become a distant when they start talking about bussiness that I don't understand at all. I feel alone that time. But.. I manage to survive, I guess we all feel that way one time and it doesn't really mean no one care or love you. In fact is I enjoy my time alone too.

I feel like that everyday unfortunately. It's not that I don't have friends I just don't feel like talking to them sometimes, or picking up the phone. I just cope by finding something to occupy me and pass the time.

Sometimes you just gotta speak your mind. Pick one of your friends that you think you can trust, and express away, to get the ball rolling. It may lead to a deeper friendship... ya never know if you don't try.

Some people wish they had some time to themselves. Learn to enjoy yourself instead of sitting there doing nothing. Turn on some tunes and dance in your room or go outside and look at nature. Things in nature are alive and perhaps your company would be appreciated ... who knows, a butterfly might fly by to say "Hi!" Smile, smile.

Yes, I got used to it, so it really doesn't bother me anymore. Just go outside & watch people & be glad you don't have to live with them. I love life, yet I really can't stand people because they are so screwed up in their heads & most of them just want to dump their crap in your lap! I get my amusement just by watching them from a safe distance & rarely do I choose to interact with MOST of them. It's fun, try it sometime!

existential theory of psychology states that we will struggle with this loneliness all of our lives because no one can absolutely know/share our personal experiences, feelings, thoughts ect... they call this existential loneliness. part of being okay with it is just knowing that there is no perfect way to express ourselves
