It's weird I guess I have a somewhat normal family, and I'm even in a fraternity, but everyday I feel like I'm all alone in the universe and feel like if I died would anyone really care? Anyone else feel like this or have ever felt like this.

Robert Frost wrote about that very feeling. I think most everyone feels alone at some point in their lives to some degree. It may bother some more than others ( I, for one, am never lonely, and do not mind being 'alone' ) possibly because some of us are more comfortable inside their own heads and skin than others. It's the kind of lonely that you describe that the presence of others cannot fill. It really has nothing to do with other people; it has to do with YOU... and your sense of self. You mention a frat house... are you in college? If so, there will be counselors there who can sit with you and discover what is at the base of your lonliness. And once you find THAT out, there can be a filling up of that hole in your life by YOU, and it won't matter to you if, or how, others think about you, or even if they are in your life at all. Think of all the political or religious prisoners, or even those incarcerated for serious mistakes who have genuinely changed. They could all feel that utter aloneness you speak of... but most of the time, they come through a situation like that with flying colors. How? They were comfortable in their own heads, and quite possibly, that is all that they may have HAD that no one could get to! If you love yourself, and you believe that God loves you as a valuable member of mankind, then lonely need never happen! Good luck to you, and know that others really DO care what happens to you! Me, for one, who doesn't know you at all other than that you asked a heart-felt question, and I answered you. Take care!

I have been asked this one before. There was one time I felt so alone and so scared. Big guys in uniform are not supposed to feel scared, but we are only human. Lots of things were going on and there was so much noise and my pals were nowhere to be seen. I discovered afterward, when we were back together, that they were having their own 'lonesome' problems. That's why we need good friends who are always there for us no matter what.

This answer probably won't go over well but..... I used to feel isolated and alone, and was having a hard time getting over an illness, feeling down... and recently I started reading a book about religion. It was really nice to be told that God totally loves me, wants me to be happy, healthy and successful, and thinks I'm a great person, even when I feel like I'm not.
I feel so much better - maybe it's all in my head.. I'm sure it is. But it feels good. Now when I go outside to rehabilitate, I don't feel so isolated an alone.

of course i think we all do from time to time. we start questioning the whys, the hows the what ifs. you're trying to find your place in the big scheme of things. amazing how someone can feel alone in such a great big world. might i suggest you find a new activity or hobby? go visit some friends and plan an evening out. it happens to all of us. but if this feeling continues i gently suggest talking with a counselor.

You may feel separate from everyone and everything else, but that is a delusion caused by a false sense of who you are.

Try to find contentment-
in your loneliness.
Define contentment for yourself...
