Do you ever feel deeply alone?

Question

I don't know if "deeply alone" makes sense. I'm talking about the feeling that no one puts you first in life, that no one knows or understands the darkest crevices of your mind, that no one relates (or wants to relate) to your pain.

And do you regard the feeling of "alone" as negative?

I don't necessarily feel that way right now. But I go in and out of feeling this way on a pretty regular basis. Not trying to throw a pity party here.. just wondered if anyone else can relate. It is a scary way to feel.

(((((((((((((((dreamer))))))))))))))) let's just keep each other company, then, okay? no need to feel alone if we don't have to, right?

Answer 1

All the time.*

Answer 2

I am one Kat in a sea of fish...birds, dogs, people

There is a reason why nobody but you can see into those crevices - and dwelling too long in that dark place will leave you feeling deeply alone. I don't see it negatively. I see opportunities to expand by reaching out, just like you are doing now. Slap those issues on the table and we'll have a brainstorming session. That's what my loving friends and I do when one or the other is down in the cracks. We relate to each other, and it is the best therapy.

Hope I'm clear, sweetie. (((((((BIG HUGS 4 U)))))))

pain is a variable it gets to you ant time of day or night.
emotional pain takes forever to heal find your pathway get an outlet talk to people same age and experiences you have, you are not alone there are in the universe a lot of lonely souls waiting for you to say hi to, be kind to those around you your kindness will be repaid it works do for others volunteer at ehe nursing hoem down the road help out at local schools find a charity that does good things, become involved and there you will be lonely no more. never alone is best been there done that

Answer 4

Yeah. I have "major clinical depression." This is the best explaination of it I can think of... "Scary" is what it is, alright.
Do I regard "alone" as negative? Not in and of itself... alone and lonely are not the same things. The feeling you are describing is, however, the definition of negative.
I wish you good luck; I think I know just how you feel... and it requires help to deal with it. There is always the feeling of "I should be able to handle this myself." Not true, and please don't go on feeling this way without TRYing to help yourself... }:>

Answer 5

Yes, and sometimes it doesn't matter how many people are around me either. I feel isolated and out of the main stream often. I don't let it have a negative effect on me though. Because, just as you posted I am not alone on this particular feeling, just in my timing in having it.
You aren't alone, you just happen to not be on the same page as those around you. Whether its a page ahead or behind.

Answer 6

When our Kids do not come over to visit us, I feel so, alone even though I have my Husband at my side, it makes me feel like I am missing some part of me that is not there. But, then one after the other, start calling on the Phone, and explaining why they had not come over, it's like a ray of Sunshine shining down on us.

Answer 7

Yes. I felt profoundly alone a few months ago. But since then, I've discovered that I have more true friends than I had previously thought. And I've made some new ones as well. One of whom has been particularly supportive and valuable to me.

Answer 8

Of course...I have felt this way often. Frankly I do my best writing in this mood. But it really is an illusion for me. I have a soul mate who knows me better than my self and two grown sons who love me as well. My reality is much different that that feeling tells me my life is. I have to focus on my reality to get rid of this feeling.

Answer 9

That's how I've felt all my life. Which doesn't mean I don't feel loved, or don't have people that care about me. I do, and I love them all :)

Edit: I'm not talking about depression, here, these are two different things. I've also had depresion, but what I mean here is something else, and it's not bad, it's just how I am.

Answer 10

I've always been alone. There's never been anybody that I've trusted enough to share my deepest thoughts. I don't feel this is negative or positive. It's just the way things are.

One learns to be self-sufficient.
