What makes you or someone you know feel alone in this world?

Question

I obviously think for myself and that's what I should do to keep living. Even then, everything requires balance. My family has a saying, "When you're in my presence, you're in my care." I often think about others. Since I'm in a small corner of the world, there's not much I can do. I feel accomplished when I know that I can do something specific. Sometimes I think about my past since I lack self-efficacy in this area. More often than not, my memories don't make me feel good. Beside the point, realizing that I haven't given up does. Of all the people in the world, I met who I met. Just because I did not have a long friendship with them doesn't mean they weren't meant to be present at all. Every connection has something to teach me even if it isn't perceived immediately. I came to G@G hoping to share and receive knowledge about different lives. I went to college hoping to find my people. Instead, I found my peace.

Some times we're deep with trying to figure things out and most of the time we know what we are doing

But i know what your talking about because I've asked that same question to my self. Even tho I know im never alone we have our energy we have our heart our brain and our hands lol

I like to build or create things I think many time we do it for our own reasons. I have. Family and friend that just drain me and I need to re group. Regenerate. I turned off the TV like 5 1/2 years ago. S o time by myself i see and I feel things deeper. I understand thing better when im trying to learn something.

I moved out if my mom's home when I wasv16 1/2. And there were many times where I felt like I was the only one in the world.
Even tho I had really good friends I till people person you have in your life is yourself. So learned how to love yourself and come the best you can become when you're alone, use that for good quality time. Don't think negative don't put yourself down and if you're lonely come on gag. I've been here fir along time. And so have many others and it amazes me that we are all still here. So there is a reason for I know Wednesday but we're all going to need each other. Sonetime I feel there is a plan.

I also think that most of the people here or a lot of people here are also empaths. I believe you are too. Well my answer is in there somewhere in there. Welcome to gag. I think you are going to bring a lot of insite and wisdom

First off, let me say , in my opinion the world needs more of people like you.
From what you've written I'm guessing that your wondering why I say that not knowing you at all, and thats a valid question. My answer may seem a little "mystical" but I've spent 60 years reading not necessarily things like your writin but id like to think it helps me know what's real , your writing makes me believe your words so when you start out saying you think for yourself , I belive you and I think that particular trait is sadly lacking today. There are questions id like to ask in private, nothing to personal but irregardless , things id guess youd prefer not to answer publicly , maybe even not at all. If youd like to talk more , message me , privately . if you've said what you needed to say misunderstand and my original statement stands. You really express your self well. Either way best of luck in what's coming.

I live with chronic illness. It is hard sometimes when I'm out of remission. It can be so isolating because I physically can't just jump up and go do the things that I want to because I need physical rest. This can last a few weeks, so when friends are calling, I'm like sorry, can't go, still can't go, and they sometimes think I'm just a flake which hurts. I've also found the few times I have opened up to share that I live with this, people just don't care. Like why even ask me if you don't want to know, so I shut down and just feel depressed and alone. Even when I joined a group, I didn't last very long in it because a lot of the people were much older and no one looked like me, and I just felt like 'an other' again, so I ended up dropping it, plus talking about how bad it can get made me feel way worse, not better.

Life is what you make of it. If someone feels alone, they put themselves there. Unfortunately, in today's society, people often blame others for their own failures.

TrimmedTip · Answer

Feeling alone often comes from feeling misunderstood or disconnected — even around others. It’s that sense that no one truly gets your struggles, your inner world, or your quiet battles. Sometimes it’s because of past hurts, sometimes because you think or care more deeply than those around you. But you’re right: every person we meet leaves a mark, and peace often comes from within, not from a crowd. You’re not alone in feeling alone… and there’s strength in that honesty. 💬🌙✨

I can relate to you a lot here. I know i am the biggest cause of why I am alone. Knowing that is the first step to changing it. Wanting to change it is the second. I'm still working on that part lol. The purpose is you. You know that and you got this!

Having your wife and kids die before you do will make you feel alone. Then watch your siblings and friends die too, that will make you feel alone. Having everything left you hold dear leave you will make you wonder why am I still here...

Just keep moving forward

Wallowing. That's why I don't do it. You know the quickest way to wipe away the feeling of being alone? Go out and help someone. This is why God created eachother. To love and help one another and to share in his glory.

When nobody is around me that understands or cares about me at all. People tend to ignore me, even when I try talking to them.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

No one to talk to or share things with. I'm almost used to it. I've been alone most of my life.

dustybiker2 · Answer

I've never felt alone. But then I have always had a bit of an intuitive gift.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

If you found peace: that's a good start.  Feeling ''alone'' perhaps tells of your quality, but not about your shortcomings.
