Why are the people still so lonely despite the massive crowds?

[Backstage_]

It goes without saying that everybody is so lonely in their essence in spite of massive crowds and 8 bilions of the world's population, quite large cities fullfilled by skyscrapers, to put in another way, you might not be able to find a date or friend who could understand and back you up at all times you need. When you log in your social media, you don't receive millions of messages, it's not quite easy to meet new people and there's no matter how much social or outgoing person you are, you always feel alone yourself in your essence. Why do people feel like that? Does it perhaps come from the creation of people by God?

It's not about how many people you are surrounded by, it's about what kind of people and how you connect with them. Think of it as "Quality over Quantity". People feel lonely when they can't connect with others. Lack of communication. If they are surrounded by people but not communicating then they feel isolated which makes them feel lonely.

I think the more individual socializes with others, the more comfortable they may become when meeting new individuals outside of their circle. It's hard to make a connection with someone if your primary means of communication with others is through social media platforms. Also, it seems people are not as outgoing in many parts of the world. Certain areas here in the United States are identified as friendly compared to other parts of the United States.

Being surrounded by a bunch strangers with no real connection can make you feel alone. It's like going to party and not knowing a single person there, bit everyone else is laughing and surrounded by their own friends. It would make you feel uncomfortable.

There is no god, so no, and not everyone is lonely, nor do those 2 subjects even relate, so I'm not sure how you decided to come to that conclusion.

For those who are lonely, its because the culture in their area shuns talking to strangers by promoting fear.

There isn't many people out there to trust and to be free to be yourself. This new generation isn't how the past history used to be. Back then you could just go out and meet anyone and make good friends, and possibly get a date and actually enjoy being in a good relationship that meant something for both. Now, it's harder and no one want to commit into anything, so its better to be on your own a lot than to have dramas that I know I have zero tolerance for any of it, I got enough as it is with 2 teenagers... they are good kids but they drive me crazy sometimes. 🤪

It’s not the presence of people. It’s the connection, or lack there of, with those people.

That's called behavioral drainage, it's to reduce population density, it's nature doing its bidding.

The people in the crowd are there but neither know, nor care about the person in question.

[Degenerate]

You be surrounded by people but still feel lonely lol

[Sabretooth]

Some people are too used to fakes and are unable to trust anyone or anything.

There are no real excuses for it apart from laziness and lack of communication skills.

Because you are a potato in world full of tomatoes

Being heard is not the same as being listened to
