Alone

[klm96]

Have you ever been in a group of people but felt so withdrawn and lonely?

[jkl5500]

Sure I have. It's a standard symptom of depression, along with the emptiness, worthlessness, hopelessness, etc.

Just remember that these are only symptoms - they are tricks your brain is playing on you. That doesn't mean they're not horrible, but you have to keep in mind that they're not real.

Completely invisible by any chance?

[Ames09]

Yes

Yes so much. Then I make a fool our of myself by trying to hard to get involved and end up looking like an idiot.

Aww atleast you try and as long as no harm's done you didn't hurt yourself or anyone!! Hey maybe you made someone laugh and smile and that's worth a ton😀!!! and maybe as you say "looking like an idiot" is subjective(think that's the word I'm trying to think of) or its dependin on the outlook of each person maybe?? All I know is I experienced some saddness, disappointment, rudeness and such last night at a wedding I went to and all of. sudden noticed there was this guy that started dancing soo funny just having a ball dancing as if he didn't care what anyone thought just enjoying it!! at first I did judge for a sec. and think wow he really looks ridiculous and doesn't dance well at all!! but it was making us laugh it was soo cute and fun it took him courage to be such a goof ball-so I really loved it it's what we all needed!! atleast if anyone was able to appreciate it that way and not just look negatively in judgement!! but see how awesome it was he was living and having fun- he was going to dance and feel the music in that moment!!! This was soo great maybe he needed that 2 maybe he felt tired of being sad, invisible or something who knows but he sure got attention from that and was feeling good!!!☺️ Just thought to share that was really funny & cute!!!
