Alone

[lenny_thecat]

Have you ever been in a room full of people but still felt alone ? Any advice on feeling part of the room ? Why do I feel so different and why can’t I get out of my head !

You can absolutely feel alone in a room. Being surrounded doesn’t mean you feel connected. Make an effort to say hi to someone new and introduce yourself. Or make sure you try to talk to at least one person. Forcing yourself to do this might end up with connections or friendships you never dreamed of

Think lots of people understand that, it can be more lonely being in a room full of people than being alone, think trying to chat and communicate with people will make you feel more apart of what is going on staying quiet in a corner just causes you to feel more lonely and left out, it is hard but you may have to really try and push yourself to do it if you can

That’s the thing, I don’t connect I can meet everyone and still feel like I wanna get out.

Ok so that is totally fine. Something you need to work on if you want to or if u dont want to u dont have to.No one is forcing you-some people are uncomfortable in social situations but if u want to improve your communications skills & how u feel at parties then do it. What im hearing is a little bit of an insecurity & that's totally fine bc we all have insecurities..you're only human.

I was at a party the other day & I felt lonely too. I didnt feel good about it but I thought about it & decided next time I'll try to connect w more people. No biggie.

This is me basically all the time. I read your previous reply that you cannot connect to anyone and that is also me. I find no one really keeps my interest and we don’t have much in common. And I always feel like being judged

Yesss, you get the weird side looks and conversations just kind of drop off.

I've felt alone and misunderstood a billion times. It's just safer to stay to myself. But.... sometimes I break out of my shell. I'll make eye contact, talk about things that don't make me nervous, and practice deep breathing. I usually get out of my head when I do a lot of talking and laughing. I ALWAYS need to be distracted.

Being in a room full of people can be very overwhelming especially if you are a very sensitive person because you can pick up all the emotions of these people.
