Alone.

The feeling is strong of being alone, even when I’m surrounded by people.

Hi Amanda. I’m sorry you’re feeling so alone. I can definitely relate. Sending you a big cyber hug.

Thank you, it’s horrible at times.

I get what you are saying. Sometimes I feel the loneliest when I'm in a crowded place, especially when everyone is socializing and I start getting anxiety. I want to just go home where I feel comfortable in my environment.

I don't know your story, but being on this site and going to support groups help me with being around people. They have the same issues so they can understand when I don't feel like talking.

Hopefully you can make some friends on this site to help ease your loneliness.

I have felt like that for years when I first turned 18 and went on nights out to clubs the place would be full and it felt like I was the only one there or I could last 30 minutes inside before it was to much and panic attacks happened.

And year's later i still feel so alone at time when the room is full.

You're not alone in being alone. It is amazing how many people feel that way. I heard that even with social media, people responded to surveys saying that they are feeling lonelier than ever.

Do you have any close friends? If not you can try meeting people by doing volunteer work or joining a meetup. com group. I get nervous doing something new like that but always find myself feeling better that I stepped out of my comfort zone.

I can relate to that feeling. Most times when I'm at a social gathering I'm too in my head being self-conscious about anxiety I feel. That causes me to feel overwhelmed where I need to withdraw. Then I notice how everyone else seems to be talking and enjoying each other's company so I feel like I've made myself an outcast. It becomes even more difficult to include myself which leads to a feeling of being alone and just wanting to hide from everybody. This probably isn't exactly how you're feeling or what you're describing but just saying I understand that feeling of being alone amongst a group of people.
