Been overwhelmed lately

I appear strong in front others

But they don't know the wars I have in my mind

Cause i tend to appear calm

I break down all of sudden

Idk how to deal with these emotions

With all these emotions running in my mind

All i feel is I am all alone in this whole world

Many times I've felt alone, even with people around. Loneliness is epidemic. I hope you find some connection here. Feel free to message me if you wish.  My emotions don't show either. Except for just a few times, I've always hidden my breakdowns.  That habit in itself can lead to feeling very lonely.  

No one can fully understand another person's wars or their journey, but a good measure of empathy is still possible.  To feel validated, even without being fully understood is helpful.  It means a lot, and sometimes everything to know that someone cares enough to try and understand. 

Sometimes a useful invitation is, "lets hang out and we can feel lonely together." I know that sounds contradictory and counter-intuitive, but it can also be therapeutic.  

Again, message me if you wish.

Hi, I've been struggling with loneliness for sometime too, always been socially awkward down to emotional regulation.

Finding Cups and just being active on forums and group discussions has helped form connections which is helping. Keep talking ...
