Am I really alone ?
Lately, I’ve been feeling so alone. Surrounded by people, yet it’s like no one sees me. It’s as if they’re just… there — like furniture in the background. No one asks “How are you?” or “Are you okay?” I’m not looking for attention, I just want to know I’m not invisible. Am I really alone in this?
@selfconfidentPineapple4210 hey👋 if you need to talk, reach me out
@selfconfidentPineapple4210 How are you my friend ? 🙂
@selfconfidentPineapple4210
How are you, dear? Are you ok?
@selfconfidentPineapple4210 Of course you're not alone in this! I'm sorry you feel this way, but I think we all get this feeling where we feel alone with all the support in the world. I think it's important to remind yourself when feeling these emotions that not only do you have those friends and family but you have a community here who will remind you they're here every steps of the way!
@selfconfidentPineapple4210 You aren't alone. I have often struggled with feeling invisible. I have been in therapy, and that has helped me. You can be seen. Right now, the people responding to you on this platform see your need. So, from someone who understands, what do you need? What makes you feel seen?
@generousComputer6382 I know that and understand it but I don't really know what I need right now, I just know that I don't wanna feel like this anymore and I needed to talk to someone to vent
That's a good start. I still freeze up sometimes if someone asks me a question. And you knew that you needed to vent, and you did. Feelings are hard to deal with, especially if they just stay inside you. If you don't mind answering, was there a time when you didn't feel this way?
@generousComputer6382 yes there was definitely a time when I didn't feel this way , about 3years ago
For me, looking back to times when I was connected or happy reminds me that I can feel that, and I can feel that again. You can't go back, but you can go forward knowing that connection is possible. I am here if you want to talk.
I feel totally alone and unable to relate to most people ...
@Thelilbear1975 I am sorry that you feel that way. You are not alone. I have felt that way before. It can get better. If you want to talk about it, I will listen.
@Thelilbear1975 welcome, you are not alone here, I understand it can be hard to relate but with time you can make great friends here

You are not alone, my friend.
Sometimes, we get caught up in our own pain and start to wonder, “Why can’t they see what I’m going through?” The truth is, some people do see your sadness...but not everyone will respond. Many are preoccupied with their own struggles. If it feels like no one sees you, try to step out and be seen. Reach out. You might find someone who feels just as alone as you do—and in connecting, you both can find comfort. That’s just my take. Keep your heart open, and try to stay positive. When we carry heavy, negative energy, people often pull away—not because they don’t care, but because they’re trying to protect their own peace.So try to be a light. You never know who needs your warmth.Take care.
