Loneliness Support Group

Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people.

I'm in a really tough spot and I'm to the point of where I'm not sure what to do. I'm starting to feel really socially distant with people as a whole, even ones I'm usually comfortable with. I feel like I'm around them and I can see them but they can't see me or hear me at all and only a the truly special ones can see me without me wrapping myself in bandages. I don't even know how to make conversation with people anymore like I used to and I'm worried that everyone I enjoy being around is going to stray away from me. I'm always conscious of what I say and do now so much so that I'm always in my head about if I'm coming off wrong. The people I am still close to even make me worry because I feel like they need me in their lives more than they want me there sometimes. I'm sure the way I feel is based on some sort of dislike that I have for myself deep down, and its because of it that I tell myself that no matter how significant I might be to someone that my presence doesn't really matter. All I think about is putting on a back pack and going far away from my friends and family so they can forget about me but I don't know why I feel this way. I don't want to drive the people I have away from me with this feeling, I just don't know what to do.

Sorry to hear that your feeling like this, but know your not alone. It sounds to me like these thoughts are from depression/anxiety. I used to feel the same way and have found that talking to a therapist helps immensely. You just have to find a therapist that you connect with. I also think if these thoughts are interfering with your everyday life that maybe medication would help? I don't know your particular situation, I just know I have been there and what has helped me. Just remember that the thoughts your having are temporary and will pass, I promise.

Yes I agree with mermaid, this sounds a lot like depression, I would see your Dr and ask for help

Thanks for the replies, I've always tried not to take anti anxiety meds but I'm starting to think they might actually help along with some therapy and self improvement. Its good to know that I can come here and talk to people who understand.

greetings ,, i don't understand the bandage part,, we grow differently everyone of us sometimes in a rate where whom we believe ourselves to be can become unrecognizable to ourselves,, if u haven't seen a psycho therapist perhaps that's something you should consider,, an i'd be leary taking medication unless you have been diagnosed with a particular situation an sometimes meds have side effects that may take time getting use to an if ur using any they could b having an affect on you depending on dosage,, meditation is helpful breathing an praying ,, i'll keep you in prayer for comfort peace of mind an physical health,,
