Discussion There are many people who claim to be lonely without being so.

Every time I try to talk to a family member about loneliness and ostracization they tell me they have been through it and often bring up very light issues they had in the past, a certain insecurity or complex that made them insecure or how they didn't fit in in that 1 place, but I feel like this is very light and something everyone has been through, I find it not truly lonely. I see this online as well. Of course you can never really tell what another is truly experiencing or experienced or felt but I don't find it genuine and it feels like no one understands me in the end.

No One undestrands no One. Thats the only thing I'm sure of. Everyone is different and our fucking depression is an expression not only of the traumas we have but also on how we perceive them. That's why we can't fucking understand each other because something that is innocue go me May be killing u on the inside. And this fucking suck because it makes us realize that we cannot fucking relate ti anyone. I'd really like to help u feel any better but this word does not fucking work, It fucking sucks

I realized one day that no one is ever going to understand my pain because they're not me. They can try to relate but they'll never understand. Even though I have people around me I still feel lonely.

I'm sorry if it was rude, but I guess even between us we can't really understand each other. We may feel some empathy and try to help us but in the end we're still alone fighting our own battle. I hope u will win yours

I think that many people think they have been very alone. They may also have felt incredibly lonely. I don't like to downplay other people's emotions, but of course, sometimes it's obvious that they're talking about something much different.

I am so jealous of those people. Imagine exaggerating your negative feelings so they sound bad enough to be worth talking about. Having to do that! And they don't even realise it. Recently made a friend like this. Infuriating.

No don't worry about it, it wasn't rude at all. I'm thankful for your reply

I totally get your point and sorry, I know this isn't the Recovery site - but I honestly don't think anyone needs people to truly "understand" their pain. What everyone is missing is someone who will care even if they can't relate.

I find that people with the same mental issues might find comfort in knowing what the other is going through, but it's a very sad comfort. The "understanding" factor is smaller than you think.

I'm truly sorry you feel this way. But what you are looking for won't fix it. Hell, nothing will "fix" shit. But I promise that one person that will listen, care and love you nonetheless without trying to push their own agenda onto you is the best thing that could happen to you.

Don't know why I just wrote all that, sorry, first comment I saw on the first post I read on my first visit back here after months. Don't feel pressured to reply.
