Have you ever felt alone? Like you dont have a soul to talk to- and you could be standing in a room full of people?! I did once.. I cried for days about what I had lost..but really inside I was 'repairing' (thats what an old friend told me)..and in a sense I was.. After all the countless tears I had cried.. I thought to myself 'What can I do about it?' and in all honesty, there was nothing i could do- but move on.. I picked myself up..(and as hard as it was, and as scared as I was- this is what has made me into the 'positive person' I am today.. hitting rock bottom doesnt necessarily mean losing anything- you could just reach the bottom within yourself..and if your not in any mood to 'pick yourself up'- NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU.. ..and believe me I know..does anyone else?. ..xx

I've felt it most of the time. It's a very hard feeling to be alone and you feel no one wants to talk to you or no one wants to listen. But what hurts me more is that I feel I can't count on with my loved ones. I tried to reach out for him but he is too busy with his work and business. Everytime we have a fight, It feels like I'm just only arguing with a thin air or in a ghost. If I'm happy if ever I achieve sometime, I can't tell him cause he doesn't have the heart to hear and respond. That's why, all my heartaches, happiness, frustration, guilt and even the unbearable problems I just keep it in myself and never to tell other people. I just cry or celebrate alone. It's very hard to feel this way.

I understand how you feel.. to feel alone but at the same time have the love from a supportive family- except the man you love.. My partner tends to care more about how he feels, than myself.. as with saying this, Im isolated from everyone as I put 100% of me into him. Im on the verge of breaking point and I cant talk to him either- so I think..'Its time to think of my happiness'..then I feel guilty for being weak/selfish..x

pain and loneliness are painfully familiar to me. You know what to feel himself repelled if dispossessed of their own world while you are surrounded by many people. I know that even married sometimes feel alone and overwhelmed with pain, then again my whole body. How many times happened to me I do not know but it's great misfortune not to have a shoulder on which to oblegnesh and cry and just to share the pain be your consolation. Night when sleep to nightmares from this. I feel that it often does not know what is true happiness. Have a nice day!

There are a lot of times I feel the same way but I just learned to deal with it. I can never make the world function in a way that suits me so I try my best to accept it as best as I could. I find it really empowering when you and you alone help your self.

I get this all the time. Sometimes, I think it is real and makes perfect sense when I find myself not relating to where or who I am around. If there are not enough things that I have in common with other people or at the time I am focused on something other than what is happening around me, yes I am alone. Even with other people, I am alone. On the other hand, I must be open minded because maintaining the assumption that no other soul feels what I feel, is in the same situation or is having or has had the same experiences is not correct. In that case, I am not alone.

Its better to be alone than be lonely. There was an occasion that i felt how you feel. I had quarreled with my project mates a few days before a picnic that they have arranged. I went for it because i thought things would be better and i need to finish up the project as i was the leader of the project. However, everyone talks to each other like i did not exist. They ate, laughed and play games and discuss about the project without even asking for my opinion. I did cry for days as i felt so lonely and feel like non-existent. Its a hard feeling to describe that i think whoever occurs it will only know how it feels.

i felt like this a a point in my life.. being a poet you sometimes feel that you are alone when you do have a smile on your face. nothing can make you feel feel better unless you have a place in you heart that you can go to that will try and make you feel better... prayer at times workes for me when i feel alone

Yes, I have been in this situation before as if all have fallen almost crushing me to the ground.But I said to my self from the bottom there's no other way but go up.I use this belief and the saying that "if others can do it,I can too."I have to be like a soldier the more he is wounded the more his desire to fight. I have to believe in myself that to make it happen I should move on and never to walk the same path again.

There were two circumstances in my life that i was so alone. One was w, hen i hit the bottom because of my misdoing and the other because of my husband. It was so hard, when the problem is just bottled up inside of me, not sharing it with anyone for fear of being misjudged and pitied. But when it was out in the open with my family, i felt so ashamed first, but later felt relieved. It feels good that we can ask the help of our family and of course God.

I have felt this situation and it was a tough one. I lost no one but I lost myself due to some crazy thought in my mind. I thought to change myself, I was not happy with myself so I thought to do the things my way. It was very hard to change me, it was painful. I felt as if I fell from the sky to a rocky surface but somehow I took the pain and kept going on. I am changed now and somehow I love what ever it is.

I tried many many times. At the first time, I shared with my friends or my family. However, once they told others and started complained, I no longer talk with them. In that period of time, I get lost and confused and I have no passion to do anyting.Finally, I find that it is better to go out of the box by yourself. Certainly, I shared my life with others(net frd only) Some people always feel alone because they cannot think out of the box and they enjoy the "pain" in their mind. They want others pay attentino to them and love them, or they just want to enjoy the pain. In my point of view, the best method is "enrich your life and experience". It can distribute your attention on "alone" and "sad", and also help you thinking more optimistic. Just my experience:) Hope you can get well soon. Cheer up!
