Loneliness is a weird thing. You're not really alone in feeling alone. Tons of people feel the same way that you do, more or less. The thing is that you don't give a **** about anyone else's loneliness when you're lonely yourself. When you feel lonely, all that you know is that you're alone, feeling terrible about yourself, and you want someone or something to change that for you, but not for anyone else. You don't care if there are other people feeling this way, and why should you? You have to fend for yourself to get through every single day when you're lonely. You can't be worried about anyone else's loneliness because you don't even know what to do about you're own. Sometimes you even feel lonely in a room filled with people. Why? Maybe you don't belong, or you don't feel like you belong. You feel neglected or awkward or whatever. These people around you might not even see you in that way at all. Maybe they actually enjoy your company and want you to be around them. Well then why do you still feel so ******* lonely? Something in your mind is not allowing you to connect with these people enough to relieve your loneliness. Inside you still feel like no one really gets you. Sure, tell a few jokes here and there, everyone laughs. They love you! But do they really know you? You know they don't. How could anyone understand you when you don't even understand yourself. But if you don't even understand yourself, aren't you alone within yourself?
