That you can have so many people that you know care for you, yet you still feel lonely?
I have a large , loving (dysfunctional) family and I know they love me, but I still can't help but feel lonely, unloved, and just broken. I just wish I could get a hug from someone who would love me. I feel like I'm gonna be single forever, and it's my fault for pushing them all away.

You described my feelings perfectly about knowing people care and love you but still feeling utterly alone. That's a staple of depression and it's often very frustrating, and isolating. I feel guilty alot because of it. It's entirely normal, so you're not alone in that. Is there anyway you can spend more time with your family and friends that you know love you? Or even talk to them, ask them to call you once a day or whatever and express their care? I know it sounds cheesy but sometimes it helps to even get a text a day saying 'hey i love you'
