Lonely

Have you ever been in a room full of people and yet you feel all alone. Maybe I am just tired but right now at this moment I feel extremly alone and my husband is sitting only about 20 feet away from me. It is times like this that I wonder what is wrong with me. I also seem to be emptying out chat when ever I go in or that is how it seems. Oh well tomorrow is another day.

It's not strange to feel like that. Sometimes it's difficult to share the things that matter the most with the people that matter the most. Just remember that there are always people there for you, however lonely you might feel, whether they're there with you or at the other end of an internet connection. And if you ever need to talk there will always be people to listen. At any rate, if it's a feeling Bon Jovi described it can't be abnormal can it? ("I may not be alone, you know that don't mean I'm not lonely")

Wow, I have and still do experience that same thing, it really sucks too, maybe talk to your therapist about it.
I socially isolate in the 3d world too, I kind of sit alone when at a school function. I do know the feeling too, that you posted here.
Oh, you do NOT clear out chat, it has nothing to do with you, many people come and go different times, in my case we have 3 computers in my house but never fails when I get on, someone needs this one with the "best scanner", geesh, I do not even use the scanner, never learned how
Please do not ever feel people leave around the time you come on, do not take it personal okay? Keep dropping by, and even on chat
Take care, just wish I could of gave you some suggestion on that Lonely thing, it plagues me often. . . maybe that is why I isolate, and come up to my computer room and log on here?
Who knows?

Take care now

Thanks for replying DE and Memaid. Rationally I know that I do not clear out a room - when I get these bouts of the lonelys I can do nothing right. Thanks again

I should say that when I get this way I feel that I can do nothing right.

Funny Nerak that I have titled a post called "lonely" here before and said almost exactly what you do. I really can't offer any advice because I still feel alone in a room full of people and stuff. I guess the best I could suggest is to try to busy yourself at public thing and stuff so that you don't think of it. Anyway we are thinking about you.

That is a good idea, Nerak, that Dude just gave, it may help
Thanks for some extra advice to her

Thanks dude

No problem. I don't even think that what I said was that good or knowledgeable lol.
But if it helped I guess its a good thing then eh?

Unfortunantly I have felt the same way, I can be in a room with my best friends and feel completely alone. I don't really have any advice but just try and keep involved it helps a little sometimes. And don't worry you don't chase anyone out of chat, sometimes I think I do but I'm just in like the last time zone oh well . take care.

On the flipside you can also be alone and not be lonely. I used to really value my alone time. I liked being with myself. I spent a lot of time in "group" functions and I really valued my friends but sometimes I would specifically set aside time to be alone. I made a habit of spending every thanksgiving alone for instance, it was my quite holiday weekend, the other holidays I would spend throwing parties or what.

And I often truly believed that my ability to be alone was evidence that I "liked myself" and didn't need other people to give me fulfullment. And I think that is why I always had a lot of friends (after all if you don't like yourself how can you expect other people to like you?)

so it is a very very drastic change to where I am now... alone AND lonely... lonely even in groups just like you describe (and that makes it worse because I come home alone and just think about what I've lost more) and also really not liking myself... not exactly true, I do like the person that I am but I do not like my behavior or attitude or personality while I am under the influence of the depression, and that is of course at the root of a ton of isolation which only makes it worse.

I feel for you Dexter. I can relate only too well. At parties I tend to try to get away from it. Not sure what you would call it but I just panic and want to leave. Anyway not sure what it is so maybe I will post on it sometime.
