🐢 Xia Do you know the feeling of sometimes feeling alone in the world despite family and friends? What do you do about it?

🥨 Shruthi Feeling alienated vs connected comes in waves over the course of life. If you don't think the problem is a lack of people in your life, sometimes it's worthwhile to embrace the solitude. Alternatively talk to 'strangers', like neighbors, grocers etc...if you need the social engagement but can't engage in your close relationships

Chetan Vashisht I feel the same way. Sometimes books help, sometimes yoga does too. But I think it's best to keep yourself distracted by skilling up or talking to a long lost friend. But it's hard after a while. Goodluck my friend.

Chris Silverman I've felt that way my entire life, and I'm starting to realize that a lot of it comes from being around people who I don't connect with. They're not bad--I genuinely like them--but they never listen and they don't care about the things I care about. I think this comes from the fact that I've acquired most of my friends by default--the path of least resistance. If there's anyone in your life you genuinely connect with, I'd consider why, and try to find more people like them.

🌚 Nlggers I do know that feeling. My best suggestion is to try to reach out to your family and friends. Perhaps try to connect with them on a "deeper" level explaining how you feel about what you're experiencing day to day beyond the usual level of conversation you'd typically have. I began to make a real effort to do this a few months ago and it has made all the difference in the world. It's also very import to be genuinely attentive to what they have to say as well.

🗿 Simohamed Where's the loneliness coming from? Is it coming from not connecting with people on an intellectual level? Not connecting with someone in a love relationship? Not spending quality time with loved ones? All in all, keep yourself busy and find gratification and self-worth in your creations. E.g. an open source software, woodworking, etc. Don't sit idle.

🧩 Ben One thing I realized more and more as I got older is that no one really cares about anyone else. If you want to be friends with someone, or be a part of someone's life (and vice versa), you have to impose yourself on them. For example, if you want to play tennis with someone, keep bothering them about it. If you want to play video games with someone, keep bothering them about it. Sometimes it feels difficult or socially awkward but if you keep doing it, it gets better.

Marvin Wiik Yes, it's not the best feeling. Are you depressed? I don't feel alone. I like beeing alone, but that's not the same as feeling alone. Feeling alone don't mean your actually alone, but the feeling of beeing alone is still there and real enough.

⚪ Ghostis I find helping people around me helps me feel less alone.

📎 Bill Gatess Distract myself. E.g. playing music, learn new things. Sometimes it works.

🌋 Pod Unk Exercise more, with weights.

Yu L. You kinda just get used to it

Mihail Sometimes. I'm still figuring it out.
