Relationships

Why is it we can be with someone and feel so alone? Be in a crowd and feel alone?

I think we all may or will experience that in our lifetime. I think the thin times make us appreciate the full times.
And we are always here!!

Well. . .I would say it could be us or could be the person we are with.

But, in general, the world is a mirror. What you are is what you see.

Very true, Nimbus. We we put out is what we get back. Simple rule of life.

I know what you are talking about. We live in a very impersonal society. I have made an exceptional good friend of late, myself. I can take me about anywhere and feel just fine. That sure helps. I love to read. I get a lot of connection that way, especially with women writers.

I can be in a crowd and feel alone because I am an individual. I can enjoy the company of others and still be with, and acknowledge, myself as a separate entity

In relationships there is also space for each to be alone and a place for that if one or both is a strong individual.

If however you always feel lonely and you are with someone, then perhaps you are not in a real relationship. If you feel lonely in a crowd, maybe you are hanging with the wrong crowd. If you always feel lonely, perhaps you need to to do introspective searching. Others cannot be responsible for our own happiness, that must start within us.
