You are not alone. Quite an obvious fact considering the numerous faces you have to tolerate looking at your schools and offices, at the mall, and basically anywhere outside when you leave your safe haven.
Yet majority of the people in the world are depressed due to this one reason - Loneliness. People rich and poor, confident and insecure ones, of age groups ranging from kids to the ones on the verge of death due to old age, All kinds can suffer due to loneliness.
You can be surrounded by your entire bloodline, all of your best pals and love interests and still feel lonely in that crowd -
Why? Because loneliness, it lies within you. And as clichè as it sounds, I have experienced being in crowds where none of the people around me were my family, with neither my friends nor acquaintances present there surrounded by people I knew nothing about - And still felt like I belonged there.
Because even when the going gets tough and I experience an intense wave of loneliness at times when I feel like there's nobody I could go to for a solution to all my problems, like nobody understands me in this entire world - I acknowledge the fact that this is how it is, has been and always going to be. It's you with yourself and you against the rest of the world, always.
The only person who can both physically and mentally never leave you is you.
You don't need to depress yourself over not finding that one or more special person in your life like everyone else when you are and can be your own special person.
Sure it is a wonderful feeling to be loved and be surrounded. To get attention and have company. But at the end of the day, loneliness is inevitable.
Because you are always going to be lonely, when people who you depend your happiness on leave at the end like they are destined to.
Only when you accept that you are the only permanent in your your life and the rest is temporary, will you be able to defeat loneliness.
So believe it or not, you must be a wonderful person to spend your life with, considering that humans are infact inherently selfish.
