I never feel alone when I am by myself!. In a crowd I absolutely do feel alone!

If you are with a person you have little in common with, you will feel alone. The worst kind of loneliness is to be with someone but still feel alone. Less painful to be by yourself and feel alone than to be with the wrong person.

Some people are wired to make others feel lonely. Being alone is a physical act; loneliness is an emotional feeling of being alone. I have a very active mind and it can keep me busy and entertained even when I am with vacuous people that are wired to make others feel lonely- and I avoid them like a plague. I have spent much of my life alone in jobs, home, life. It is how a person looks at their situation, if you are alone find things to do to keep your mind and body active. If you are with vacuum people that make you feel emotionally alone step it up and throw them off balance with questions, actions, and find a way to get the fuck away from them.

I do wish I felt less alone with others. It does depend on the company though and it has taken me a very long time to appreciate that.

And I really wish there were more people that I connect with more easily. The ones with whom I connect with are few and far between.

be cautious of who you hook up with. if you're with that right person you shouldn't feel alone. if you do, mebbe it's time to look around

For me, feeling alone when with someone usually is combined with feeling like I'm their company, but they aren't being mine. It feels like a one way street where they don't put time and attention into to me, as I do them.
