Have you ever felt loved by many and appreciate it but at the same time you feel so dark and lonely inside?
Absolutely. I struggle with this a lot, and I tend to wonder if it has to do with expectations. When I expect people to be there for me when I need them. When I expect them to be more attentive of my needs and expectations. That is usually MY issue. So, I try not to expect anything from anyone. Seems to help a little
@HardBlues69 I think sometimes isolation is a good thing, and helps us re-eval who we want in our lives too. I recently had a friend who would complain about their life and problems and I was there for them every single time. But then the last time I mentioned some issues I was dealing with and they totally bypassed what I said. I let it go, but then they came to me again for help and when I gave them honest advice, they didn't like hearing the truth and unfriended me. Made me sad at first that they didn't even care that I was going through some things. But it made me realize I don't want that kind of selfish person in my life. When they came back to make friends again, I cut them off completely. It was a nice relief.
@HardBlues69 correct!! You have to be resilient.

@HardBlues69 thank you. I return the sentiment.
Nope, never felt loved by many. Got the dark and lonely part covered though.
